“…99–102,103,104 These reviews (Table 2) have different objectives including the evidence on the Wii, 99 discriminating between VR coupled with treadmills, customized systems that do not involve a treadmill and off-the-shelf games. 103 There is a small but consistent benefit for VR in gait measured by gait speed, 100,102–104 and balance measured by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Timed Up and Go (TUG). 100–104 The meta-analyses favor VR with balance outcomes, however, these studies do not meet the minimal clinically important difference (MCID).…”

“…Customized systems are superior to SG in balance and mobility studies in people post-stroke and with upper extremity function in children with CP. 89,103 One problem with these customized systems is that many are developed and tested and then discarded because no method exists to transfer them out of the lab and into the clinic. To address this gap, clinician scientists and engineers from Spain, Portugal and the US have created an online resource, Open Rehabilitation Initiative, to share executable versions of the VR and SGs.…”

Use of virtual reality (VR) and serious games (SGs) interventions within rehabilitation as motivating tools for task specific training for individuals with neurological conditions are fast-developing. Within this perspective paper we use the framework of the IV STEP conference to summarize the literature on VR and SG for children and adults by three topics: Prevention; Outcomes: Body-Function-Structure, Activity and Participation; and Plasticity. Overall the literature in this area offers support for use of VR and SGs to improve body functions and to some extent activity domain outcomes. Critical analysis of clients' goals and selective evaluation of VR and SGs are necessary to appropriately take advantage of these tools within intervention. Further research on prevention, participation, and plasticity is warranted. We offer suggestions for bridging the gap between research and practice integrating VR and SGs into physical therapist education and practice.

“…Concerns about motor skill transfer from virtual to real environments are even greater when specifically considering the use of VR viewed using a head-mounted display (HMD-VR). HMD-VR provides a more immersive experience compared to conventional environments (e.g., computer screens) and results in increased levels of presence (i.e., the illusion of actually being present in the virtual environment) and embodiment (i.e., the perceptual ownership of a virtual body in a virtual space) [13,14] that modulate behavior [15] and impact performance on motor learning and rehabilitation applications (e.g., gait, balance, neurofeedback tasks) [16][17][18]. Additionally, motor learning in HMD-VR (e.g., upper extremity visuomotor adaptation) has been shown to rely on different learning processes compared to a conventional screen environment [19].…”

Transfer of motor skill between virtual reality viewed using a head-mounted display and conventional screen environments

Background: Virtual reality viewed using a head-mounted display (HMD-VR) has the potential to be a useful tool for motor learning and rehabilitation. However, when developing tools for these purposes, it is important to design applications that will effectively transfer to the real world. Therefore, it is essential to understand whether motor skills transfer between HMD-VR and conventional screen-based environments and what factors predict transfer. Methods: We randomized 70 healthy participants into two groups. Both groups trained on a well-established measure of motor skill acquisition, the Sequential Visual Isometric Pinch Task (SVIPT), either in HMD-VR or in a conventional environment (i.e., computer screen). We then tested whether the motor skills transferred from HMD-VR to the computer screen, and vice versa. After the completion of the experiment, participants responded to questions relating to their presence in their respective training environment, age, gender, video game use, and previous HMD-VR experience. Using multivariate and univariate linear regression, we then examined whether any personal factors from the questionnaires predicted individual differences in motor skill transfer between environments. Results: Our results suggest that motor skill acquisition of this task occurs at the same rate in both HMD-VR and conventional screen environments. However, the motor skills acquired in HMD-VR did not transfer to the screen environment. While this decrease in motor skill performance when moving to the screen environment was not significantly predicted by self-reported factors, there were trends for correlations with presence and previous HMD-VR experience. Conversely, motor skills acquired in a conventional screen environment not only transferred but improved in HMD-VR, and this increase in motor skill performance could be predicted by self-reported factors of presence, gender, age and video game use.

“…Within health and medical sciences VR is used for predominantly therapeutic or rehabilitation applications (e.g. after stroke), typically utilising spatial information (Howard et al 2017;Iruthayarajah et al 2017). VR for visual analytics still sits in a very niche area of applications, with just a few limited examples outside our own developments existing in the literature (Coffey et al 2011;Donalek et al 2014) and industry.…”

In disciplines such as biomedicine and social sciences, sharing and combining sensitive individual-level data is often prohibited by ethical-legal or governance constraints and other barriers such as the control of intellectual property or the huge sample sizes. DataSHIELD (Data Aggregation Through Anonymous Summary-statistics from Harmonised Individual-levEL Databases) is a distributed approach that allows the analysis of sensitive individual-level data from one study, and the co-analysis of such data from several studies simultaneously without physically pooling them or disclosing any data.Following initial proof of principle, a stable DataSHIELD platform has now been implemented in a number of epidemiological consortia. This paper reports three new applications of DataSHIELD including application to post-publication sensitive data analysis, text data analysis and privacy protected data visualisation. Expansion of DataSHIELD analytic functionality and application to additional data types demonstrate the broad applications of the software beyond biomedical sciences.
