Virtual reality (VR) therapy employs the latest real-time graphics and imaging technology to place patients in a computer-generated virtual world where they "experience" various visual and auditory stimuli related to their rehabilitative needs. We address three major aspects of rehabilitation considering the patient as a whole.
Cognitive rehabilitation, whereas visual stimuli and exercises in the virtual space are carried out in order to help people regain their cognitive faculties after a stroke or a series accident.
Psychological rehabilitation, designed to help overcome fear, various phobias and side affects associated with stress.
Physical rehabilitation designed to interact with virtual objects and carry out exercises in a virtual space.
The Cyber Care Clinique (CCC) model offers all the above modes in a single unit, i.e. it follows a service model where a hospital may create a single CCC unit and share its available resources across multiple departments of care and research instead of having each buy systems that can be used to treat only a one or a few disorders, as it has been the practice for long.
