Detailed 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?

Conditions

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Augmented Reality	Each participant will receive a standard trial consisting of 20 training sessions (2-5 sessions per week, 120 min per session) in consecutive 4-10 weeks. Each session will consist of 2-10 exercises selected by the trainer from a pool of 46 exercises. The selected exercises will be tailored based on the participant's condition and progress. The exercise pool will be designed as comprehensively as possible to cover the upper limb (22 exercises and lower limb (7 exercises) motor functions, balance ability (11 exercises), or/and coordination (6 exercises). Each exercise with a duration ranging from 3 to 23 min, and will be determined by a set of parameters that can be adjusted to the individuals dynamically according to the participant's performance.
OTHER	Traditional Training	Each participant will receive a Traditional training based on Task oriented training consisting of 20 training sessions (2-5 sessions per week, 120 min per session) in consecutive 4-10 weeks.
