Summary

Body distortions are responsible for anorexic behavior reinforcing loops. It is necessary to target this behavior and develop appropriate therapies taking into account the perceptual (implicit) and conceptual (explicit) phenomenon of body representations.

The main originality of the proposed program consists on combining virtual visual impulses and multisensory recalibration (touch, proprioception, vestibular sensations) in order to compare the body distortions evolution in anorexic patients with or without a multimodal care program including Virtual Reality from its own body scan, coupled or not to a multisensory remediation.

Conditions
