Particularly encouraging are the many uses of VR in supporting the recovery of motor skills following accident or illness. Virtual Reality for Physical and Motor Rehabilitation reviews two decades of progress and anticipates advances to come. It offers current research on the capacity of VR to evaluate, address, and reduce motor skill limitations, and the use of VR to support motor and sensorimotor function, from the most basic to the most sophisticated skill levels. Expert scientists and clinicians explain how the brain organizes motor behavior, relate therapeutic objectives to client goals, and differentiate among VR platforms in engaging the production of movement and balance. On the practical side, contributors demonstrate that VR complements existing therapies across various conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic brain injury, and stroke. Included among the topics: Neuroplasticity and virtual reality. Vision and perception in virtual reality. Sensorimotor recalibration in virtual environments. Rehabilitative applications using VR for residual impairments following stroke. VR reveals mechanisms of balance and locomotor impairments. Applications of VR technologies for childhood disabilities.  A resource of great immediate and future utility, Virtual Reality for Physical and Motor Rehabilitation distills a dynamic field to aid the work of neuropsychologists, rehabilitation specialists (including physical, speech, vocational, and occupational therapists), and neurologists.Virtual Reality Technologies for Health and Clinical Applications,2199-4684RehabilitationNeuropsychologyApplication softwarePhysiotherapyHealth psychologyOccupational therapyRehabilitationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H55006Neuropsychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12030Computer Appl. in Social and Behavioral Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I23028Physiotherapyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H78000Health Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12020Occupational Therapyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H77000Rehabilitation.Neuropsychology.Application software.Physiotherapy.Health psychology.Occupational therapy.Rehabilitation.Neuropsychology.Computer Appl. in Social and Behavioral Sciences.Physiotherapy.Health Psychology.Occupational Therapy.616.8046Weiss Patrice L.
