A virtual reality

During the visit, there was a demonstration of two innovative technologies recently introduced at the clinic. The first is cognitive rehabilitation through virtual reality, intended for patients with dementia who have difficulties with executive functions. This method allows patients to perform basic tasks such as cooking, washing, placing items and understanding orders using virtual reality glasses that simulate different home scenarios such as the kitchen, living room and garden. The results were very positive, especially in patients with stroke and dementia in initial states.

The second method is stimulation and rehabilitation using computerized systems using a computer program. Neuron up. This method focuses on cognitive stimulation of functions such as speech, attention, reading, writing, executive functions and memory. Large touchscreen computers are used to make it easier for older people to use, allowing for detailed error analysis and the preparation of customized programs, as well as the submission of homework assignments. Thus, they prepare a weekly program so that users can continue their rehabilitation without leaving home.
