Interventions

Immersive Virtual Reality Therapybehavioral

8 sessions of VR therapy over 4 weeks (each of them 20 minutes long). As a virtual reality source, VRTierOne device (Stolgraf®) were used. Thanks to using head mounted display and the phenomenon of total immersion VR therapy provides an intense visual, auditory and kinesthetic stimulation. It can have a calming and mood-improving effect or help the patients recognize their psychological resources and motivate to the rehabilitation process. In the virtual therapeutic garden there are a rich set of symbols and metaphors based on Ericksonian Psychotherapy approach. The most important is the Garden of Revival which symbolizes the patient's health. It used to be full of life and energy, now it is neglected, requires work to be revived. In the therapeutic process day by day, the therapist tells the patient a symbolic story about his/her situation.

Conventional rehabilitationbehavioral

Four weeks of conventional rehabilitation including: * Two hours of kinesiotherapy (120 minutes, including gait training). * Thirty minutes of ergotherapy. * Three physical therapy procedures (i.e. laser therapy, magnetic therapy, electrotherapy) tailored to individual ailments and needs.
