Hand rehabilitation based on augmented reality

Published: 22 April 2009 Publication History

Abstract

This paper presents an augmented reality based system for hand rehabilitation. In this system, digital data gloves are used to detect the movements of the patients' hands and collect the physical information from the patients. Using augmented reality technology, a highly controllable environment with tasks of different levels of difficulty is provided to the patients for them to perform the rehabilitation exercises gradually. The targets of the exercises can be adjusted dynamically with respect to the physical conditions and progress of the patients. Multimodal feedbacks are provided to facilitate and encourage the patients during the rehabilitation sessions.
