New Technologies in Cancer Rehabilitation Medicine-Session Presentation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speakers discuss new technologies in cancer rehabilitation medicine, focusing on virtual reality, wearable trackers, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). They highlight the increasing use of virtual reality in cancer rehabilitation, explaining how it stimulates the brain and provides a tailored interaction to each patient. They discuss studies that have shown improvements in pain, functional outcomes, and fear of movement in cancer patients using virtual reality. They also mention the benefits of wearable trackers in tracking activity, sleep, and heart rate, and how it can motivate patients to be more physically active. The speakers briefly touch on TMS, explaining its use in mapping motor areas before neurosurgery and its potential for promoting neuroplasticity in brain tumor rehabilitation. They mention ongoing studies in TMS and brain tumor rehabilitation. Overall, these technologies show promise in improving outcomes in cancer rehabilitation, but more research is needed to fully understand their impact.
