  This is a short PowerPoint/video about how occupational therapists can use a virtual reality tool in their practice setting in regards to evidence based practice. The speaker goes over different types of virtual reality (pros and cons) and the efficacy (immersion, therapist is a part of therapy not an observer, degrees of difficulty, incorporating cognitive, visual and motor challenges, and encouragement of high repetition of tasks). The speaker then continues about different research articles from the last 10 years to further explain what researchers are finding out when using virtual reality with different populations.
  I think this is great since technology is becoming more fluid in people's daily lives so in the future, virtual reality may not be that big of a shift in therapy for some tasks. The current elderly population are generally not that focused on technology, but as future generations get older they may be more interested. Children now are very driven for video games so I think this is something we could always consider in the clinic.
