FROM THE SHOULDER TO THE FINE GRIP

Upper Limb Rehabilitation Exercises

Upper limb rehabilitation is essential to restore mobility, strength and coordination, especially after stroke, injuries such as fractures or orthopedic surgeries.

  • Joint mobility : Improvement of range of motion (shoulder, elbow, wrist complex).
  • Muscle strengthening : Resistance and strengthening of the arm muscles.
  • Gripping : The finesse of movements, such as grasping or manipulating virtual objects.
  • Coordination : Synchronization between the two arms or hand-eye coordination.
  • Quick reaction and reflex : Response time to visual stimuli.
  • Motor Control : Fluidity and control of movements.
  • Stamina : Ability to maintain repetitive or prolonged movements.
  • Proprioception : Perception of the position and movement of the upper limbs.

POSTURAL CONTROL AND PROPRIOCEPTION

Balance Rehabilitation Exercises

Our immersive environments allow us to work on patient stability in a fun way, static or dynamic, sitting or standing, 180 or 360°.

  • Transfer of support : Work on the movement of the weight of the body from one support to another, essential for walking and functional movements.
  • Postural control : Work on the ability to adjust posture to avoid falls, reacting to changes in the environment.
  • Proprioception : Improved perception of the body's position in space, essential for maintaining balance.
  • Motor coordination : Improved synchronization of movements between different parts of the body for better balance.
  • Trunk flexion : Reinforcement and control of core flexion to improve stability during upper body movements.
  • Self-confidence : Reduced fear of falling and improved confidence in one's ability to maintain balance in any situation.

FOR INNER EAR DISORDERS

Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises

Our vestibular exercises contain immersive scrolling environments to stimulate gaze stabilization and adaptation to sensory conflicts, while building tolerance to visual disturbances.

  • Management of sensory conflicts : Adaptation to situations where vestibular and visual information are in contradiction (e.g. visual movement without physical movement).
  • Static balance : Strengthening the posture of standing or sitting without imbalance movements, even in a virtually unstable environment.
  • Gaze stabilization (VOR - vestibulo-ocular reflex): Improvement in the ability to maintain stable vision during head movements.
  • Sensitivity to head movements : Training to tolerate rapid head movements without causing dizziness or disorientation.
  • Vestibular habituation : Repeated exposure to destabilizing stimuli to reduce feelings of dizziness and discomfort.

FOR CERVICAL MOBILITY

Cervical Spine Rehabilitation Exercises

Virtual reality helps to rehabilitate the cervical spine in the event of pathologies such as neck pain, improving mobility and reducing pain.

  • Cervical mobility : Work on the range of motion of the neck (flexion, extension, rotation, lateral tilt).
  • Cervical postural control : Work on the stability of the neck during body movements to avoid tension or pain.
  • Reduction of neck pain : Targeted exercises to reduce tension and pain in the cervical muscles.
  • Cervical proprioception : Improved perception of the position of the head and neck in space to better manage movement.
  • Muscle strengthening : Strengthening the neck muscles to improve postural support and prevent injury.

TRUNK AND LUMBAR

Thoracolumbar Spine Rehabilitation Exercises

The H’ability device allows for effective thoracolumbar rehabilitation, offering exercises that improve mobility, stability and coordination of the trunk while reducing back pain.

  • Thoracolumbar mobility : Improvement of the range of motion of the thoracic and lumbar spine (flexion, extension, lateral tilt, rotation).
  • Muscle strengthening : Work the paravertebral, abdominal and lumbar muscles to improve the support and protection of the thoracolumbar spine.
  • Trunk stability : Strengthening postural control and trunk stability to protect the spine during dynamic movements.
  • Reduction of back and lower back pain : Targeted exercises to relieve muscle tension and reduce chronic back pain.
  • Thoracolumbar proprioception : Development of the perception of the position of the back in space to better manage movements and prevent injuries.
  • Habituation to repetitive movements : Work on tolerance to repetitive movements of the trunk to improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.

FOR NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION

Cognitive Function Exercises

Our exercises stimulate attention, memory and mental flexibility in fictional environments or inspired by Activities of Daily Living.

  • Visual exploration (hemineglect): Improving visual search in neglected space.
  • Cognitive inhibition : Strengthening the ability to control impulses and avoid inappropriate automatic responses.
  • Mental flexibility : Training to adapt to changes in rules or situations in an interactive and changing environment.
  • Selective attention : Work on the ability to focus on a relevant piece of information or stimulus while filtering out distractions.
  • Planning and organization : Exercise of the ability to anticipate and organize a series of actions to achieve a goal in a simulated environment.
  • Working memory : Improved ability to retain and manipulate short-term information when performing a task in VR.

360° ESCAPE

Relaxation Exercises

Virtual reality offers an innovative solution for pain management during painful passive care or mobilization by diverting patients’ attention through immersive and soothing environments, thus reducing the perception of pain.

  • Cognitive distraction : Reduced pain perception by focusing attention on an immersive virtual environment.
  • Analgesic effect : Modulation of pain perception by neurophysiological mechanisms induced by VR immersion.
  • Reduced anxiety : Reduced stress related to painful treatments through calming environments.
  • Positive sensory stimulation : Enrichment of sensory stimuli to divert attention from painful sensations.
  • Relaxation : Soothing sessions before or after treatments to reduce stress and tension.
