“…14 In a comparison between traditional fitness training and a 3D augmented reality training system (3D-ARS) in the rehabilitation of lower limb function and balance problems among elderly people, the 3D-ARS group showed a stronger healing effect. 15 Previous studies have shown promising results in the applications of VR among elderly people, but they mostly focused on using VR as a tool in medical treatments. As VR technologies and devices are becoming widely accessible, there is a need to study VR as a source of entertainment and information in everyday use.…”

Positive emotions are important for the physical and mental health of elderly adults. Previous research has suggested that the emotion processing mechanisms of elderly adults differ from those of young people. The current study used a mixed-methods approach to explore the emotional impacts of viewing an uplifting 360°v ideos under immersive (using a virtual reality [VR] headset) and nonimmersive (using a smartphone) conditions on elderly populations and young people. In Study 1, we conducted a pre-post treatment betweensubject field experiment (smartphone vs. VR) among 58 seniors (aged 60 years and above) in a community center in Beijing, China. One-on-one semistructured interviews of each participant were conducted after the experiment. In Study 2, we conducted a between-subject laboratory experiment with the same design among college students. The results show that while both VR and smartphone viewing conditions led to a significant positive effect on the self-reported emotions of the college students, only the smartphone viewing condition had a significant impact on the emotional well-being of the elderly participants. For college students, immersive VR had a stronger effect on inducing positive emotions than smartphone, but for elderly people, the smartphone viewing condition was more effective in improving emotional wellbeing than immersive VR. An analysis of the qualitative data from interviewing the elderly participants also revealed a divergence in the acceptance of VR technologies among elderly adults, and the sense of telepresence had both positive and negative effects on the elderly participants' emotions and experiences.

Objective: the objective of this review is to analyze the advances in the field of rehabilitation through virtual reality, while taking into account non-immersive systems, as evidence have them shown to be highly accepted by older people, due to the lowest “cibersikness” symptomatology. Data sources: a systematic review of the literature was conducted in June 2019. The data were collected from Cochrane, Embase, Scopus, and PubMed databases, analyzing manuscripts and articles of the last 10 years. Study selection: we only included randomized controlled trials written in English aimed to study the use of the virtual reality in rehabilitation. We selected 10 studies, which were characterized by clinical heterogeneity. Data extraction: quality evaluation was performed based on the Physioterapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale, suggested for evidence based review of stroke rehabilitation. Of 10 studies considered, eight were randomized controlled trials and the PEDro score ranged from four to a maximum of nine. Data synthesis: VR (Virtual Reality) creates artificial environments with the possibility of a patient interaction. This kind of experience leads to the development of cognitive and motor abilities, which usually positively affect the emotional state of the patient, increasing collaboration and compliance. Some recent studies have suggested that rehabilitation treatment interventions might be useful and effective in treating motor and cognitive symptoms in different neurological disorders, including traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, and progressive supranuclear palsy. Conclusions: as it is shown by the numerous studies in the field, the application of VR has a positive impact on the rehabilitation of the most predominant geriatric syndromes. The level of realism of the virtual stimuli seems to have a crucial role in the training of cognitive abilities. Future research needs to improve study design by including larger samples, longitudinal designs, long term follow-ups, and different outcome measures, including functional and quality of life indexes, to better evaluate the clinical impact of this promising technology in healthy old subjects and in neurological patients.

“…From the reviews, most studies had been conducted in Europe which is 15 studies [3][4][5][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] followed by USA which is nine studies [2], [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], Korea [28,29], and South East Asia [30][31][32][33] had been handled 3 studies respectively, while China has 2 studies [34,35] and Turkey [36] and Brazil [37] and Japan [38] had one paper respectively. The papers had been published in the early 2000s until the present.…”

“…The previous study and investigation have shown that healthy and technology have close associated which means it important to help the user to improve or assist their daily routine. Another study that evaluates the augmented reality games as a supportive technology application that has been used for hand motor-impaired user [3], [15], [19], [28]. Besides that, there is a study that used another device which is exoskeleton technology for hand motor impaired users' [10], [4], [25], [27].…”

Diabetes Users who encounter physical and motor impairment persist in struggle to archive the target of performance in the form of hand gesture improvement. Hand gestures are allowed people to give a sign as a communicate medium and to hold, grip and pinch the object. The low ability of hands makes the movement or gesture limited and difficult for them to do the routine activity. This review aim to evaluate the effect of whether the existing supportive technology can assist the hand motor-impairment user. A total of 31 papers were identified and only 10 papers were selected in this review. In this paper, the existing supportive technology tools in the field of motor rehabilitation which is focused on hand motor-impaired users are reviewed. The existing of supportive technology for hand motor-impaired user is not a new field as the paper reviewed from 2014 until 2019. There are few innovations or initiatives from the previous research and study that give a positive effect on the users were identified. Future research is needed to further appreciate and improved the desired role of people with hands motor-impaired in meaningful technology development.
