rehabilitation using Virtual Reality

cognitive tele-rehabilitation using VR

t'//the//ye Guttmann Institute & ye Biomedical-Engineering-Research-Center (---CREB---) & ye Department-of-Software o'//of Universitat-Politècnica-de-Catalunya (---UPC---) , as well as , other science-partners & other technologies-partners , 'r working on a tele-rehabilitationnal//tele-rehabilitational//tele-rehabilitation's-program , 4//for treating people-w/-cognitive-deficits-,-caused-by-acquired-brain's-damage .

a 3D-space , 's been designed2help these people , to improve their functionnal//functional capacity , in daily life .

t'//the//ye Guttmann-Institute , a university's-institute , attached2 Autonomous-University-of-Barcelona//Universitat-Autònoma-de-Barcelona (---UAB---) , 's been developping//develop'ing//developing a clinickal//cliniccal//clinicl//clinic//clinical-research over last 5 years

Now , with collaboration o'//of Generalitat’s Ministry-of-Universities & Research-and-the-Information-Society & Health-Department , it's created t'//the//ye Cognitive-Rehabilitation-Platform (---PREVIRNEC---) , to treat ye cognitive sequelae , associated w/ brain damage .

'the project’s-leader , 's Dr Teresa Roig Rovira , t'//the//ye head o'//of Neuropsychology-Unit @ 'the Institute

t'//the//ye PREVIRNEC's platform 'd//would en-able t'//the//ye therapists , to personnallise//personalise//personalize ye treatmental//treatment's-plans ::: ye intensive-rehabilitation could b//be programmed automatickally//automaticcally//automaticly//automatically , for - 'the required-length-of-time & 'the results monitorred//monitored & 'the level-of-difficulty-,-adjusted-according-patient’s-performance-@-previous-sessions

a multi-disciplinary team o'//of researchers , 's presently working on 'the project :::

- 'the UPC’s CREB , co-ordinated by t'//the//ye lecturer - Daniela Tost , 's in charge of 3D software

- t'//the//ye Guttmann Institute , a benchmark @ neuro-rehabilitation , 's been contributing neuropsychologickal//neuropsychologiccal//neuropsychologicl//neuropsychologic//neuropsychological knowledge & therapeutic knowledge

- a group from Rovira-i-Virgili-University , 's responsible 4//for distributed-software.

t'//the//ye aim o'//of this project , 's ::: to use ye software , to meet ye treatmental//treatment's-needs o' patients-w/-acquired-brain's-damage , by representing every-day's real-life in2 virtual-world

All-of-'the-software , 's//has 2 applications :::

- 't//it 'd//would offer 'the patient , with a 3D-platform , to carry out her//his//its//1's//one's//eir//their//thons//vis//xyr//yor//hir//hir//hir//hys//cos cognitive rehabilitationnal//rehabilitational//rehabilitation's-exercises

- 't//it 'd//would provide a web's//web-interface 4//for therapist , through which , 'the differrent exercises could b//be programmed for each-individual , their performance being monitorred//monitored , their progress being assessed , their rehabilitationnal//rehabilitational//rehabilitation's-plan being ad-apted//adApted , should that b//be required

currently , t'//the//ye main limitation o'//of conventionnal//conventional-cognitive-rehabilitation , 's ye differrence , between types-of-activities-,-used-@-therapeutic-sessions & real-difficulties-,-which-ye-patient-'d-face-after-treatment .

t'//the//ye introduction o'//of VR-applications , 'd//would help2reduce this gap , between clinickal//cliniccal//clinicl//clinic//clinical-practice , & , every-day's life

@ this innovative proposal , t'//the//ye contribution o'//of UPC’s Computer-Science-in-Engineering-Group (---GIE---) involves :::::: developping//develop'ing//developing virtual-realities o'//of every-day-spaces , 4-example ::: 'the kitchen , in which , 'the patient 'd//would have2carry out severral tasks , such as - putting thing away in2 fridge , or , preparing salad , etc .

'the's//these kinds o'//of tasks , which 'r difficult2simulate , could help 'the patient , to work on her//his//its//1's//one's//eir//their//thons//vis//xyr//yor//hir//hir//hir//hys//cos own ability , to plan & to sequence & to categorrise//categorrise//categorize , etc

t'//the//ye flexibility & ad-aptability//adAptability o'//of this technology , 'd//would mean that ::: 't//it could b//be used @ rehabilitation o' other types o' patients

'the project , is still in progress , & ,

'the following have been incorporated :::

- 'the new technology partners , such as ::: t'//the//ye Biomedical-Engineering-and-Telemedicine-Center (---GBT---) o'//of Technical-University-of-Madrid

- ye knowledge @ field-of-neuroSciences , provided by Catalan-Institute-of-Aging (---FICE---)

- UAB , Autonomous-University-of-Barcelona//Universitat-Autònoma-de-Barcelona , in form o' Cognitive-Neuroscience-Research-Group

- ye recognition & drive o' ICT-industries , represented by ICA & Vodafone , as result o' a grant 4//for research-&-development-&-innovation , which was awarded , through program o' AVANZA
