Acronym: VR in MND
Brief Summary: Motor Neurone Disease MND is a chronic progressive neurological condition where people experience weakness of muscles leading to pain and restriction of movement as well as problems with swallowing breathing and communication The purpose of this study is to establish if Virtual Reality is useful for people with MND and if it helps improve their well being
Detailed Description: Motor Neurone Disease MND is a chronic progressive neurological condition where people experience weakness of muscles leading to pain and restriction of movement as well as problems with swallowing breathing and communication

As people become increasingly immobile they become restricted in their ability to perform activities of daily living access the outdoors participate in preferred occupational roles or engage in leisure activities Consequently there is a deterioration in their ability to experience well being and have quality of life There is also a significant carer burden as the carer spends long hours in the day looking after the person The average disease trajectory lasts between 3-5 years followed by death More recently the use of Virtual Reality VR technology is being recognised in the field of health This technology uses the interactions between an individual and a computer generated environment to stimulate different sensory modalities such as visual and auditory The technology can be accessed commonly using head mounted goggles or head sets The entertaining or stimulating effect of VR is useful in redirecting the persons attention away from the distressing experiences such as pain and anxiety The purpose of this study is to establish if VR is useful for people with MND and if it helps improve their well being
