Summary

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of augmented and virtual reality-based rehabilitation programs on improving upper extremity function in subacute stroke patients.

Detailed description

This was a randomized, single-blinded study, conducted at a single acute rehabilitation unit in a university hospital. In this study, the effect of augmented and virtual reality-based rehabilitation for the recovery of subacute stroke patients compared with conventional occupational therapy was evaluated.

Conditions

• Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Augmented reality and virtual reality rehabilitation	This group underwent augmented reality and virtual reality rehabilitation with 4 different systems. The RAPAEL Smart Glove® is a wearable sensory system that contains a single 9-axis movement and position sensor with 3 acceleration channels, 3 angular rate channels, and 3 magnetic field channels that measures wrist movements, and 5 bending sensors that measure finger movements. The RAPAEL Smart Board® is a rehabilitation system used to improve arm function by practicing gravity-compensated movements. The RehabMaster® is a game-based Kinect sensor AR rehabilitation system which uses a 3D camera to digitize patient movements and quickly analyze their range of motion, speed, motion angle, and movement cycles. rehabilitation exercise using games to encourage active arm and trunk movements and promote successful rehabilitation. The COG-Trainer® is a VR system that uses a training device synchronized with the screen through simulation.
BEHAVIORAL	Conventional occupational therapy	The group underwent standard ocupational therapy, such as range of motion and strengthening exercises for the affected upper extremity, table-top activities, and training for activities of daily living.
