Study Description

The study aims to determine the effectiveness of Augmented reality on motor function, balance, and functional ambulation in stroke patients. The emerging technology of Augmented Reality (AR), has been validated as a promising way to assist the rehabilitation training in Stroke patients. The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of the AR rehabilitation system in a real-world setting. The following questions will be addressed by the present study: (a) How the Augmented reality effects motor function, balance, and functional ambulation in stroke patients? (b) how much and what types of manpower can be saved while maintaining the efficacy of training with the assistance of the AR rehabilitation? (c) how can the contact rate be reduced with the AR training? (d) how do therapists/patients experience the AR training?
