After a brain injury, cognitive impairments are common, affecting an individual's independence and quality of life. Although various training programs are used in rehabilitation, it remains unclear how effective they are in real-life settings. The project now being planned at CogTech, a technology-driven rehabilitation unit at Danderyd Hospital, aims to evaluate new methods that can enhance both training effectiveness and motivation. In the project, the effect of game-based training in virtual reality (VR) on cognition will be evaluated. VR offers a more realistic and engaging environment, which may improve the transfer of training outcomes to everyday situations. In this feasibility study, ten patients at the clinic will receive VR-training at 15 occasions in addition to rehabilitation as usual. The results may contribute to the development of more individualized rehabilitation, reduced treatment times, and improved quality of life for people with brain injury.
