VIRTUAL REHABILITATION SYSTEM OmniVR™ Virtual Rehabilitation System TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW The OmniVR™ is the first virtual rehabilitation system developed to accommodate the needs of medically complex patients, including aging adults. This easy-to-use technology uses an advanced 3D camera and specialized computer software to track the patient’s precise movements and allow them to interact in a virtual world. The system includes a variety of “skilled” exercise programs for physical, occupational and speech therapy applications. Research indicates that patients enjoy performing virtual exercises and activities, therefore motivating them to exercise harder and longer. As a result, virtual rehabilitation treatment outcomes can equal or even exceed those achieved with traditional therapeutic exercise alone. OmniVR™ System Highlights • An advanced 3D camera captures the patient’s movements automatically, and eliminates the need for hand controllers, mats or special platforms • Specialized computer software creates a “real-time” interactive environment providing positive feedback throughout the exercise session for increased patient motivation and repetitions • Offers six “skilled” exercise categories with multiple difficulty levels for balance, gait training, wheelchair mobility, seated exercises, upper extremity exercises and cognitive activities • Exercise protocols target large motor movements such as leaning, knee extension-flexion, reaching, sit to stand, squatting, stepping and marching • Adjustable parameters enable therapists to match the exercise difficulty and visual stimuli to each patient’s specific abilities • Can accommodate multiple patients for clinically sound Group Therapy that enhances social interaction and exercise activity • Printable “Performance Summary” is produced at the end of each exercise program for objective documentation of patient performance and progress

SKILLED THERAPY OPERATION The OmniVR™ is very easy-to-use and no technical computer skills are required for operation. The system turns on at the press of a button, and using a wireless mouse, therapists simply choose an activity from one of 6 different therapeutic exercise categories. The clinician has the option of adjusting system parameters to suit the patient’s individual physical capabilities and treatment plan. These settings may determine how far a patient must lean, reach, or step to accomplish certain goals or what obstacles they must avoid to optimize their performance in the...
