Virtual functional tasks train sensory, cognitve and movement impairments

In the March edition of Clinical Rehabilitation http://bit.ly/hrDpIi , Dr. Makoto Hiyamizu and her group from Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Health Science, Kio University, Nara, Japan look at the effects of dual task balance training on dual task performance ability in elderly people. The group found that dual task balance training in elderly people improves their dual task performance during standing postural control.
The LegTutor and 3DTTutor allow the therapist to train sensory, cognitive and movement impairments and to motivate patients with challenging tasks that enable them to do intensive active exercise practice.
