Introduction[edit | edit source]
Virtual reality is a novel approach that is gaining ground in rehabilitation especially in stroke rehabilitation. Recently a group of scholar had shown that virtual reality serves as a memory aid in improving cognitive status in older adults. This draft will elucidates on scholastic view on using this approach for improving cognitive status among older adults with cognitive impairment.
Overview of Virtual Reality Approach[edit | edit source]
Virtual reality uses computer technology to creates a virtual environment of three dimension worlds which allow the technology user to be immersed and interact with this new world.[1][2]The idea of virtual reality is attributed to Jaron Lanier in the late 1980s who created a computer model that allows user to interact with virtual environment. Virtual reality is now use in various disciplines such as education military technologies, space, medicine and in rehabilitation science.
In the field of rehabilitation, virtual reality allows users to have a complete control of prescribed exercise activities or stimulus. Virtual reality also provides evenness with the exercise activities or stimuli provided. The core of rehabilitation like activities grading, progression from simple to complex, consideration of individual baseline and ability, exercise progression and progress monitoring are all enhanced with virtual reality. Virtual reality also provides safe environment and motivation to its users. In the field of motor rehabilitation virtual reality provides affordable rehabilitation environment without compromising principles of rehabilitation ( motor control and motor learning).
