Virtual Reality Technology in Complex Medical Rehabilitation of Patients with Disabilities (Review)

Abstract

The review is devoted to integration of innovative virtual reality technologies in the complex of medical rehabilitation of patients with disabilities. The analysis of data presented in modern domestic and foreign literature proves the effectiveness of using these technologies for recovery of impaired motor functions in patients of various ages with nervous and musculoskeletal system pathologies and gives evidence of their corrective effect on neurophysiological motor deficiency. Evaluation of the achieved results from the perspective of evidence-based medicine confirms the feasibility of using a personalized approach to targeting and controlling the dosage of virtual technologies in the complex of rehabilitation measures.

Personalized Virtual Reality Environments for Intervention with People with Disability

“…In a review of the application of Virtual Reality in Complex Medical Rehabilitation, it was concluded that "the use of virtual environments has proven effective for the recovery of impaired motor skills in people with disabilities". Nevertheless, it is necessary to provide personalized scenarios, goals, and tasks in order to achieve the maximum possible improvement in physical and cognitive skills as well as to register the results obtained during the sessions for each user [28].…”

Virtual Reality at the Service of People with Functional Diversity: Personalized Intervention Spaces

“…In a review about the application of Virtual Reality in Complex Medical Rehabilitation, authors once analyzed the literature and concluded that the use of virtual environments has proven effectiveness on the recovery of impaired motor skills in people with disabilities. However, to get the optimal results of this application, a personalized approach and monitoring registration of some physical and cognitive variables are required [6].…”

Teaching Strategies of Biological Experiments in Middle Schools Based on VR Technology

“…2) Situational cognitive theory Situational learning emphasizes the critical role of students' interaction with the environment and practice in the learning process. The theory holds that meaningful knowledge construction can only occur in the learning process combined with real situations [17]. VR technology provides a virtual immersive learning situation so that students have a "sense of presence."…”
