VR-based cognitive rehabilitation for children with traumatic brain injuries: Feasibility and safety.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose/objective

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of acquired disability in children, who are at risk of significant impairment in executive function (EF). Virtual reality technology provides a novel strategy to offer rich and immersive training content that is both appealing to children and of potential value in improving their daily functioning. The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of implementing an innovative VR-based interactive cognitive training (VICT) system for EF rehabilitation designed to meet the developmental and clinical needs of children with TBI.

Research method/design

A parallel-group random-block randomized controlled trial was conducted among 26 children 7-17 years with TBI, who completed baseline, postintervention
