“…According to Table 2 , 17 (85%) systems developed for lower limb rehabilitation give feedback during or after exercise therapy. This feedback was either visual or a combination of visual and auditory feedback [ 12 , 31 – 35 , 38 – 41 , 45 – 49 , 51 , 52 ]. Feedback in rehabilitation systems can help the patient better adapt to the treatment protocol [ 3 ].…”

Introduction Musculoskeletal disorders are one of the most common causes of physical disability. The rehabilitation process after musculoskeletal disorders is long and tedious, and patients are not motivated to follow rehabilitation protocols. Therefore, new systems must be used to increase patient motivation. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies can be used in this regard. In developing such systems, various technologies and methods of movement recognition are used; therefore, this study aims to summarize the technical aspects of using VR/AR in rehabilitation and evaluate and discuss efficient methods of investigating studies using the Statement of Standards for Reporting Implementation Studies (StaRI). Methods Search in four scientific databases was done systematically based on PRISMA through online search engines from inception to June 2021. These databases include Medline (PubMed), Scopus, IEEE, and Web of Science. An updated search was also conducted on 17 December 2021. The research used keywords and MeSH terms associated with VR/AR, musculoskeletal disorder, and rehabilitation. Selected articles were evaluated qualitatively using the Standards for Reporting Implementation Studies (StaRI) statement. Results A total of 2343 articles were found, and 20 studies were included. We found that 11 (55%) studies used Kinect technology as input tools, and 15 (75%) studies have described the techniques used to analyze human movements, such as dynamic time warping (DTW) and support vector machines (SVM). In 10 (50%) studies, the Unity game engine was used for visualization. In 8 studies (40%), usability was assessed, and high usability was reported. Similarly, the results of the review of studies according to the StaRI checklist showed poor reporting in the title and discussion of the studies. Conclusions We found that academic studies did not describe the technical aspects of rehabilitation systems. Therefore, a good description of the technical aspects of the system in such studies should be considered to provide repeatability and generalizability of these systems for investigations by other researchers.

Natural user interface (NUI) is considered a recent topic in human–computer interaction (HCI) and provides innovative forms of interaction, which are performed through natural movements of the human body like gestures, voice, and gaze. In the software development process, usability and user eXperience (UX) evaluations are a relevant step, since they evaluate several aspects of the system, such as efficiency, effectiveness, user satisfaction, and immersion. Thus, the goal of the authors’ systematic mapping study (SMS) is to identify usability and UX evaluation technologies used by researchers and developers in software with NUIs. Their SMS selected 56 papers containing evaluation technologies for NUI. Overall, the authors identified 30 different usability and UX evaluation technologies for NUI. The analysis of these technologies reveals most of them are used to evaluate software in general, without considering the specificities of NUI. Besides, most technologies evaluate only one aspect, Usability or UX. In other words, these technologies do not consider Usability and UX together. For future work, they intend to develop an evaluation technology for NUIs that fills the gaps identified in their SMS and combining Usability and UX.

Telerehabilitation uses new information and communication technologies as an instrument to ensure a distant rehabilitation service. Patients who underwent hip replacement surgery are an excellent case study for the application of this technology. Post-surgical rehabilitation guidelines for hip arthroplasty are well known, and the correct application has a positive effect on the patients' prognosis. However, there are no complementary guidelines for physical therapy that could be used at a distance by patients through a computer platform. This chapter presents a systematic review about conventional physical therapy programs for hip arthroplasty. Based on this review, we proposed therapeutic exercises adapted to a low cost web-platform. In order to reach this objective we will present a brief review of the total hip arthroplasty, telemedicine, telerehabilitation and conventional physical therapy approaches.
