Precautions
The OmniVR® is a professional rehabilitation tool intended
for aging adults and others with physical, neurological, and/or
cognitive limitations. The system requires the skills, knowledge,
and judgment of a qualified practitioner such as a Physical
Therapist, Occupational Therapist, or Speech-Language
Pathologist. Their guidance and supervision are required for the
safe and efficacious use of the OmniVR® with patients.
The system cannot monitor nor guarantee patient safety. The
practitioner should judge whether a particular individual is able to
perform a specific OmniVR® exercise or activity and monitor the
patient’s performance and safety during the exercise session.
Specific Contraindications (C), Warnings (W), and Precautions (P)
for the OmniVR® system are noted in the table.
