EDMONTON — Edmonton will soon be home to a state-of-the-art virtual reality rehabilitation system for injured soldiers and other patients, one of only two sites in Canada with such technology.
The Department of National Defence will spend $1.5 million on a computer-assisted rehabilitation environment (CAREN) system for the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital.
The system should be operational by early 2011 and will serve Western Canada. A CAREN at the Ottawa Hospital Rehabilitation Centre, also to be installed this year, will serve the eastern part of the country.
