Methodology Dedicated to Assisted Visual Training Rehabilitation for People With Severe Disabilities Caused by Accidents or Serious Injuries

Abstract

The paper describes a stage of research on the rehabilitation in case of people with visual impairments and severe locomotor disorders that have occurred as a result of accidents or serious injuries. As current stage, a methodology was developed through which people, regardless of age, after accidents or traumas having deficiencies in visual function and/or related to hand-eye coordination, can be helped in the training sessions due to software interfaces recovering activities. The proposed method is intended to be an alternative, complementary to conventional methods of visual training. It has the role of diversifying training activities and, moreover, to quantify in an efficient and objective way to what extent, by repeating the procedures, the answers improvement could be proved in case of the tested subject. Besides, the method has the advantage of being accessible both in optometry practices and medical clinics, as well as in the persons concerned, who, at home, can perform training sessions, under the recommendation and assistance of authorized persons (doctors, ophthalmologists, optometrists).
