Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects a virtual reality training with BTS Nirvana (BTS-N) system in cognitive and behavioral recovery patients Parkinson disease (PD). BTS-N semi-immersive therapy used for motor rehabilitation neurological diseases, by creating scenarios which patient may interact. Methods: We enrolled 20 PD undergoing neurorehabilitation. All were randomized into 2 groups: experimental group performing control traditional training. Each participant...

Post-stroke cognitive disorders can affect different domains, depending on typology of stroke and lesion localization, onset time, age diagnostic tools used. In recent years, telerehabilitation using virtual reality has been used to reduce the healthcare costs encouraging continuity care. The aim our study is evaluate efficacy a rehabilitation system in improving function survivors. Forty patients affected by were enrolled this randomized into either control or experimental groups order...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common cause of long-term disability and death among young adults, it represents an enormous socioeconomic healthcare burden. Our purpose to evaluate effects a virtual reality training with BTs-Nirvana (BTs-N) on recovery cognitive functions in TBI subjects, using interactive semi-immersive program. One hundred patients were enrolled this study randomized into either Traditional Cognitive Rehabilitation Group (TCRG: n = 50) or Virtual Reality Training...

In recent years, the study of dyslexia has seen rapid progress in definition and classification, neuropsychological correlates, neurobiological factors, intervention. However, there are few studies on how virtual reality can affect improving cognitive domains cross-cutting pedagogical skills. We, therefore, tested intervention through use a rehabilitation system (VRRS) children with dyslexia. Twenty-eight patients diagnosed were enrolled this study. One-half underwent conventional treatment,...

Abstract Rationale: Aim of this study is to evaluate the cognitive and motor outcomes after a combined rehabilitative training using standard approach virtual reality (VR), in patient with spinal cord injury (SCI). Patient's concerns: A 60-year-old right-handed man, affected by incomplete cervical SCI, came our observation for moderate tetraparesis, mainly involving left side, about 6-months from acute event. The neurological examination showed imbalance upper limb incoordination, besides...

Abstract Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by different motor, vegetative, behavioral, and cognitive impairments, with worsening quality of life. Virtual reality devices have given promising results in neurorehabilitation as they can provide multisensory stimulation realistic environment. This study aims to test the efficacy virtual training using Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment impairment sample PD. 31 patients affected PD were enrolled. All...

Post-stroke cognitive impairment occurs frequently in patients with stroke, a 20% to 80% prevalence. Anxiety is common after and associated poorer quality of life. The use standard relaxation techniques treating anxiety undergoing post-stroke rehabilitation have shown some positive effects, whereas virtual reality seems role the treatment disorders, especially when neurological damage.A 50-year-old woman, smokers, affected by hypertension right ischemic stroke chronic phase (i.e., 12 months...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative due to dopamine deficiency in the basal ganglia, leading motor symptoms such as bradykinesia, tremor, stiffness, and postural instability. This may also be associated with broad spectrum of non-motor symptoms. More than 24% patients PD have one or more cognitive symptoms.To evaluate effects computer-assisted rehabilitation (CACR) (PD).Sixty were enrolled this study randomly divided into control group (CG) experimental (EG). Each participant was...
