Article Synopsis
- A 71-year-old African-American woman presented with 2 months of headaches and blurred vision, leading to a series of medical evaluations.
- Initially, her conditions seemed undetectable until imaging revealed a mass, resulting in a biopsy that diagnosed her with a craniopharyngioma (WHO grade I).
- The case highlights the importance of recognizing unusual symptoms related to brain tumors and emphasizes the need for targeted diagnosis, treatment, and enhanced patient management strategies for better outcomes.
Objective: The development of negative behavioral and psychosocial factors (depression, anxiety, apathy, etc) is associated with poor well-being, which can contribute to health issues in ageing, especially in the context of COVID-19. Despite its relative novelty, fully immersive virtual reality (VR) interventions through 360° immersive videos are becoming more accessible and flexible and constitute an emerging method to potentially enhance well-being. The aim of this scoping review is to assess the effectiveness of 360° interventions on well-being in older adults with or without cognitive impairment, as well as cybersickness and attitudes toward this technology.

Virtual reality (VR) is an innovative tool providing engaging and playful environments that could promote intrinsic motivation and higher active participation for non-ambulatory stroke patients when combined with robot-assisted gait training (RAGT). We have developed a new, fully immersive VR application for RAGT, which can be used with a head-mounted display and wearable sensors providing real-time gait motion in the virtual environment.
