Otro nuevo artículo sobre rehabilitación infantil utilizando realidad virtual de la revista DEVELOPMENTAL NEUROREHABILITATION [1363-8491] que hasta el 2006 se llamaba Pediatric Rehabilitation y que está escrita en asociación con la World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation (WFNR)
Los responsables trabajan en la School of Phychology de la University of East London.

La preocupación principal de los autores es la motivación para la rehabilitación en niños con traumatismo craneoencefálico y con bajo nivel de colaboración.

Este es el link al School of Psychology Virtual Reality Research Team de esta universidad donde describen sus líneas de investigación.

No sé mucho más de este grupo, lo siento.

Esto es lo que nos dicen que les interesa para investigación, y muchas cosas son interesantes para la rehabiltación.

Research Interests

We have already performed or collaborated in research investigating the following uses of VR in brain damage assessment and rehabilitation and in occupational training of people with learning disabilities:

• Cognitive assessment and retraining of attention, memory and spatial skills
• Assessment and training of motor skills
• Occupational training
• Training powered wheelchair use

We are currently undertaking or collaborating in research using VR to:

• Assess the driving ability of patients following vascular or traumatic brain injury
• Train manual wheelchair use
• Assess the prospective memory ability (capacity to remember to perform future actions) of vascular brain injury patients
• Create standardised and validated psychometric assessments of rule breaking, strategy formation and prospective memory ability
• Assess egocentric and allocentric spatial memory using functional magnetic resonance imaging
• Develop an interactive multimedia package for training people with learning disabilities for employment in an office environment
• Profiling cognitive difficulties in patients with Dysexecutive syndrome
