ABSTRACT

The cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is the third leading cause of death in industrialized countries. In Mexico there are about 200,000 people who suffer stroke each year. The aftermath dominant impact on the quality of life of patients and family because their independence is limited. Here we present the approach of EVC with virtual reality in which stimulation is used by various devices to interact with the virtual environment and give the patient the feeling that is manipulating real objects, this therapy feel that is a interactive exercise and fun compared to the conventional. 6 patients were studied 2 women and 4 men he aims to generate effective synaptic potentiation thus increase practtico-induced neuroplasticity.
