We are now testing virtual reality at the Jáchymov spa

In early December, we began testing VR Medical's virtual reality technology at the Jáchymov Therapeutic Spa! The study monitors patients with the following indications:
- VII/1 Rheumatoid arthritis, stages I to IV,
- VII/2 Bechterew's disease (ankylosing spondylitis),
- VII/7 Coxarthrosis, gonarthrosis.
Statistical evaluation of the VR testing results from Spa Resort Pawlik - Aquaforum and ROYAL SPA is currently underway.
Even now, however, we already know that virtual reality training demonstrably reduces spastic pain and improves patients' psychological well-being. Simple exercises help physiotherapists enliven rehabilitation, intensify movement, and at the same time motivate patients to exercise.
