Introduction[edit | edit source]
What is Virtual Reality?[edit | edit source]
Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-based simulation of a 3-dimensional environment in which the individual can interact with the environment by using additional electronic equipment. VR technology provides sensory stimulation and feedback, which alters brain activity and enhances neuroplasticity, as well as motor learning[1]. For this reason, research assessing the effect of VR on individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has drastically increased in the past decade.
Multiples Sclerosis[edit | edit source]
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is chronic inflammation, demyelination, and breakdown of neural tissue due to an autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system. The damaged neural structures and connections lead to numerous symptoms such as;[2]
- Pain
- Vision & hearing loss
- Impaired coordination, sensation & balance
- Impaired motor control
- Cognitive decline
- Sexual dysfunction & bladder and bowel complications
- Dysarthria
- Dysphagia
The impact of VR on Multiple Sclerosis[edit | edit source]
