Why Use Immersive Virtual Reality to Assess Gait in Functional Motor Disorders?

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Functional motor disorders (FMD) are disabling conditions modulated by attentional demands. Immersive virtual reality (iVR) engages multiple attentional and sensory networks, but its application in people with FMD (PwFMD) remains limited.

Characterizing human vestibular sensory epithelia for experimental studies: new hair bundles on old tissue and implications for therapeutic interventions in ageing. [PDF]

, 2015
Balance disequilibrium is a significant contributor to falls in the elderly. The most common cause of balance dysfunction is loss of sensory cells from the vestibular sensory epithelia of the inner ear.

Effect of a virtual walking and therapeutic exercise‐based intervention on gait and balance in people with incomplete spinal cord injury

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background People with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience sensory and motor impairments that often require exercise‐based treatments. However, these interventions are challenging due to limited active mobility. Novel rehabilitation approaches, such as those targeting the mirror neuron system, could offer additional benefits.
