Dr. Kevin Parcetich
Brief Bio
As a Board Certified Neurologic Clinical Specialist I am interested in the application of virtual reality as an intervention that maximizes patient/client engagement and exercise intensity to maximize the effectiveness of rehabilitation. I am currently investigating the effects of virtual reality commercial gaming with the HTC Vive Pro on core muscle activation. Additionally, I am also researching the effects of moderate aerobic exercise produced with virtual reality games on cognition.
