This 71-year-old woman was referred to a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation services due to requiring increased assistance with all functional tasks after a five-day hospitalization due to nine falls in one week and diagnosis of a urinary tract infection. Prior to hospitalization she lived with her grandchildren in a single story home with four steps at the entry and was independent with ambulation and all functional activities including meal prep.

This woman is very happy she progressed so quickly with therapy and that she was able to return home with her family’s support. She enjoyed using the virtual reality rehab system and stated “I really like competing with the other patients on Bingo!” The therapists feel the OmniVR really helped improve her ability to get up from the chair and walk.
