Virtual Reality (VR) Rehabilitation

Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a groundbreaking innovation in the field of physical therapy and rehabilitation, as well as in various sectors. Our Robotic Rehabilitation Center, which is among the leading health centers in Turkey, takes treatment processes to a new dimension by using virtual reality technology.

What is Virtual Reality Rehabilitation in Physical Therapy?

Virtual reality rehabilitation is a computer-simulated treatment method in which patients, especially those with neurological or orthopedic-related balance disorders, interact with objects and events similar to the real world through images and sound.

How Can Virtual Reality Change Your Treatment Process?

While developing technology opens the door to revolutionary innovations in the field of health, we, as Robotic Rehabilitation Center, follow and implement these innovations closely. In this article, we will examine in depth virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation, a groundbreaking method in the field of physical therapy and rehabilitation, and discuss how it can transform your treatment.

Fundamentals of Virtual Reality Rehabilitation

When virtual reality is used in rehabilitative therapies, our patients perform a series of exercises and activities in specially designed virtual environments that are fully controllable. This virtual world, which they can experience without being bound by their physical limitations, can be good for them not only physically but also mentally. Interventions are tailored specifically to each patient's needs, creating a much more motivating environment. Thanks to virtual reality, patients have a mind-engaging experience that encourages them to actively participate, unlike boring and repetitive treatment processes.

What is the Purpose of Virtual Reality Rehabilitation in Physical Therapy?

Virtual reality rehabilitation includes games that allow patients to exercise and improve functionality in a safe and engaging way. For example, it is used in stroke rehabilitation to increase the repetition and frequency of movements performed during the session.

Virtual Reality and the Role of Motor Stimuli

The human brain and body constantly need motor stimuli to function healthily. In classical physical therapy methods, especially in cases that limit mobility, patients' motivation and therefore their participation in the treatment may decrease. In rehabilitation using virtual reality, the brain responds to these stimuli much more effectively, as motor stimuli are presented enriched with visual and auditory elements. This can help damaged nerves or muscle groups heal more quickly and effectively.

Individualized Treatment Planning

In our Robotic Rehabilitation Center, we analyze each patient's condition in detail and prepare treatment plans tailored to their specific needs. Virtual reality plays a big role in personalizing treatment processes. Taking into account the physical limitations experienced by patients, we carefully select the activities that they can perform in the virtual environment. In this way, we not only provide an improvement for the patient's current situation, but also strengthen them against the difficulties they may encounter in the future.

What are the Advantages of Virtual Reality?

• There are studies showing that virtual reality therapy improves balance and motor skills for children with cerebral palsy.
• Virtual reality application plays a role in reducing pain by distracting patients who are agitated due to their discomfort.
• It reduces the fear of movement and increases the person's participation in exercise by increasing their self-confidence.
• It reduces spasticity by increasing joint range of motion.
• It contributes to patients' balance development by weight transfers to the front, back, right and left with the virtual reality application.
• Virtual reality application; It improves upper extremity function, joint control and gait.

In which diseases is Virtual Reality Used in Physical Therapy?

• Stroke
• Cerebral palsy
• After knee surgeries
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Parkinson's
• Down Syndrome
• Spina Bifida
• Guillain Barre

Treatment Methods Our Center Combines with Virtual Reality

As Robotic Rehabilitation Center, we offer our patients a special rehabilitation experience by integrating virtual reality technology with different treatment methods. These methods include virtual reality-supported balance exercises, pain management programs, special treatment programs for muscle and joint disorders, and neurological rehabilitation applications.

The Experience of Treatments Performed with Virtual Reality

In the virtual reality-supported treatment processes offered at our Robotic Rehabilitation Center, patients make their treatments more effective and entertaining by stepping into a surreal world. For example; work in a virtual environmentTrying to bend or move virtual objects directly contributes to the development of real-world mobility. These Virtual Reality applications, which stimulate curiosity, increase the chance of patients to push their physical limits and adapt to their treatments faster. This process also helps patients relax psychologically by reducing the perception of pain. Virtual reality rehabilitation is the future of physical therapy and rehabilitation. As Robotic Rehabilitation Center, we are proud to state that we are at the forefront in this developing field. By integrating this innovative method into the treatment process, we enable patients to achieve better results in a short time, experience more comprehensive recovery, and make their treatment process more enjoyable. Virtual reality can radically transform your treatment process as a new way to overcome physical barriers and add a positive perspective to your healing journey. We invite you to our Robotic Rehabilitation Center to experience virtual reality rehabilitation and see how it can transform your treatment process, without adhering to traditional treatment methods. Use the unlimited opportunities offered by technology for your personal healing process and take an innovative step in your journey to regain your health.
