What you'll learn

At the end of this course, the learner will be able to:

  1. You will be able to identify the principles of neuro rehab that undergird the delivery of virtual reality based rehabilitation.
  2. You will be able to recognize which outcomes are most likely to be impacted by VR-based stroke rehab (per the research.)

Course overview

Whether or not you are personally a fan of virtually reality-all OTs should be following the developing research on this technology. In this episode, we'll discuss an article where the authors explore the use of virtual reality (VR) systems that are built specifically for rehab versus general-use VR, like the Nintendo Wii and Xbox. The authors really focus on the active ingredients that seem to make VR-based rehab effective. And, they put forth the principles of neurorehab that underlie successful rehab. (They also specifically look at UE motor recovery after stroke, so this all feels so relevant to OT.) After we review the article, we'll welcome to the podcast our guest, Christopher Gaskins, MS, OTR/L, CSRS (and Neuroscience and Cognitive Science PhD Candidate) to talk about the research-and what it all means for your OT practice.
