Course Description
Virtual reality is transforming concussion rehabilitation, but success depends on informed clinical application. Post-concussion patients present complex oculomotor and vestibular challenges that traditional methods struggle to address systematically. This course provides clinicians with a critical framework for evaluating VR applications, distinguishing therapeutic benefit from technological novelty. You'll gain practical tools for patient selection, understanding cybersickness barriers, and recognizing when immersive environments enhance recovery versus creating system overload. Learn to leverage controlled, measurable VR protocols that complement evidence-based concussion care. Master the neurological rationale behind VR interventions and develop clinical judgment for optimal patient matching. Transform your approach to post-concussion rehabilitation through thoughtful technology integration.
What you’ll learn:
• Evaluate VR applications using evidence-based clinical criteria for concussion rehabilitation
• Identify patient selection criteria and contraindications for VR-based interventions
• Recognize cybersickness symptoms and their impact on therapeutic tolerance and outcomes
• Distinguish therapeutic challenge from harmful system overload in VR protocols
• Apply practical frameworks for implementing VR technology in concussion care settings
More About This Course
Virtual reality technology is rapidly emerging as a rehabilitation tool for post-concussion care, offering immersive environments that can challenge oculomotor and vestibular systems in controlled, measurable ways. However, the clinical effectiveness of VR concussion rehabilitation depends entirely on informed implementation and appropriate patient selection.
This comprehensive course examines the current evidence surrounding virtual reality applications in concussion recovery, providing clinicians with a practical framework for evaluation and implementation. Drawing from oculomotor rehabilitation research, cybersickness studies, and emerging clinical data, the curriculum addresses both the therapeutic potential and practical limitations of VR-based interventions.
The course is designed for functional neurology practitioners, rehabilitation specialists, and clinicians managing post-concussion patients who seek evidence-based guidance on integrating VR technology into their practice. Whether you're considering VR implementation or looking to optimize existing protocols, this training provides essential clinical decision-making tools.
Led by researcher Melissa Biscardi, this Carrick Institute course delivers authoritative content that balances technological innovation with clinical pragmatism, ensuring participants can distinguish between therapeutic value and technological hype in concussion rehabilitation approaches.
