New Bertec Head Mounted Display (HMD) Clinical Training Courses
Bertec is launching the HMD Clinical Training Courses—a comprehensive VR balance rehabilitation training program built for clinicians who want to bring immersive virtual reality into their balance assessment and vestibular rehabilitation practice. Whether you work in outpatient rehab, sports performance, or military medicine, these courses give you the foundational knowledge and hands-on skills to confidently operate the Bertec head-mounted display system and deliver structured, evidence-informed VR training to your patients and clients.
Why Immersive Virtual Reality Is Transforming Vestibular Rehabilitation
Traditional balance and vestibular rehabilitation relies on real-world environmental challenges that are difficult to control, repeat, or grade precisely. Immersive VR changes that. With a head-mounted display, clinicians can manipulate visual flow, scene complexity, and cognitive demand in real time—creating repeatable, progressive challenges that target the exact sensory-motor interactions driving a patient’s deficits. Research continues to show that VR-based vestibular rehabilitation can improve outcomes for patients with visual motion sensitivity, concussion-related balance deficits, and chronic vestibular dysfunction.
The Bertec HMD system was designed specifically for clinical use, offering validated protocols, integrated force-plate data, and structured progression pathways. The HMD Clinical Training Courses ensure you know how to use every feature effectively.
What You’ll Learn:
Participants will gain the ability to:
Explain how visual, vestibular, and cognitive systems interact to support movement and balance
Identify visual motion sensitivity and apply progressive desensitization strategies
Set up and operate the HMD system independently
Administer and interpret baseline visual-perceptual and sensory measures
Design progressive training programs using visuovestibular, vestibular, and neurocognitive protocols
Apply immersive VR principles to improve real-world transfer in sport, military, and rehabilitation settings
Education Format
The full bundle of courses includes up to 3 hours of content. This clinical training includes structured modules that can be completed sequentially or reviewed individually as needed. Content combines motor control theory, system walkthroughs, protocol instruction, and clinical application strategies.
