Implementation of Rehabilitation Platform based on Augmented Reality Technology

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Stroke is now one of the leading causes of death and disability in both motor and cognitive functions. In addition, rehabilitation for stroke survivors also faces many physical and human difficulties. To address this issue, we studied the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in rehabilitation using a system called RARS. This system creates limbs rehabilitation exercises in the form of games using an AR interface. The goal of the RARS is to increase patient’s positive emotions, which motivates them to enjoy rehabilitation exercises. As a result, recovery efficiency will be improved, and the burden on physiotherapists will be reduced. The RARS is evaluated through a research about the effectiveness of this system on rehabilitation for patients after stroke (n=10). Reported results showed that the RARS produced significant improvement in the patient’s indicators of functional status. From that, this system shows that it not only creates great benefits for personnel and economic but also bring about huge potential for future growth.
