An overview of Virtual Reality (VR) for clinical rehabilitation settings
Join Dr Daniel Harvie as he gives a video overview of how Virtual Reality is being used in rehabilitation health settings.
The way we see ourselves (our bodies) shapes our feelings and perception, directs the way we interact with the world. For example, after an ongoing pain problem, people often feel that their body is weak and fragile, which can increase pain and decrease activity levels. Virtual Reality (VR) allows people to become anything and anyone. Such experiences can have profound impacts on how we see ourselves.
At The Hopkins Centre, we are trialling several projects aimed to test a novel VR approach, to help people regain confidence in their bodies. The following overview on Virtual Reality (VR) is accompanied by a series of five (5) videos. This series aims to informs clinicians in the emerging art of virtual reality in health and rehabilitation. We think that arming clinicians with this new technology will catalyse the discovery of the most compelling use cases.
