The patient sees their entire body in virtual reality, including a virtual limb that is physically absent. This visual and motor stimulation activates the corresponding areas of the brain, which helps to reduce phantom pain and improve control of the stump’s movements.
VRNOW allows the patient to regain muscle control and strength through accurate tracking of body movements and exercises with a gradual increase in load within a specified range of motion of the upper and lower limbs.
VRNOW is used to treat acute and chronic pain syndrome by providing sensory stimulation, distraction, and pain reduction through a gamified rehabilitation process.
VRNOW provides controlled practice of the full range of active and passive movements in large joints with fixation of the amplitude, speed, and trajectory of movement.
VRNOW helps restore balance control through exercises that involve body position, center of mass shifting, and movement coordination in dynamic virtual environments and exercises.
A special mode in VRNOW that simulates a lost limb in a virtual environment and allows the patient to see and move it, activating neural connections and reducing phantom pain.
“I would say that physical exercise alone is less interesting than using VRNow. Here, you are immersed in the content at 360 degrees. The sessions are now much more interesting, and I feel much less tired than when I was using other exercise machines,” says Alexander.
“VR NOW helped me regain control of my movements faster and made rehabilitation effective and interesting!”
“It was unusual at first. But after a few sessions, I felt the pain subsiding. I began to feel my arm, do exercises, grab the ball, move. VR really helps.”
“What I like most is that all movements are reproduced in real time, second by second, there is no delay, everything is reproduced accurately. I am sure that this simulator will be most helpful for phantom pains. Since, thank God, all my limbs are intact, it will help me restore mobility in my leg after an injury.”
“After the amputation, the most difficult challenge was phantom pain. The sensation of pain in a leg that was no longer there was physically and mentally exhausting”
“I really liked it as a type of conventional exercise machine. It’s very interesting! If you need physical rehabilitation, it’s very interesting, you’ll like it. It’s a good exercise machine for developing the vestibular system, I tried it myself. It’s cool! I recommend it!”
“10/10. It really helps with phantom pains—first of all, it’s hard to deal with them, but here you’re working out, you’re transported to another world, and at the moment I don’t even feel them.”

Rehabilitation using virtual reality has shown significant results in treating patients. By transporting patients to various spaces, the simulator engages the mind and body, increasing the effectiveness of each session. This level of immersion is key to accelerated and effective recovery.
Patients with amputations often experience not only physical trauma, but also prolonged phantom sensations that are exhausting and gradually reduce the possibility of recovery. Therefore, VRNOW will significantly alleviate pain and become a new tool in the work of our team of rehabilitation specialists.
This allows patients in limited space and with limited resources to learn to restore movement with the help of a special camera that reflects their everyday reality, helping them to rehabilitate and readjust their central nervous system to new conditions.
During the use of the VRNOW simulator, we noted a significant reduction in the intensity of phantom pain, especially in patients after lower limb amputations. Patients reported improved sleep, reduced discomfort, and increased emotional stability. There was also an improvement in muscle activity, a reduction in acute pain, and an increase in motivation to exercise regularly.
Using VRNOW allows us to create a comfortable, psychologically safe environment for patients, which is especially important when working with children. Rehabilitation with VRNOW is not only effective but also interesting for patients. Based on the results obtained, we recommend VRNOW as a reliable, convenient, and effective tool for rehabilitation.
Children with limb injuries who underwent rehabilitation using VRNOW showed a significant increase in muscle strength and a significant reduction in discomfort. VR technologies create comfortable conditions for children, motivating them to actively participate in rehabilitation. Thanks to its innovative approach, VRNOW significantly reduces recovery time and psychological stress, especially in children.
It is usually impossible to perform mirror therapy on patients with, for example, bilateral amputation in the absence of another healthy limb. Here, it draws legs for the patient and draws arms for the patient.
The virtual reality system for the rehabilitation of patients with pain syndrome and motor disorders from the VRNOW brand has the status of a medical device, which is confirmed by a valid certificate in accordance with the Technical Regulations for Medical Devices (Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 753). It is not just software, but a comprehensive clinical solution with complete hardware and software components, approved for official use in public and private healthcare facilities.
