Modèles internes de verticalité : neuromodulation par la marche en suspension et l’immersion en réalité virtuelle inclinée ? - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucli.2016.09.087

La recherche de techniques de modulation du sens de verticalité est un challenge important pour la rééducation des troubles de l’équilibre associés à une latéropulsion ou une rétropulsion (AVC, Parkinson, etc.). Dans cette étude pilote chez des sujets sains, nous avons testé deux techniques susceptibles de moduler le sens de verticalité : l’immersion en pièce virtuelle inclinée (information visuelle) et la marche en suspension (information somesthésique).

Effects of Virtual Reality versus Exercise on Pain, Functional, Somatosensory and Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients with Non-specific Chronic Neck Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Active Cervical Range of Movement
To assess the active cervical range of movement (CROM) the CROM device (Performance Attainment Associates, Lindstrom, MN, USA) was used, which is composed of two goniometers that allow measuring the range of motion in the different planes of movement [39]. Each movement is recorded three times with a pause in between, and the average of the three is used for the statistical analysis [40].

Towards defining biomarkers to evaluate concussions using virtual reality and a moving platform (BioVRSea)

Current diagnosis of concussion relies on self-reported symptoms and medical records rather than objective biomarkers. This work uses a novel measurement setup called BioVRSea to quantify concussion status. The paradigm is based on brain and muscle signals (EEG, EMG), heart rate and center of pressure (CoP) measurements during a postural control task triggered by a moving platform and a virtual reality environment. Measurements were performed on 54 professional athletes who self-reported their history of concussion or…

Predicting postural control adaptation measuring EEG, EMG, and center of pressure changes: BioVRSea paradigm

Introduction: Postural control is a sensorimotor mechanism that can reveal neurophysiological disorder. The present work studies the quantitative response to a complex postural control task.
Methods: We measure electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and center of pressure (CoP) signals during a virtual reality (VR) experience called BioVRSea with the aim of classifying different postural control responses. The BioVRSea paradigm is based on six different phases where motion and visual stimulation are modulated throughout the experiment, inducing subjects to a different adaptive postural control strategy. The goal of the study is to assess …

Motion sickness susceptibility and visually induced motion sickness as diagnostic signs in Parkinson’s disease (2022)

Postural instability and loss of vestibular and somatosensory acuity are among the signs encountered in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Visual dependency is described in PD. These modifications of sensory input hierarchy are predictors of motion sickness (MS). The aim of this study was to assess MS susceptibility and the effects of real induced MS in posture. Sixtythree PD patients, whose medication levels (levodopa) reflected the severity of the pathology were evaluated, and 27 healthy controls, filled a MS questionnaire; 11 PD patients and 41 healthy controls were assessed by posturography using virtual reality…

Postural control paradigm (BioVRSea): towards a neurophysiological signature (2022)

Objective. To define a new neurophysiological signaturefrom electroencephalography (EEG) during a complex postural control task using the BioVRSea paradigm, consisting of virtual reality (VR) and amoving platform, mimicking the behavior of a boat on the sea.Approach. EEG(64 electrodes) datafrom 190 healthy subjectswere acquired. The experiment is composed of 6 segments(Baseline, PRE, 25%, 50%, 75%, POST). The baseline lasts 60 s while standing on the motionless platformwith amountain view in the VR goggles…

Rééducation à la phase chronique de l’AVC de l’adulte : pertinence, indications et modalités

La rééducation motrice de l’AVC est définie comme l’application de méthodes thérapeutiques pratiquées manuellement ou à l’aide d’instruments dont l’objet est la prévention secondaire, la conservation, le rétablissement, l’optimisation ou la suppléance des troubles de la fonction motrice consécutifs à un accident vasculaire cérébral avéré. D’autres méthodes utilisent des technologies spécifiques, informatiques ou électromécaniques, telles la réalité virtuelle, la marche sur tapis roulant, etc.

Immersive virtual reality for shoulder rehabilitation: evaluation of a physical therapy program executed with oculus quest 2

Virtual Reality (VR) systems have been increasingly used across several medical fields. A crucial preliminary step for developing optimized VR-based applications for rehabilitation purposes is identifying potential interventions to meet the requirements necessary to satisfy end-users’ needs. This study aims to assess the acceptability, usability, and appropriateness of a VR physical therapy program executed with Oculus Quest 2 by expert physiotherapists of shoulder musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

Use of Virtual Reality in Physical Therapy as an Intervention and Diagnostic Tool

Within the past decade, the integration of computer-generated virtual realities (VRs) has witnessed a significant rise in the field of healthcare, particularly in diagnosis and treatment applications. These VR systems have found extensive use in physical therapy, rehabilitation, research, and assessment. This narrative review article is aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of the literature regarding the implementation of VR in the physical therapy profession. The primary objective of this review is to provide information to clinicians about the diverse applications of VR and its potential advantages in intervening across various patient populations and diagnoses during rehabilitation therapy. Through in-depth discussions with experts and a thorough review of pertinent literature, several significant aspects of the topic were identified. Subsequently, we carried out an online search to investigate the prevalent utilization of VR systems within healthcare, both as assessment tools and for therapeutic interventions. Our examination encompassed a total of 56 articles, with supplementary references incorporated as required.

Toward Predicting Motion Sickness Using Virtual Reality and a Moving Platform Assessing Brain, Muscles, and Heart Signals. Front. Bioeng. Biotechnol. 9:635661. doi: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.635661

Many theories explaining a probable cause for MS have been proposed but the most prominent is the sensory conflict theory, stating that a mismatch between vestibular and visual signals causes MS. Few measurements have been made to understand and quantify the interplay between muscle activation, brain activity, and heart behavior during this condition. We introduce here a novel multimetric system called BioVRSea based on virtual reality (VR), a mechanical platform and several biomedical sensors to study the physiology associated with MS and seasickness…
