Resumo
Atualmente ainda surgem dúvidas na vantagem de utilização de ambientes de
realidade virtual na reabilitação cognitiva. Com o intuito de verificar se existe vantagem
ou não, na utilização desta nova tecnologia, realizou-se o presente estudo.
O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se a estimulação cognitiva em doentes
resultantes de AVC, com défices de atenção e memória, utilizando ambiente de
realidade virtual, melhoravam em relação aos doentes em que não foi efetuada
estimulação cognitiva com o recurso de ambiente em realidade virtual. Para estudar este
tema, utilizou-se um cenário de ambiente virtual com tarefas específicas de forma a
estimular a atenção e memória dos doentes. A amostra foi composta por 20 doentes
resultantes de AVC, tendo sido efetuados dois grupos com 10 elementos cada, num
grupo foi utilizado ambiente de realidade virtual e no outro grupo não foi utlizado
ambiente de realidade virtual. Os dados resultantes deste estudo demonstram diferenças
significativas na estimulação cognitiva referente à memória.
Currently there are still doubts in the advantage of using virtual reality environments in cognitive rehabilitation. In order to verify if there is an advantage or not, in the use of this new technology, the present study was carried out. The aim of this study was to verify whether the cognitive stimulation in patients resulting from stroke, with deficits of attention and memory, using virtual reality environment, improved compared to those patients for whom no cognitive stimulation was carried out with the use of virtual reality environment. To study this topic, we used a backdrop of virtual environment with specific tasks in order to stimulate attention and memory of patients. The sample consisted of 20 patients resulting from stroke, having made two groups with 10 elements each, a group was used virtual reality environment and the other group was not used virtual reality environment. The resulting data from this study demonstrate significant differences in cognitive stimulation on the memory.
