Paper Abstract:
|
This paper provides a brief introduction to rehabilitation in Portugal and presents some challenges posed by cognitive
rehabilitation, especially in the case of acquired brain injury. Its purpose is to develop and investigate the effects of
Virtual Reality in the rehabilitation of Disexecutive Syndrome. The authors describe the architecture of the VR Program
under development and of a speech-enabled interface between patients and the program. Previous work analyzing
patients experience with this technology shows promising results, which makes the search for new solutions contributing
to the improvement of effectiveness in this domain imperative. |
