“…For example, a task used in the GRASP program 29 , 30 involves moving an empty cup across a tabletop. A mixed-reality robotic rehabilitation system 39 , 40 could have the patient grasp a real cup and add or remove virtual inertia to make it seem as if it is full of water, increasing the difficulty and realism of the task without risking the potential mess of a patient dropping a cup full of water. It also could allow patients with more limited function practice the whole task of grasping, lifting, and moving a cup of varied loads with assistance from the robotic system.…”

Introduction This study investigated the needs of stroke survivors and therapists, and how they may contrast, for the design of robots for at-home post stroke rehabilitation therapy, in the Ontario, Canada, context. Methods Individual interviews were conducted with stroke survivors ( n = 10) and therapists ( n = 6). The transcripts were coded using thematic analysis inspired by the WHO International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health. Results Design recommendations, potential features, and barriers were identified from the interviews. Stroke survivors and therapists agreed on many of the needs for at-home robotic rehabilitation; however, stroke survivors had more insights into their home environment, barriers, and needs relating to technology, while therapists had more insights into therapy methodology and patient safety and interaction. Both groups felt a one-size-fits-all approach to rehabilitation robot design is inappropriate. Designs could address a broader range of impairments by incorporating household items and breaking activities down into their component motions. Designs should incorporate hand and wrist supports and activities. Designs should monitor trunk and shoulder motion and consider incorporating group activities. Conclusion While therapists can provide insight in the early stages of design of rehabilitation technology, stroke survivors’ perspectives are crucial to designing for the home environment.

“…Domain 1 assesses understanding and communication, domain 2 assesses mobility, domain 3 deals with self-care, domains 4 and 5 include relationships with people and assess life activities, and domain 6 focuses on participation in society. Domain scores and total scores can be calculated using the SPSS algorithm (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) algorithm [ 40 , 41 ]. The item-response theory is applied in the scoring, where individual items may have different weights.…”

Background and Objectives: The consequences of stroke have a significant impact on self-sufficiency and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation has the potential to impact these modalities, but information on timing, volume, and intensity is not yet available. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (1:1) was to evaluate the impact of conventional rehabilitation combined with VR on self-care and domains of HRQoL in patients ≤6 months post-stroke. Materials and Methods: The intervention group completed a total of 270 min of conventional VR + rehabilitation sessions. The control group underwent conventional rehabilitation only. Primary assessments with the WHO disability assessment schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2) questionnaire were conducted before rehabilitation (T0), after completion of the intervention (T1), and at the 4-week follow-up (T2); secondary outcomes included self-sufficiency and balance assessments. Results: Fifty patients completed the study (mean age 61.2 ± 9.0 years, time since stroke 114.3 ± 39.4 days). There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in WHODAS 2, self-sufficiency, and balance scores (p > 0.05). Conclusions: In the experimental group, there was a statistically significant difference in WHODAS 2, assessment of self-sufficiency, and balance scores before and after therapy (p < 0.05). VR appears to be a suitable tool to supplement and modify rehabilitation in patients after stroke.

“…Over the last few years, there has been a consistent effort to synthesize and understand the VR literature. Prior systematic reviews focusing on VR have explored a range of consumer impacts, including training and rehabilitation programs (Howard, 2017;Howard & Davis, 2022;Howard et al, 2021), physical performance implications (Ng et al, 2019), and applications in exposure therapy (Cardos ȩt al., 2017). Moreover, Xi and Hamari (2021) Prior reviews provide valuable insights into the impact of VR on users and contribute to the growing body of research in this area.…”

Scholarly research on virtual reality (VR) is characterized by a dynamic tension between VR's potential and the challenges impeding its adoption. Grounded in a mixed‐methods systematic review, this research examines the drivers influencing consumer VR adoption by rigorously combining qualitative and quantitative analyses of 158 scholarly articles ranging from 1996 to 2023. Based on an extensive analysis of VR adoption literature, we introduce the Virtual Reality Integrated Adoption Framework (VRIAF), which is the first mixed‐methods systematic review focusing exclusively on VR adoption. This empirically substantiated model integrates key determinants of VR adoption such as consumer attitudes, perceived enjoyment, ease of use, social influences, and previous user experiences. The research identifies four pivotal themes through qualitative exploration, further elucidated by quantitative meta‐analyses and weight analyses. These themes encompass the user experience in VR environments, the role of VR in construction and design, the immersive attributes of VR technologies, and the ongoing technological advancements influencing adoption patterns. This research contributes significantly to the theoretical understanding of VR adoption and provides practical insights for VR professionals. By delineating future research directions, the study bridges the gap between theoretical exploration and practical application, offering a valuable resource for both scholars and practitioners in the field of VR.
