This technology is a virtual reality (VR) platform able to design, analyze, and train motor tasks to improve postural and upper limb movements.
Deficits in postural and upper limb motor control significantly contribute to physical disabilities, restricting normal mobility and a patient’s ability to perform daily tasks. While physical medicine and rehabilitation approaches exist for such cases, these approaches are limited to training constrained limb movements, which do not translate well to the more natural, unconstrained state of day-to-day activities. As such, it is imperative to develop rehabilitation methods that allow patients to practice unconstrained mobility to better prepare them for daily tasks.
This technology is a virtual reality (VR) platform that can be used to train complex, unconstrained motor tasks. The platform is capable of virtually replicating goal-oriented motor tasks that better replicate natural bodily motions for the purposes of rehabilitation training. This platform has been used to measure and analyze the performance of healthy adults in several motor tasks has been shown to improve motor function in individuals following practice compared to baseline.
