“…In comparison, Lewis et al found that for some participants, challenging themselves during computer-based games and observing progress through levels of difficulty and real-time score feedback meant encouragement to continue trying [32]. Some authors consider providing a score following the playing of a computer game important, because scores and similar feedback allow for performance feedback, which promotes learning [14,33].…”

Abstract-This article reports on the perceptions of 14 adults with chronic stroke who participated in a pilot study to determine the utility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of using an adapted CyWee Z handheld game controller to play a variety of computer games aimed at improving upper-limb function. Four qualitative in-depth interviews and two focus groups explored participant perceptions. Data were thematically analyzed with the general inductive approach. Participants enjoyed playing the computer games with the technology. The perceived benefits included improved upper-limb function, concentration, and balance; however, six participants reported shoulder and/or arm pain or discomfort, which presented while they were engaged in play but appeared to ease during rest. Participants suggested changes to the games and provided opinions on the use of computer games in rehabilitation. Using an adapted CyWee Z controller and computer games in upper-limb rehabilitation for people with chronic stroke is an acceptable and potentially beneficial adjunct to rehabilitation. The development of shoulder pain was a negative side effect for some participants and requires further investigation.

“…One of the biggest advantages of the VR-based programs was to maximize the effects of exercise by triggering players' interest in being fully immersed in the games, compared to other exercise programs 33) . Moreover, as the game continued, the score was displayed to give instant feedback, which fostered an interest in competing for a better score.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a virtual reality exercise program on the balance of elderly persons with type 2 diabetes.[Subjects] Participants were randomly allocated to two groups: a VR-based exercise group (n=27) and a control group (28).[Methods] The VR group performed a VR-based exercise program for 50 minutes twice a week for 10 weeks, and the control group received only diabetes education without exercise activity. Balance was measured as postural sway using a force plate.[Results] Postural sway significantly decreased after the VR-based exercise.[Conclusion] The VR-based exercise program improved balance. These results suggest that VR-based exercise programs are suitable and effective preventing falls by elderly persons with type 2 diabetes.

“…Of these, 123 were discarded since they did not fulfil the inclusion criteria: Seven papers were not written in English, three were book chapters, 112 were not related to shoulder rehabilitation. A total of 12 articles remained relevant for inclusion, corresponding to nine different AR-based systems for shoulder rehabilitation (see Figure 1): NeuroR [18], ARS [19], RehaBio [20], MirrARbilitation [21,22], ARIS [23,24], AR Games by De Leon et al [25], SleeveAR [26,27], AR Fruit Ninja [28], AR System by Colomer et al [29]. The following section presents an overview of the AR-based reviewed systems for shoulder rehabilitation, as well as an analysis and discussion of their technical and clinical aspects.…”

Review of the Augmented Reality Systems for Shoulder Rehabilitation

et al. 2019

Literature shows an increasing interest for the development of augmented reality (AR) applications in several fields, including rehabilitation. Current studies show the need for new rehabilitation tools for upper extremity, since traditional interventions are less effective than in other body regions. This review aims at: Studying to what extent AR applications are used in shoulder rehabilitation, examining wearable/non-wearable technologies employed, and investigating the evidence supporting AR effectiveness. Nine AR systems were identified and analyzed in terms of: Tracking methods, visualization technologies, integrated feedback, rehabilitation setting, and clinical evaluation. Our findings show that all these systems utilize vision-based registration, mainly with wearable marker-based tracking, and spatial displays. No system uses head-mounted displays, and only one system (11%) integrates a wearable interface (for tactile feedback). Three systems (33%) provide only visual feedback; 66% present visual-audio feedback, and only 33% of these provide visual-audio feedback, 22% visual-audio with biofeedback, and 11% visual-audio with haptic feedback. Moreover, several systems (44%) are designed primarily for home settings. Three systems (33%) have been successfully evaluated in clinical trials with more than 10 patients, showing advantages over traditional rehabilitation methods. Further clinical studies are needed to generalize the obtained findings, supporting the effectiveness of the AR applications.
