Scientists from Visdom laboratory of Volgograd State Technical University (VolGTU) and Devirta company, based on Volgograd medical clinics, have begun research on a unique complex for the rehabilitation of lung functions. The VR simulator (Virtual Reality) contributes to the restoration of human respiratory function after suffered diseases - ARVI and coronavirus.
According to the technical director of the project, Alexander Zubkov, the VR simulator has received a certificate of registration, and it is now being trialed. The creators hope to make the rehabilitation complex mass. Zubkov emphasized that there are no analogs to such equipment in the world.
The simulator works as follows: the patient puts on virtual reality glasses (VR glasses) and performs breathing exercises. Sensors record breathing indicators, as well as the course of rehabilitation. It is noted that such training allows not only to increase the potential of the lungs, but also to strengthen the entire body. Developers plan to supply the VR simulator to physical education offices, medical and educational institutions.
