VRRS (Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System) is an integrated system that permits the interaction in “real-time” of many pre-constructed and personalised virtual scenes. This unique system represents the work developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where the application is based on the motor learning through the “Augumented Feedback”.

The “feedback” represents both specific information that usually helps the learning of new motor capabilities of the Central Nervous System, as well as perfecting movements already acquired. The modifications of this information for advancing and increasing motor learning forms the “Augumented Feedback”. The notability of VRRS lies in the help given from the “Augumented Feedback”, in allowing the therapist to personalise the virtual environment in which the patient acts.

VRRS allows the subject to view in “real-time” the correct movement that is ideal to follow. Consequently, the patient learns to correct the appropriate motor performance and to adjust the movement to achieve the optimum (pre-recorded by the therapist). VRRS is suitable for the treatment of motor deficits which can be neurological and orthopedic in nature.
