“…Two studies reported on participants' satisfaction with and user acceptance of the intervention. 13,21 A few adverse effects were reported, for example, in one study the participants reported that the headset was too heavy to use. 21 The quality assessments of the included studies are summarized in Tables 4-6.…”

Background: Augmented reality (AR) is a relatively new technology which blends virtual objects with real scenes in real time and this may be an effective intervention to use in rehabilitation. Objectives: To systematically review the evidence for the effectiveness of AR applications on rehabilitation outcomes within a physical context. Method: A systematic search of the literature using specified search terms that included studies of any quantitative design testing AR applications in rehabilitation within a physical context. Results: The included 13 studies were of varying designs and generally rated poorly on methodological quality assessment. All studies reported varying degrees of improvement in outcomes with the use of AR applications. The technologies used were mostly in the prototype phase of development and were a mixture of simple and complex systems. Conclusion: AR applications for rehabilitation in a physical context are still in the early stages of development and thus evidence for effectiveness in rehabilitation is limited. The technology appears not ready for general practical use but the encouraging results support further research. IntroductionVirtual reality (VR) applications are increasingly used as adjuncts to rehabilitation. Development of VR technology has made it possible to combine reality with virtual objects in real time, creating a mix of the real environment and the virtual environment to form augmented reality (AR). 1 AR is based on the combination of different technologies and is well known in everyday (media) life, for example, the TV weather channel forecaster in front of the weather map or the recognition of QR codes (square marker patterns) with camera-equipped cell phones. VR technologies completely immerse a user inside a synthetic environment; while immersed, the user cannot see the real world around him. 2 In contrast, AR or mixed reality allows the user to see the real world, with virtual objects superimposed upon or composited with the real world. 3 Therefore, AR supplements reality but does not replace it. 3 Azuma defines AR systems as having three characteristics, namely: (1) they combine real and virtual objects, (2) they are interactive in real time, and (3) they are registered in 3D. 2 AR potentially has the advantage over VR in rehabilitation as it provides better sense of presence and reality judgments of the environment as the elements the patient uses to interact with the application are real. 2,4 In AR systems patients can, for instance see their hands and feet and how they are interacting with the application and the environment. As technology involved in AR becomes more accessible and affordable, a greater uptake of AR interventions in clinical rehabilitation settings is likely. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the effectiveness of AR interventions in rehabilitation to guide future use. To our knowledge, no systematic review of AR applications in rehabilitation related to physical outcomes has been undertaken. This paper reports on a systematic review of the...

“…Some other studies have considered the introduction of virtual cueing and wearable devices such as Virtual Reality Glasses (VRG), reporting beneficial effects in motor rehabilitation [52][53][54][55]. Espay [52] provided gait velocity, stride length, and cadence to demonstrate the effectiveness of interventions with VRG using closed-loop sensory feedback.…”

A Kinect-Based System for Lower Limb Rehabilitation in Parkinson’s Disease Patients: a Pilot Study

This work brings together the emerging virtual reality techniques and the natural user interfaces to offer new possibilities in the field of rehabilitation. We have designed a rehabilitation game based on a low cost device (Microsoft Kinect(TM)) connected to a personal computer. It provides patients having Parkinson's Disease (PD) with a motivating way to perform several motor rehabilitation exercises to improve their rehabilitation. The experiment was tested on seven Parkinson's Disease patients and results demonstrated significant improvements in completion time score and in the 10 Meters Walk Test score. Nevertheless, additional research is needed to determine if this type of training has a long-term impact. Both the device and protocol were well accepted by subjects, being safe and easy to use. We conclude that our work provides a simple and suitable tool resulting in a more enriching rehabilitation process where motivation is highly encouraged in PD patients. Feedback coming from participants corroborate the hypothesis that the system can be applied not only in clinical rehabilitation centers but at home.
