The present invention is in the technical field of virtual reality therapy/rehabilitation (VRT/R) for survivors of acquired brain injury (ABI) and other brain-affected individuals who experience disrupted brain-to-extremities communications to intact, existing and anatomically original, but disabled extremities. Specifically the present invention is directed to assisting survivors of acquired brain injury (ABI) traumatic brain injury, autism spectrum disorder, focal dystonias and other brain-affected individuals by computer-presenting/displaying a combination of virtual anatomical extremities (VAEs) in two forms: 1-VAEs which are computer pre-programmed to make simulated physical movements according to the programmer's design and purpose; and 2-VAEs which are interactively and tactically controlled/directed by users to make custom-purposed simulated physical movements according to the user's design and purpose. This invention conjoins the use of 1-VAEs and 2-VAEs to provide ABI survivors and other brain-to body-affected individuals with realistic, anatomically analogous controls over one or more virtual disabled extremities and one or more virtual unaffected extremities.
Conjoined, pre-programmed, and user controlled virtual extremities to simulate physical re-training movements
