health-care researchers have decided to join their efforts in a multidisciplinary project named VETERAN -Virtual Environments in the diagnosis, prevention and intervention of age-related diseases. The main goal of the VETERAN project is the tuning and testing of different virtual environments, to be used in the diagnosis, prevention and intervention of different age-related diseases. In particular the developed modules will address the following pathologies that have a strong impact on the elderly health care policy: Alzheimer's disease and other senile dementias; stroke and unilateral spatial neglect; mobility-related accidents within specific environments (e.g. falls, shocks). The project will focus on research into clinical aspects of age-related diseases and disorders of high morbidity with significant prospects of prevention, treatment or delay in onset. The final goal of the VETERAN project is the definition of new protocols and tools to be used in rehabilitation. The developed tools will be able to provide systematic restorative training within the context of functionally relevant, ecologically valid simulated environments. This will optimize the degree of transfer of training and/or generalization of learning to the person's real world environment.","publication_date":"1999,,","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":"49425815"},"document_type":"paper","pre_hit_view_count_baseline":null,"quality":"high","language":"en","title":"Virtual

ds2-5-body-sm">There is a pressing demand for improving the quality and efficacy of health care and social support services needed by the world’s growing elderly population, especially by those affected by mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-type early-stage dementia. Meeting that demand can significantly benefit from the deployment of innovative, computer-based applications capable of addressing specific needs, particularly in the area of cognitive impairment mitigation and rehabilitation. In that context, we present here our perspective viewpoint on the use of virtual reality (VR) tools for cognitive rehabilitation training, intended to assist medical personnel, health care workers, and other caregivers in improving the quality of daily life activities of people with MCI and AD. We discuss some effective design criteria and developmental strategies and suggest some possibly useful protocols and procedures.

disabilities age, progressive declines in health and medical status can challenge the adaptive resources required to maintain functional independence and quality of life [1]. These challenges are further compounded by economic factors, medication side effects, loss of a spouse or caregiver, and psychosocial disorders [1-2]. With the gradual loss of functional independence and increased reliance on others for transportation, access to general medical and rehabilitation care can be jeopardized [2]. The combination of these factors when seen in the context of the average increase in lifespan in industrialized societies has lead to a growing crisis that is truly global in proportion. While research indicates that functional motor capacity can be improved, maintained, or recovered via consistent participation in a motor exercise and rehabilitation regimen [3], independent adherence to such preventative and/or rehabilitative programming outside the clinic setting is notori...</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Virtual reality applications for addressing the needs of those aging with disability","attachmentId":42312622,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/17131505/Virtual_reality_applications_for_addressing_the_needs_of_those_aging_with_disability","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/17131505/Virtual_reality_applications_for_addressing_the_needs_of_those_aging_with_disability"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="6" data-entity-id="91290139" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/91290139/Dementia_I_Am_Physically_Fading_Can_Virtual_Reality_Help_Physical_Training_for_People_with_Dementia_in_Confined_Mental_Health_Units">Dementia: I Am Physically Fading.

VR can be used as an enhancement to conventional therapy for patients with conditions ranging from musculoskeletal problems, to stroke-induced paralysis, to cognitive deficits. This approach is called &quot;VR-augmented rehabilitation.&quot; Alternately, VR can replace conventional interventions altogether, in which case the rehabilitation is &quot;VR-based.&quot; If the intervention is done at a distance, then it is called &quot;telerehabilitation.&quot; Simulation exercises for post-stroke patients have been developed using a &quot;teacher object&quot; approach or a video game approach. Simulations for musculo-skeletal patients use virtual replicas of rehabilitation devices (such as rubber ball, power putty, peg board).

Fully immersive virtual reality (VR) solutions are acknowledged to viably enhance the overall effectiveness of traditional physiotherapeutic methods. A total of 60 community-dwelling older adults (over 75 years of age) were recruited for the study protocol. They were subsequently randomly split into four equally sized study groups (VR, CVR, OCULUS, and the classic programme group (OTAGO), and the physiotherapy sessions were pursued in the subjects’ homes for 3 weeks, 3 times a week, for 30 min in each group. At the first measurement point, respective study groups differed significantly in functional performance, as expressed in gait (POMA G) and individual static balance. The post hoc analysis indicated significantly higher scores in POMA G for the classic programme group vs. the results of the VR and CVR groups.
