Virtual Reality Rehabilitation: veteran is undergoing rehabilitation process
“Virtual reality rehabilitation has shown significant effectiveness in patient treatment. By immersing patients in diverse environments, the VRNow trainer engages both the mind and body, enhancing the efficiency of each session. This level of immersion is key to accelerated and effective recovery.”
Vadym Kerestey, Associate Professor at Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University, Head of Rehabilitation at ADONIS Clinic.
Angels for Ukraine developed a project to support ten rehabilitation facilities based on hospitals and other medical institutions with VRNow Trainer. One VRNow Trainer costs 31,000 USD, so the total budget for the project is 310,000 USD. This amount includes regular maintenance of the equipment, software updates, and 24/7 technical support from the producer.
