At MEDICATradeFair, NewsMedical spoke with Kiki Coppelmans from corpusvr about their virtual reality platform that offers innovative rehabilitative therapy solutions: VR VirtualReality rehabilitation physiotherapy
Interview conducted by Skyla BailyDec 19 2022 insights from industryKiki CoppelmansCSO / Co-Founder and Psychosomatic Physical TherapistCorpus VR
We built Corpus VR, in which we can visualize the range of motion of the patient and the therapist can alter it. The patient isn't fully aware of it as they are in a game-like environment. This means we can evoke more movement whilst also offering them feedback and encouragement that they can do more. This proves to be really motivating and gives them the self-esteem and confidence back that they can do more than they think.
What are the problems with traditional physical therapy that virtual reality can overcome? The main issue is resolving both the body and mind part. If you only treat complaints on the physical level, then you're not always going to solve the problem with your patient. When under a lot of pain, some people experience negative thoughts and stress that creates a feedback loop between pain, dizziness, and fatigue. We encourage patients to get into a positive mindset.
Would you say there has been a reluctance to adopt new technologies into rehabilitation? Most therapists are conservative in their approach. They know what they need to do, and they're comfortable with it. It's all about a willingness to change. If we expect the patients to change their habits to get better quicker, we also need to do the same as therapists.
