SALT LAKE CITY 鈥 亚洲自慰视频 of Utah 亚洲自慰视频鈥檚 Rehabilitation 亚洲自慰视频 recently began utilizing a cutting-edge device intended to help patients with a neurological disease or injury regain the visual and motor skills necessary for driving and other day-to-day functions.
The Dynavision D2 is a visual and motor system treatment tool for patients with cognitive and motor deficits, visual impairments, and attention disorders. U of U 亚洲自慰视频 is the only facility in the region to offer the Dynavision as an aid to recovery for individuals on both an inpatient and outpatient basis, which allows use of this system across the entire continuum of care. The Dynavision is part of a comprehensive therapy regimen uniquely designed for each patient by expert physicians and therapists.
鈥淭he Dynavision technology is more hands-on and relatable to a real-life activity; a more stimulating type of therapy as opposed to those based on paper and pencil meant to focus on the same impairments,鈥 says Marc Rosello, occupational therapist for U of U 亚洲自慰视频 Care鈥檚 Rehabilitation 亚洲自慰视频. 鈥淚t鈥檚 very motivating for the patient to see the improvement, and sometimes they find that they鈥檙e competing with themselves to improve their own performance.鈥
Among its other uses, which include improving balance, attention, strength, range of motion, coordination, motor planning, and endurance, U of U 亚洲自慰视频's Rehabilitation 亚洲自慰视频 is using the Dynavision to assist during driver鈥檚 evaluation to assess a person鈥檚 ability to drive safely again. It is also used as part of therapy to regain the skills required for driving.
The device gives measurable information back to the patient and the therapist so they can see improvement and track progress. It also adjusts to the height or ability of the person if, for instance, the person is working from a wheel chair. Patients may also increase the speed, accuracy, and efficiency with which they are able to absorb visual information under a variety of cognitive demands.
The Dynavision D2 was first developed for athletes to improve reaction time and coordination. An occupational therapist who specializes in visual-perceptual dysfunction recognized its benefits for patients with cognitive and motor deficits, visual impairments, and attention disorders and worked with the company to adapt the device specifically to patients with compromised abilities in those areas.
