Psychiatry 2019: Exploring ocular and head kinematics in an immersive virtual environment for post-stroke neurorehabilitation - University of Amsterdam
Author(s): Caroline Marilou de Booij*
In the Netherlands, about 43,000 people suffer a stroke each year, and more than 320,000 people have to cope with its consequences. Following a stroke, brain cells in the tissue surrounding the injury die, resulting in motor impairment and cognitive disabilities. Since current forms of rehabilitation are very tiring and repetitive for patients, novel effective rehabilitation approaches using serious gaming and virtual reality (VR) are being developed. With serious gaming, it is possible to study how people with cognitive disabilities, sometimes combined with ocular and/or motor deficits, observe their en.. View more»
