Introduction: Welcome to the OmniVR® by ACP

The OmniVR® is the ﬁrst virtual reality (VR) system

developed to meet the needs of medically complex

patients, including aging adults. The OmniVR® uses an

advanced 3D camera and specialized OmniVR® III computer

software to immerse the patient and allow them to interact

with a virtual world. The system includes a variety of skilled

exercises and activities for physical, occupational, and

speech therapy applications, without requiring headsets,

hand-held controllers, or standing platforms/boards.

The OmniVR® addresses unmet clinical needs for the

geriatric population, including, but not limited to, patients

presenting with low function, pain, fall risk, cognitive deﬁcits,

visual deﬁcits, hemiparesis, neurodegenerative disorders,

cardiopulmonary disorders, general and orthopedic

post-surgical conditions, and urinary incontinence.

The OmniVR® provides a broad range of settings via preset

levels and adjustable parameters for personalization. The

system’s ability to customize the exercise allows patients

to be progressively challenged while receiving frequent,

positive feedback, setting them up for success. In addition,

exercises can be performed in individual and multiple

participant formats. Objective data establishes baseline

performance, supports individualized goal-setting, and can

create a sense of competition within patients themselves

and/or with others. These OmniVR® system beneﬁts help

deliver a higher quality of care with improved outcomes.

Research demonstrates that improvement in motor function

is dependent upon exercise intensity and the number of

repetitions performed. VR systems engage patients with a

variety of medical conditions to perform a higher volume of

exercise at greater intensities, whereas traditional therapy

may be limited to tasks found to be boring or arduous. The

use of virtual reality in conjunction with traditional therapy

techniques for function and goal-oriented activities provides

immediate visual and auditory performance feedback that

is captivating and fun. Research supports the use of VR

augmented biofeedback because patients beneﬁt from

this positive feedback loop within an interactive VR-based

environment. Research also conﬁrms that VR-acquired skills

appear to transfer to real-life settings.

Precautions

The OmniVR® is a professional rehabilitation tool intended

for aging adults and others with physical, neurological, and/or

cognitive limitations. The system requires the skills, knowledge,

and judgment of a qualiﬁed practitioner such as a Physical

Therapist, Occupational Therapist, or Speech-Language

Pathologist. Their guidance and supervision are required for the

safe and ecacious use of the OmniVR® with patients.

The system cannot monitor nor guarantee patient safety. The

practitioner should judge whether a particular individual is able to

perform a speciﬁc OmniVR® exercise or activity and monitor the

patient’s performance and safety during the exercise session.

Speciﬁc Contraindications (C), Warnings (W), and Precautions (P)

for the OmniVR® system are noted in the table.

Subject Description C/W/P

Patient Instruction Demonstrate an exercise to patients performing that exercise for the ﬁrst time.

This will ensure each patient understands the purpose of the exercise and how to

perform it.

Impaired Cognition Patients with cognitive impairment require close monitoring and cueing for safe

and eective use.

Cardiopulmonary

Conditions

Caution should be used for patients with suspected or diagnosed cardiopulmonary

conditions. Closely monitor vital signs and patient responses to the exercises.

Healing Bones, Tissue Caution should be used in the presence of recent surgical procedures, fractures,

or healing bones and soft tissue when muscle contraction may disrupt the healing

process. Ensure that range of motion and load limits are respected.

Imbalance Patients with impaired static and/or dynamic balance require close monitoring. Be

prepared to provide physical assistance in case of a loss of balance.

Hypersensitivity Although rare, a patient may demonstrate anxiety, nausea, imbalance, or other

problems in response to exercising in a virtual reality environment. All therapy

treatments should be attended with the provision of physical assistance and patient

cues as needed.

Exercise Area Safe use of the OmniVR® requires that the exercise area be open and unobstructed

with the ﬂooring in good repair.

Equipment Hazards If the OmniVR® is damaged/faulty or if error messages appear on the screen or the

screen goes blank, attempt to power down the unit normally or, if necessary, unplug

the power cord and contact ACP Customer Support.

Power Cords Only connect the OmniVR® to a properly grounded power outlet using a hospital-

grade cord. Examine the power cord, and if it appears damaged or frayed,

discontinue its use and contact our Customer Support department for a replacement.
