Sunrise

Work on shoulder range of motion and sitting tolerance with the sunrise activity by REAL System

Overview

  • Exercising symmetrical seated shoulder flexion and encouraging postural alignment, these activities offer a friendly visual dialogue between the patient and an expressive sun. The patient raises the sun by raising and lowering their arms. The sun reacts to the patient’s posture and symmetry, giving real time biofeedback with a range of expressions and reflective positioning. Optional Mirror Therapy setting available.

  • Use for shoulder flexion, upper arm endurance, postural symmetry, shoulder ROM, sitting tolerance

This activity offers mirror therapy and encourages postural alignment

Sunrise

Exercise seated shoulder flexion and encourage postural alignment. Raise the sun by raising and lowering arms.

Exercise seated shoulder flexion and encourage postural alignment with this VR tool

Harvest

Exercise seated shoulder flexion and encourage postural alignment. Raise and lower arms to grow blue-ribbon vegetables.

Designed to strengthen the core and enhance mobility, this activity utilizes both hands and arms

Ice Cave

Focus

Shoulder Active Range of Motion (AROM), strength, and endurance
Shoulder Active Range of Motion (AROM), strength, and endurance are goals of this activity

Physical

  • Exercise shoulder flexion or arm strength

  • Augment activity with resistance bands, weights, dowel, cane, etc for shoulder AROM, endurance, and strengthening

  • Incorporate Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) patterns

  • Test patient endurance (i.e., set time goals for raised arm exercises)

Cognitive

  • Help patient understand the relationship between limb position and the virtual environment

  • Test command response (i.e., instruct patient to tilt sun to right or left)

  • Test symbol recognition or the ability to follow commands using ancillary characters as cognitive checkpoints or the sun’s biofeedback for cognitive interpretation

  • Mirror Therapy Options
