More effective rehabilitation
The immersive effect of our application leads to the suppression of pain and unblocking of the patient's fears. This leads to faster improvement in their condition. Patients are more motivated to exercise. A unique connection with the inhalation of molecular hydrogens.
Simple and safe operation
Intuitive application with simple controls. It is safe to use even for elderly or disabled patients. Ability to easily plan, evaluate exercises and analyze patient progress.
Efficient operation
One physiotherapist can comfortably supervise multiple patients during exercise. Our application can replace some expensive rehabilitation devices. Thanks to more efficient rehabilitation, the turnover of patients is faster.

In Luhačovice Spa, a.s., in 2024, with the support of the RBP, we tested rehabilitation in virtual reality (hereinafter referred to as VR). This new technology pushes the boundaries of rehabilitation. Exercises in VR were prescribed by our doctors as part of rehabilitation plans for a number of patients with long-term movement and breathing diagnoses. Patients and physiotherapists alike have praised the exercises with the goggles and working with the app. The tolerance of the procedure - glasses and 3D environment was excellent, and we highly rate the user-friendliness of the environment. The wireless technology made handling easy and last but not least, we praise the excellent support of VR Vitalis®, who equipped us with hardware and software, trained us, serviced us and always responded quickly to our questions or comments. Based on our personal experience of the project, we are making efforts to get the virtual reality rehabilitation procedure reimbursed for routine operations.

MUDr. Petr Pšenica Head doctor
The use of virtual reality in our rehabilitation practice is another way to help patients regain lost functional ability, whether caused by injury, orthopedic surgery, or due to neurological or internal disease. We have been using virtual reality not only in the rehabilitation outpatient clinics at AGEL Třinec-Podlesí Hospital, but also at our detached workplaces in Bystřice and Jablunkov since 2022. We have established a successful cooperation with VR Vitalis® since 2023. Our patients who have used the individual modules in their upper limb and trunk treatment have been delighted with VR. These were mainly younger patients who are very close to the world of VR. The motivation of the game takes away the fear of movement and partially reduces pain, so we achieve better results in less time when we practice range of motion. We also find the use of VR in patients with asthma, where we apply the breathing module. We perceive virtual reality as an advanced method that has great application in our field, especially in practical use. We are very satisfied with our cooperation with VR Vitalis® and believe that the horizons of possibilities will continue to expand in line with the technical advances in the field of simulated reality.

MUDr. Barbora Ryšková Head of Rehabilitation Department
In our facility at AGEL Prostějov Hospital, we started using virtual reality with VR Vitalis® on Meta Quest 2 goggles in 2023. At that time, we had VR from two other companies to test, and we chose VR Vitalis® because of the ease of use for therapists and the simple understanding of the activities offered to patients. We now use this therapy most often with inpatients at the Medical Rehabilitation Center for diagnoses such as CMP, craniotrauma, Parkinson's disease, post-operative upper extremity conditions (arthroscopy and total shoulder arthroplasty, etc.), and neurosurgical back surgery. Activities with ADL training for the upper limbs are very popular and can be used by patients in the home environment. We choose tasks that are bimanual while utilizing the potential of the whole body. They also stimulate the patient's cognition, require coordination of movement and full concentration on the task at hand. The most popular tasks are hanging laundry, chopping wood, putting cups on a shelf, watering flowers, catching butterflies or 3D painting. We have also newly included therapeutic modules for the lower limbs. We have already had several meetings with our colleagues from VR Vitalis® and look forward to further cooperation.

We are very grateful for the development of this device. While using it, we have seen our patients themselves strive for positive changes as it is very different from mechanical exercises. Overall, there have been no negative results.

Mykola LYTVYNENKO Director
I first encountered VR Vitalis® a year ago at a conference where I was able to try out virtual reality exercises for myself. It was clear from the first moment that it would be a useful tool in rehabilitation. The app is very nicely designed, has a simple layout, lots of different modules that we can tailor to the patient. We observed an increase in patients' motivation to rehabilitate when they got away from the normal exercise and hospital environment. I highly recommend it as an adjunct to conventional rehabilitation.
