About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Acquired Brain Injury focused on measuring Pediatric

Eligibility Criteria

8 Years - 18 Years (Child, Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • They are ALYN patients undergoing physiotherapy for mild to severe ABI;
  • They experience symptoms of vestibular function such as vertigo, postural instability, or impaired ocular motility;
  • They are between the ages of 8 and 18;
  • The time since injury/event is between 10 days and 1 year after the injury/event;
  • They are able to maintain stable and dynamic positioning of the head;
  • They able to walk with or without assistive equipment, or use a wheelchairs with no need for head support, defined by a LSS (level of sitting scale) score of 3 or greater (scale range: 1-8);
  • Are able to understand basic instructions;
  • Have sufficient visual acuity and visual field to identify and track mid-size objects on a screen.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Psychological, neurological or cognitive disorders which could impede participation, such as a history of epileptic seizures;
  • Untreated benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV);
  • Are in early post-operative stages (to avoid risk of bleeding or cerebrospinal fluid leak);
  • Hearing impairment.

Intervention Description
LibraVR is a standalone VR-based rehabilitation software for use in physiotherapy. It is designed to work with standard off-the-shelf hardware that is tested and approved for use in conjunction with the software. LibraVR system consists of the software (LibraVR Clinic) running on a PC (database of patients, creation of protocols, uploading protocols to mobile), and the LibraVR Mobile APP that runs on commercial mobile smartphones embedded in a lightweight cardboard or plastic VR viewer that the child wears as they would eyeglasses. The software displays a range of immersive VR exercises.
