Virtual environments and sensory integration: Effects of aging and stroke
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research was carried out on the effects of aging and sensory motor defi cits following strokes with respect to the capacity of the central nervous system to resolve sensory confl icts created by Virtual Reality (VR). The results of this research demonstrate that VR can be a valuable tool for therapeutic interventions that require an adaptation to complex, multimodal environments. The rehabilitation protocols include balancing training in virtual environments.

Effects of different virtual reality environments on experimental pain threshold in individuals with pain following stroke
The objectives of this study were to determine whether different virtual reality environments (VR) had a differential effect on pain threshold (PT) in stroke patients with pain, and whether the patient’s level of interest in the VR influenced PT. Ten stroke individuals with pain participated. PT to hot and cold stimuli was determined using Quantitative sensory testing within four different VEs;...
متن کاملEffect of Hypothermia by JZL-184 on Muscle Strength and Sensory-Motor Dysfunction in Permanent Middle Cerebral Artery Ischemia Model in Male Mice
Introduction: Currently, there is no effective and comprehensive treatment for ischemic stroke. There is strong clinical evidence for the benefits of hypothermia in neuroprotection. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effect of mild non-invasive hypothermia by JZL-184 on behavioral improvement in stroke rats. Methods: This study was performed on 5 groups of male mice weighing 2...
متن کاملEffects of Early Family-centered Sensory Stimulation on Disability and Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients
Background and purpose: Stroke is the most common and debilitating neurologic lesion in adults. Early family-centered stimulation have positive outcomes in stroke patients. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of early family-centered sensory stimulation on restoring function and recognition in stroke patients. Materials and methods: A clinical trial was done in 60 patients...
متن کاملEffect of a Structured Sensory Stimulation Program on the Sensory Function of Patients with Stroke-induced Disorder of Consciousness
Background: About 50% of stroke patients suffer from the disorder of consciousness with such adverse effects as sensory deprivation. The provision of a care program consisting of simple and safe stimulations can prevent sensory deprivation and improve the patient’s sensory function. Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of structured sensory stimulation program on the sensory function o...
متن کاملSensory Integration and Autistic Spectrum Disorder
The theory and practice of sensory integration were developed in the late 1960s by an occupational therapist and psychologist, Dr. A. Jean Ayres [1]. Also, known as sensory processing, it is “the neurological process that organizes sensation from one’s own body and from the environment and makes it possible to use the body effectively within the environment” [1].
