Virtual reality vestibular rehabilitation training device:

Shurui VR vestibular balance rehabilitation training device is based on the traditional vestibular rehabilitation training mechanism and promotes vestibular balance function rehabilitation training through the interaction of vestibule-visual-proprioception.

This equipment uses virtual reality technology to transform the rigid and boring 2D training scenes such as text and pictures in traditional rehabilitation training into 3D training scenes that simulate real life, making the training content more vivid, interesting and entertaining. During the training, It provides patients with interesting interactions and encourages them to participate in rehabilitation training more proactively, thereby greatly improving patients compliance with rehabilitation training.
