Description
Keito Shinmoto, Yuki Torikai and Masahiko Hara report a single case of a new therapy for Huntington's disease in this 2024 Europe PMC paper. The disease slowly damages the brain and erodes daily living skills. The therapy, somato-cognitive coordination therapy, uses a virtual reality medical device called mediVR KAGURA.
The patient, a woman in her forties with early-stage disease, had twenty-two sessions over twenty months. Her functional capacity and Barthel Index scores rose within three months, letting her keep working, and the gains held for seventeen months. Balance tests improved steadily, and signs pointed to better thinking and mood, including a return to hiking.
