Technology is constantly progressing and the world we live in changes daily. How we interact and integrate technology into our lives will never stay consistent. As clinicians, we must welcome technology into our diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitative protocols. We must be on the forefront of thinking; how can be best serve our patients? A recent movement in vestibular rehabilitation is incorporating novel activities in our treatment and rehabilitation plans. Virtual reality and exergaming, exercising through the use of video games, are being explored as new alternatives to traditional rehabilitation methods. As research emerges as to the benefit these new methods, we as clinicians must analyze and determine if these synergistic efforts are …show more content…

Post-intervention measures of the TUG test showed no statistically significant inter-group (p = 0.10) or intra-group (p = 0.02) differences between pre-and post-intervention for the exercise group (Nilsagård et. al., 2012). It was reported though that participants in the exercise group found the games stimulating and easy, making them want to exercise. Also, Nilsagård and her associates noted that the participants in the non-exercise group were more physically active than the exercise group, therefore the reason for the insignificant findings may be related to …show more content…

Embracing technology can enhance our current methods and possible transcend our current VR limitations. For example, we can use the Wii as an at home exercise to supplement VR exercises completed with a PT or audiologist. Also as Nilsagård and her associates stated, the individuals were more likely to exercise because they found the exergaming to be enjoyable. If further research is preformed and more evidence is shown as to how beneficial these programs are to patient’s I believe more clinicians would be more likely to include exergaming into VR programs. As for now I believe that exergaming should be provided as fun supplemental VR exercises that patients can perform to further their current VR

The authors of the article “A Motion-Sensing Game-Based Therapy to Foster the Learning of Children with Sensory Integration Dysfunction” went about studying the responses of children with SID (Sensory Integration Dysfunction) to digital game therapy. Until this point, the form of therapy that is used to treat children with SID is Sensory Integration Therapy, or SIT, which is a game based therapy that guides children in learning how to make adaptive responses through playing games. The games are based around tactile tools like hammocks, ropes, and balls. Unfortunately, children can become bored with repeated use of the same games and environment, and consequently their focus is lost. In order to remedy this, the authors of this study set out to test Motion-Sensing Digital Game-Based Sensory

When it comes to Virtual Reality (VR), people will easily think about VR games. However, have you ever thought that VR can be a tool to solve psychological problems ? In fact, more and more psychologists find it is a feasible and effective method to use VR to treat Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Post-traumatic Stress Disorder is a kind of mental disorder that can develop after a person is exposed to a traumatic event, such as sexual assault, warfare, traffic collisions, or other threats on a person's life (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).

In 2003, as the futurist Ray Kurzweil predicted, somewhat hyperbolically, “By the 2030s, virtual reality will be totally realistic and compelling and we will spend most of our time in virtual environments ... We will all become virtual humans.” In theory, such escapism is nothing new—as critics of increased TV, Internet, and smartphone usage will tell you—but as Virtual Reality technology continues to blossom, the worlds that they generate will become increasingly realistic, as Kurzweil explained, creating a greater potential for overuse. This technological paradigm shift brings a level of immersion unlike any that has come before it, and the handwringing has already begun. Early doomsday predictions aside, we have a million-dollar question i.e. can virtual escapism can ever be used for good?
