In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes lifelong disability. Children with TBI often have difficulties in attention regulation and executive functions affecting their daily living. Need for rehabilitation is often long-lasting and there is an increasing demand for timely, cost-effective, and feasible rehabilitation methods, where the training is targeted to support daily life functional capacity. The use of Virtual Reality (VR) in the rehabilitation of children with attention and executive function deficits offers opportunities to practice skills required in everyday life in environments emulating real-life situations. The aim of this research project is to develop a novel effective VR rehabilitation method for children with deficits in attention, activity control, and executive functions by using a virtual environment that corresponds to typical everyday life.
