Comparison of Virtual Reality Versus Physical Reality on Movement Characteristics of Persons With Parkinson's Disease: Effects of Moving Targets

Efeitos do tratamento com realidade virtual não imersiva na qualidade de vida de indivíduos com Parkinson

“…15 Os atributos da RV a tornam uma possibilidade para a realização de muitas metas de reabilitação, incluindo o incentivo a aprendizagem para os pacientes, a participação ativa dos mesmos, oferta de ambientes desafiadores, a característica de ser segura, a flexibilidade de individualização e graduação dos protocolos de tratamento, a capacidade para registrar as medidas objetivas de desempenho, além do poder para motivar o paciente a realizar sua capacidade máxima. 25 discorrem sobre esta capacidade da RV no tocante à velocidade de movimento: pessoas com DP aumentaram a velocidade de movimento em resposta a bolas em movimento rápido no jogo utilizado. Isto sugere que, com uma escolha adequada da velocidade dos alvos, a RV é uma ferramenta promissora para fornecer estímulos visuais em movimento para melhorar a velocidade de movimento, repercutindo na mobilidade e na realização das AVDs.…”

Dopaminergic contributions to distance estimation in Parkinson's disease: A sensory-perceptual deficit?

“…This is a common finding for the magnitude of error to increase in a simulated environment when compared to performance in physical reality. In fact, it is a characteristic finding that participants in VR consistently fall systematically short of true travel distances (Frenz & Lappe, 2005;Harris et al, 2000;Wang et al, 2011). Previous literature has pointed out that virtual reality changes perception-action coupling by two respects (Wang et al, 2011).…”

Previous literature has pointed out that virtual reality changes perception-action coupling by two respects (Wang et al, 2011). First, virtual reality fails to provide sufficient depth perception making it difficult to precisely locate the target position.…”

Virtual reality-based therapy for the treatment of balance deficits in patients receiving inpatient rehabilitation for traumatic brain injury

“…In regards to balance, VR provides an avenue to implement many of the therapy strategies that have been established for physical and neurological recovery, including repetitive practice, self-observation, biofeedback and imitation of others movements. [35] An extensive evidence base has been established demonstrating the positive effects of utilizing VR for the treatment of balance deficits in neurologically similar patients, including stroke, [81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92] Parkinson's disease [80,93,94] and spinal cord injury. [35,36,95,96] Studies of varying levels of complexities in these populations have shown that groups utilizing VR have improved gait speed, standing endurance, and score higher than groups receiving the 'standard of care' on measures of posture, standing and higher level balance.…”
