Virtual reality is transforming the way Baby Boomer’s think of technology through the use of physical therapy. With increased accessibility it has saved costs and time for patients. An alternative to patients going to clinic to work with an instructor can be replaced with at home therapy session. This changes the way physical therapy can be taught and diagnosed. Specified programs can be created for certain different types of individuals and injuries as well instant feedback and performance results can be given resulting in increased recovery times. This can also be used as a tool for physical therapists who need to see patient statistics to diagnose and further help their patients to the rehabilitation goals. Providing an exciting way to recovery is a innovative approach to a traditional therapy.
