Virtual reality for rehabilitation

[Larobby]

I’ve just read a research article that describes the positive benefits of virtual reality games for SCA ataxia patients - has anyone tried this? I wonder if people who have diploplia (double vision) can still use this?

This sounds cool! Post saved. Please share the article if you can.

It won’t let me paste the article link, but you could google the title: Feasibility of virtual reality-based balance rehabilitation in adults with spinocerebellar ataxia: a prospective observational study

Been doing it for a year or two. The occulas quest two works the best currently. Good for balance, reflexes and fine motor control.

That’s amazing! I’ll see if I can buy one for my brother. He has severe diploplia so not sure how he might react…

My daughter let me try one she has..🙈 Not good for Vestibular issues

Check for visual acceptability but you can get inserts, as indicated vestibular issues need to be considered as they may be an issue
