REAL ® Virtual Reality System

REAL® Virtual Reality (VR) System Physical Therapy can be Fun and Engaging!

Howard Physical Therapy is advancing rehabilitation techniques with technology. The REAL® Virtual Reality (VR) System has been added to our list of advanced services. Through the use of a visual headset, and motion sensors, patients become immersed in a “virtual” world that is fun, challenging, and engaging.

The REAL® Virtual Reality system integrates state-of-the-art technology into the rehabilitation process. Repetitive movements are designed to improve mobility, balance, strength, and coordination. Because the experience is more engaging, patients are more compliant with their therapy leading to better patient outcomes. In addition, the ability to measure performance serves as an incentive for patients while also demonstrating improvement to physicians and insurance companies.

Brings Clarity to the Patient’s Rehab Journey.

VR’s outcomes are easier for patients to quantify in comparison to traditional physical therapy. Feedback is immediate! Patients actually see their progress in real-time.

Motivates Patients to Move Longer.

Virtual Reality (VR) applications have emerged as a non-pharmacological alternative, or distraction therapy, for both acute and chronic pain. In contrast to conventional therapy, where patients frequently become sidetracked by their symptoms, the distractive nature of VR sensory stimulation keeps patients engaged in their activity. This distraction allows them to perform tasks that are progressively more difficult, and to perform these tasks for increasing periods of time.

  • Chronic Back Pain
  • Chronic Neck Pain
  • Cognitive Impairment
  • Concussion/TBI Rehab
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
