“…The QualSyst evaluation criteria contributed to classifying the best-structured studies with the most solid and consistent results [19]. It is noticed that the publications with the highest grades used a combination of methods of data collection [24,25,29,50,51] and sought to quantify these results by validating them with analysis based on statistical calculations. For this, they experimented with different configurations, by either grouping user profiles [29], testing different versions of the system [24,50], or comparing with and without the use of technology [25], in order to obtain data to make comparisons or detect patterns of changes.…”

“…Although the technical and practical success of rehabilitation applications is fundamental to improve them, the researches that make subjective judgments of the users are essential for the usability improvement. Of the 10 studies that received QualSyst's best scores, 7 used questionnaires (validated or authored) to verify aspects related to user experience, such as motivation [29,51], satisfaction [24,25], perception [42,50], and ease of use [31]. This analysis contributed to bringing parameters beyond those provided by performance assessments and helped to justify or explain events related to changes in user behaviour patterns.…”

“…It also used a Participant Demographic Research Questionnaire and Post-Study Questionnaire that was divided into 2 sections with items selected and adapted from the IBM Usability Satisfaction Questionnaire. Another [51] used the mean and standard deviation of task completion time for six games played by patients, in addition to analysing responses to questions related to game usability.…”

This article aims to understand which methods and user assessment approaches are most commonly used in motor rehabilitation studies that use Augmented Reality (AR) applications. The way in which this was performed and discussed was through a systematic review of the area. Firstly, the different uses of AR in these treatments, and the importance of improving usability studies to evaluate these interfaces and their interactions with their users, were discussed. Then, the systematic review of the literature was structured according to previous studies and covered the period from 2007 to September 2017, using the main scientific journals of the area. Of the 666 results collected in the initial search, 32 articles were selected within the planned requirements and scope. These publications were classified by relevance, using the QualSyst evaluation tool for health technology research, and the type of evaluation, approach, and methods used were catalogued. It was found that most of the studies prioritise methods of data collection, such as task execution and performance analysis. However, through QualSyst, it was verified that the best-evaluated studies chose to use a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis, through the application of methods such as user preference questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The results presented in this review may benefit designers who intend to design and conduct usability assessments for AR within this context.

“…Human-robot interactions can be performed in a stable fashion under certain conditions, which depend on the characteristics of both the robotic systems and human users [8]. The stability of the robot relies on mechanical parts, control systems, and communications delays [9], while the human part depends on the physiological properties of the tissues and the biomechanical characteristics of the extremities, such as muscle contraction, joint flexion and extension, and neuromotor control [10].…”

Human-robot interactions help in various industries and enhance the user experience in different ways. However, constant safety monitoring is needed in environments where human users are at risk, such as rehabilitation therapy, space exploration, or mining. One way to improve safety and performance in robotic tasks is to include biological information of the user in the control system. This can help regulate the energy that is delivered to the user. In this work, we estimate the energy absorbing capabilities of the human arm, using the metric Excess of Passivity (EOP). EOP data from healthy subjects were obtained based on Forcemyography of the subjects' arm, to expand the sources of biological information and improve estimations. Clinical relevance-This protocol can help determine the ability of rehabilitation patients to withstand robotic stimulation with high amplitudes of therapeutic forces, as needed in assistive therapy.

Traditional upper limb rehabilitation exercises are primarily aimed at regaining the strength or range of motion of the patients' injured area. An alternative option that has been presented in the last years is the use of haptic interfaces, which have shown their potential as tools that support rehabilitation therapies. This article presents a haptic system of rehabilitation for fine upper limb movements, whose main characteristic is that users of the system can interact in a visual and tactile fashion with virtual objects mixed with real scenarios, thereby achieving an augmented reality environment. The system was tested in two stages, both with subjects who had a degree of disability in upper limbs. The data collected were followed trajectories, follow-up errors and the muscular activity obtained by means of electromyography; the collected information enabled the analysis, in a quantitative way, of the degree of progress of the patients. In addition, the assessments made by physiotherapists were considered, concluding that the proposed system can be used as a viable complementary tool for conventional rehabilitation therapies.
