Immersive Virtual Reality Program in Down Syndrome
Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Down Syndrome Immersive Physical Activity
In brief
The presented project aims to bring immersive technology to individuals with Down syndrome (DS) through the development of innovative proposals for acquiring skills and abilities, and enhancing their capabilities by combining the motor and cognitive components so important for this group. Various strategies have been used to improve the functionality (physical and cognitive) and quality of life of people with DS; however, one of the problems observed in practice is the low motivation and commitment to the interventions being implemented. In response to this problem, the use of technology and gamified environments has been proposed in recent years to make therapies more engaging. Therefore, this project arises with the objective of developing and evaluating the effects of an immersive intervention program on the physical and cognitive abilities of individuals with Down syndrome.
