Aphasia is a language disorder that often occurs following a stroke. The objective of our study is to give an overview of the use of desktop technologies, oriented towards augmented, mixed or virtual reality. An exploratory search of medical and computer article databases (Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Taylor and Francis, PubMed and ACM digital library) found 1728 articles on the subject. A multi-criteria selection method identified 44 relevant articles. Based on these articles, this paper presents the interaction techniques used for rehabilitation. It also presents the methods used with a description of the user tests carried out: protocol, participants and results. Our study shows that the use of computer programs can help rehabilitate aphasic people. But little research has been done on the use of innovative technologies based on augmented, mixed or virtual reality. We conclude with recommendations and suggestions to further the research in this subject.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
