Orthopedics and Sports Medicine
Prevention, Rehabilitation and Re-athletisation are the essential phases in the care of the athlete.
The aim of prevention is to avoid injury to the athlete, by offering
muscle-strengthening exercises, both analytical and global (functional), with a progression adapted to each athlete and in real time, for example with [ReflexVR] and [SkiVR] exercises.
In the case of an injured athlete, virtual reality re-education will provide complementary exercises that will enable faster and longer-lasting recovery: avoid chronic pain due to injury, reduce pain, recover joint amplitude, strengthen muscles, work on balance... all with fun, immersive and clinically effective tools, for example with the exercises [SquatVR], [Target Tracking] or [Center of Pressure Pursuit CDP]. Finally, reathletization during and after the rehabilitation phase, with exercises and protocols tailored to the sport and level of the athlete: [Optical Flow], [BirdVR] and [ Protocol Platform].
Push the experience to the max with the Dynamic Posturography and Rehabilitation Platform, MotionVR: programmed or random controlled destabilizations, adjustable axis by axis.
- Sprains
- Ligamentoplasties
- Anterior cruciate ligament
- Tendinopathies
- Menisectomies
- Fractures
And concretely, How's it going?
Let's take the example of a 25-year-old ACL patient who underwent ACL surgery with DIDT.
The treatment by the physiotherapist for this type of pathology could be:
- Treatment before D21: work on muscular siderations thanks to open chain reflexes with exercise [ReflexVR].
- Assessment at D21: Initial evaluation of proprioception quantified in only 3 min thanks to the equilibrium assessment [CTSIB] of the distribution of supports and the centre of gravity. This assessment should be repeated regularly during the treatment.
- According to the surgeon's recommendations, passive mobilization under load and random destabilization can be worked on early and safely with the "Motion Program" module: control of working axes, amplitudes and speeds!
- Work on controlled or reflex loading and proprioception through the exercises [CDP Pursuit], [Optical Flow], [SkiVR] and [BirdVR].
- Strengthening with or without loads/elastics in co-contraction of the quadriceps/hamstrings with the exercises [SquatVR] and [SpineVR].

Go further with MotionVR ...
The Dynamic Posturography and Rehabilitation platform, MotionVR, allows you to work by setting the limits of amplitude and speed axis by axis, for an earlier recovery of the proprioception in complete safety and therefore with a saving of overall rehabilitation time. This work can be carried out for example with the exercises [SkiVR ] [BirdVR], [Motion Program] and [Walk VR ] (walking in rough terrain).
