How does VR for pain work?

VR can be used therapeutically for physical complaints, aiding in the improvement of the sensorimotor cortex and neuroplasticity. Patients engage in VR games at their own range-of-motion level, where motion sensors track the correct execution of exercises and monitor progress. Throughout the treatment, the difficulty of the exercises can be adjusted, facilitating improvement. This way, VR also contributes to pain management

How does VR for neurological disorders work?

VR can be used therapeutically for neurological disorders, aiding in the improvement of the sensorimotor cortex and neuroplasticity. Patients engage in VR games at their own range-of-motion level, where motion sensors track the correct execution of exercises and monitor progress. Throughout the treatment, the difficulty of the exercises can be adjusted, facilitating improvement. This way, VR also contributes to trunk stability, visual impairment and cognitive functions.
