- Original description
Intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often co-occurring neurodevelopmental disorders that require composite intervention. However, standardized rehabilitation programs presented several limitations due to behavioral problems and poor engagement in proposed activity. The Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS) is a medical device is recognized as one of the most advanced systems to rehabilitate patients with motor, cognitive, linguistic and behavioral disorders. The use of VRRS offers the opportunity to adapting task parameters according to the patient's performance and the virtual system increases engagement and avoids boredom and frustration. the patients underwent a two months experimental intervention integrated into the regular activity of a semi-residential center for autistic adolescents and young adults.Read full original descriptionShow less
Feasibility and Usability of a Virtual Reality System to Improve Standardized Rehabilitation in Patients With Moderate Intellectual Disability and Severe Autism Spectrum Disorder
Intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often co-occurring neurodevelopmental disorders that require composite intervention. However, standardized rehabilitation programs presented several limitations due to behavioral problems and poor engagement in proposed activity. The Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS) is a medical device is recognized as one of the most advanced systems to rehabilitate patients with motor, cognitive, linguistic and behavioral disorders. The use of VRRS offers the opportunity to adapting task parameters according to the patient's performance and the virtual system increases engagement and avoids boredom and frustration. the patients underwent a two months experimental intervention integrated into the regular activity of a semi-residential center for autistic adolescents and young adults.
Inclusion: subjects diagnosed with ASD and ID, according to the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5); age between 6 and 40 years; cognitive level ≤75 Intellectual Quotient; signed informed consent.
Exclusion: subjects without diagnosis of ASD and ID, according to the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5); age not between 6 and 40 years; cognitive level >75 Intellectual Quotient; unsigned informed consent.
