RGS is a novel and highly innovative Virtual Reality (VR) tool for the rehabilitation of deficits that occur after brain lesions. Currently RGS has been successfully applied to the rehabilitation of the upper extremities after stroke.
The RGS is based on the neurobiological considerations that plasticity of the brain remains throughout life and therefore can be utilized to achieve functional reorganization of the brain areas affected by stroke. This can be realized by means of activation of secondary motor areas such as the so called mirror neurons system.
RGS deploys a deficit oriented training approach. Specifically, while training with RGS the patient is playing individualized games where movement execution is combined with the observation of correlated actions performed by a virtual body. The system optimizes the user's training by analyzing the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the user's performance. This warranties a detailed assessment of the deficits of the patient and their recovery dynamics.
