This study investigates how therapists are able to adopt a virtual reality toolset for rehabilitation of patients with acquired brain injury. By conducting a case study where the therapists and their interactions with the system as well as with the patients are in focus. Video recordings, participant observers and field notes were the main sources for data used in an interaction analysis. Results reveal emergent behaviour and resourcefulness by the therapists in utilizing the virtual tools in combination with their conventional approaches to rehabilitation.
