ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Inclusive Rehabilitation," is exploring how virtual reality (VR) can help improve the quality of life for people who depend on others for assistance. The goal is to use VR to create engaging and personalized experiences that can aid in physical and mental rehabilitation. By practicing movements in a safe and fun environment, participants can work on improving their strength, coordination, and even reduce feelings of anxiety. The project is led by the El Saliente Association and the University of Almeria, aiming to make rehabilitation more effective and enjoyable than traditional therapies.

To take part in this trial, individuals must be over 18 years old and willing to sign a consent form. However, those with severe visual impairments, vertigo, epilepsy, or psychosis will not be eligible to ensure their safety during the VR activities. Participants can expect to engage in VR sessions that simulate everyday situations, which may help them gain new skills and boost their confidence. The researchers will collect data throughout the study to measure how well the VR approach works, with hopes of sharing their findings in future scientific discussions and applying this innovative method in other settings.
