Virtual Reality Rehabilitation

Virtual Reality Rehabilitation 

The CAREN (Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment) 

The CAREN system enables patients with a disability to practise real-life situations in a safe and controlled environment, leading to improved physical stamina, better cognitive skills, dual tasking and improved confidence. 

CAREN puts people at the helm of a life-size video game and forces them to use atrophied muscles and teaches the basic skills necessary to recover quicker from a brain and spinal injuries and other disorders. 

The CAREN provides: 

  • Analysis of movement in real-time, providing immediate feedback to therapists and patient 
  • A software system named the human body model that computes body movement in real time in 300 muscle elements 
  • Exposure to environments that are physically challenging without putting patients in danger 
  • A system that mimics changes in terrain, encountered in the virtual environment, for example across the street or walking on uneven surfaces while in the safety of a harness.

To find out more the CAREN, including cost, please email [email protected] or call us on 0161 707 6441.
