Project Narrative:

Virtual reality brings subjective feeling of being present in a simulated environment. It can increase motivation to repeat a trained function, which corresponds with the main Principle of Use-Dependent Neuroplasticity. We are convinced that virtual reality also has potential to facilitate movement, but this should be verified.

Purpose

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of specially developed therapeutic program that combines the virtual environment enhancing with the facilitation therapy.

Requirements for student applicants:
