IVS4 | Intensive Visual Simulation

Vision plays an essential role in the early stages of reconstructing body image and motor control. With an intense immersion, IVS allows the patient to reintegrate a healthy functional limb and to focus on the representation of movement. "Seeing a movement, is almost like doing it". IVS replaces the image of the affected limb with a positive image of movement performed by the healthy limb. Lower Limb movement observation with IVS4 automatically induces a cortical sensorimotor activation. Reinstating coherence between what the patient intends to do and the sensations he perceives prompts relearning. Adapted to wheelchairs, the IVS4 allows patients to work seated to learn basic movements and more complex coordination, then in a standing position, to focus on a functional approach to balance and walking.
