Virtual reality therapy for psychomotor disadaptation syndrome
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if virtual reality exercises can help improve balance and movement in people with psychomotor disadaptation syndrome, a condition that often affects older adults and increases risk of falls. If you have trouble with balance and are able to stand on your own, this therapy might be a safe way to train your body and brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a condition called psychomotor disadaptation syndrome (PMDS), which affects movement and balance
- You can stand up without help from another person or a device
- You have a certain level of fear of falling (based on a short questionnaire)
- Your balance on a simple reach test is below a certain range
- You do not have any condition that makes virtual reality uncomfortable or unsafe, like severe dizziness or certain brain disorders
