“…Camera-based virtual reality has been used for over a decade in clinical settings, with low cost systems recently available in rehabilitation of stroke [7], traumatic brain injury [8], and cerebral palsy [9]. MR experiences have been designed for patients with stroke [10] using phenomenological approaches to action representation and computing [11] through feedback that is provided on performance of activity level parameters and categories, in addition to body function level parameters and categories [12]. MR has been recently used for rehabilitation in individuals with spinal cord injury [13,14].…”

This paper outlines a design case study for Skyfarer, a mixed reality rehabilitation application developed for upper body exercise of individuals aging with disability. We describe how experience, experiential and participatory design methodologies were combined to develop a game, which was publicly exhibited at IEEE VR and ACM SIGGRAPH, and formally evaluated in a biomechanical study at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center RLANRC.

“…Furthermore, the present-day mass-market adoption of the immersive technology brought new promise related to the application of such interfaces to patient rehabilitation [10,38,41]. Previous works often remark about the potential and advantages of immersive technology to provide tools, and environment for home-based rehabilitation [10,45,49]. The computer system can almost entirely supervise such a process, and an expert would periodically assess only the treatment results.…”

“…Other authors [1,26] used Virtual Reality (VR) as a means of upper limb prosthetic rehabilitation. There are many more examples of immersive interfaces [3,31,45] being used in the recovery of motor functions of the patient's upper limbs, which typically involve some form of arm stretching and grabbing [28,45]. Similar approaches were used in the case of stroke which was another frequently researched subject [8, 15, 18-22, 28, 40, 45, 46, 48].…”

“…The term itself encompasses various technologies used to conduct parts of patients' rehabilitation using telecommunication networks. Such remote rehabilitation program is consulted and assigned by a medical practitioner who supervises and tracks the patient's progress online with the help of an electronic feedback system [45]. Recently, one of the newest waves of such systems is enhanced with immersive interfaces such as augmented reality (AR) [39,43,44].…”

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, incurable disease of the central nervous system that is also one of the most common causes of disability among young adults. Despite available pharmacological treatments, the patients often require ongoing, supervised rehabilitation. Thus, therapists are constantly searching for new, effective ways of improving functional performance and quality of life without frequently visiting medical centers. One of the most promising methods is remote telerehabilitation enhanced with an immersive augmented reality (AR) interface. Here, we investigated the effectiveness of using a commercially available AR system in MS patients’ treatment. To evaluate such an approach to rehabilitation, we conducted a medical study with 30 MS patients undergoing immunomodulatory treatment. In this study, we evaluated the influence on the patients’ upper limbs’ hand grip strength and efficiency of the patients’ upper limbs. In addition, we also analyzed the level of neurotrophins to assess the potential impact of the training on the brain plasticity process. Our results show that rehabilitation enhanced with AR significantly improves the strength and efficiency of the patients’ upper limbs. Furthermore, we further infer that AR-enhanced systems are a promising possibility of training without leaving home.

“…In addition, accommodating heavy marker-based systems in a home-based setting is unrealistic, as inaccurate placement of markers can negatively affect the movement quality assessment framework and place a heavy burden on the stroke survivor and/or caregiver. In recent years, the focus of rehabilitation research has been towards devising multi-modal interventions and accompanying tools to assist home-based therapy [9], [25], [27], thereby supplementing traditional therapy received in the hospital. A solution to this was proposed in [9], where a single reflective marker was placed on the participant’s wrist to track the movement (see Fig.…”

In this paper, we propose a general framework for tuning component-level kinematic features using therapists’ overall impressions of movement quality, in the context of a Home-based Adaptive Mixed Reality Rehabilitation (HAMRR) system. We propose a linear combination of non-linear kinematic features to model wrist movement, and propose an approach to learn feature thresholds and weights using high-level labels of overall movement quality provided by a therapist. The kinematic features are chosen such that they correlate with the quality of wrist movements to clinical assessment scores. Further, the proposed features are designed to be reliably extracted from an inexpensive and portable motion capture system using a single reflective marker on the wrist. Using a dataset collected from ten stroke survivors, we demonstrate that the framework can be reliably used for movement quality assessment in HAMRR systems. The system is currently being deployed for large-scale evaluations, and will represent an increasingly important application area of motion capture and activity analysis.
