Aplicación móvil de realidad virtual para el entrenamiento de la mano espástica. Virtual reality mobile application for spastic hand training

Background: The hand is a structure with a complex neuromuscular organization that in hemiparesis is compromised, affecting function.

Aim: To determine the changes in the motor function of the spastic hand of an adult with hemiparesis through the use of a mobile application for virtual reality.

Method: Case report of a 29-year-old adult with hemiparesis, evaluated with the Fugl Meyer upper extremity assessment (FMA-ES), the Trail Making test and the force dynamometry test. A therapeutic intervention was performed with exercises of the least affected hand for 12 sessions using special glasses for a total immersion 20 minutes using mobile application Mirror box Therapy VR®.

Results: The virtual reality therapy applied through the Mirror Box Therapy VR® mobile application, shows in a short time favorable changes in the motor and sensory hand function of the patient.

Discussion: Virtual reality provides a functional interaction, making it an effective tool to motivate patients during sessions.

Conclusion: An intervention through the use of virtual reality generates changes in the motor and sensory function of the hand of a patient with hemiparesis after 12 work sessions.
