Enhancing Rehabilitation in Spinal Cord Injury Patients with Verity HealXR
Challenges.
Subjective Clinical Assessments
Inconsistent Clinical Decision Making
Limited Patient Engagement in Physical Rehab
BACKGROUND
Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to chronic pain and functional limitations, severely impacting patients' quality of life. Traditional pain management methods, such as medications and physical therapy, may not always be effective and can have undesirable side effects. Recently, virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a novel therapeutic tool, offering immersive experiences that can distract patients from pain and facilitate neurorehabilitation.

What healthcare professionals say about VerityHeal XR
Increased patient engagement
One of the most notable results was the substantial increase in patient engagement. The immersive VR environment captivated patients, making their therapy sessions more interactive and less like routine medical procedures. This was particularly effective for those undergoing long-term rehabilitation, who traditionally are more prone to disengagement and lower adherence to therapy regimens.
Enhanced patient satisfaction
Both patients and therapists reported a higher level of satisfaction with the therapy process. Patients enjoyed the gamified aspects of their rehabilitation, which transformed monotonous exercises into engaging activities. This increase in satisfaction was not just limited to the patients; physiotherapists also found their sessions more fulfilling as they observed quicker and more visible progress in their patients.
Accelerated rehabilitation rates
Patients in long-term rehabilitation programs showed faster recovery rates. This acceleration was attributed to increased exercise adherence due to the engaging nature of the VR therapy. The real-time feedback provided by Verity HealXR's technology allowed therapists to make immediate adjustments to the therapy regimen, further enhancing the effectiveness of each session.
Improved therapy efficiency
The integration of VR technology streamlined the therapy process. With Verity HealXR, physiotherapists were able to conduct more efficient sessions, spending less time on routine exercises and more on focused, personalized rehabilitation. This efficiency not only benefitted the patients but also allowed the hospital to optimize its resources better.
Data-Driven therapeutic Decisions
Verity HealXR’s real-time data analytics played a crucial role in therapy planning and execution. The ability to track patient progress with precise data enabled therapists to make informed decisions, tailoring treatments to each patient’s specific needs and adjusting tactics based on real-time feedback.
