“…Although participants in this study used the device for many weeks as part of their daily activities, recent studies in other patient populations suggest more focused gait retraining may be required to overcome ingrained compensatory gait patterns [21]. Changes in gait mechanics have been observed when training individuals with amputation using real-time feedback, suggesting gait can be rapidly modified if appropriate feedback mechanisms are selected [22,23]. Future research should focus on the development and implementation of device specific training programs to facilitate effective implementation of novel technologies to improve STA.…”

“…Nakagawa et al [5] developed a prosthetic gait training system that consisted of two load cells that were included in a parallel bar and in prostheses, and visualized the floor reaction forces. The gait training system known as computer-assisted rehabilitation environment (CAREN) was effective in improving gait performance in a person with a unilateral transfemoral amputation [6]. The use of virtual reality (VR) en- On the other hand, real-time visual feedback was shown to be effective in motor training for cerebral palsy.…”

SUMMARYSome unilateral lower-limb amputees, have through continued exertion, increase the foot reaction force of the sound leg. The asymmetric gait with a prosthetic leg may thus negatively affect the musculoskeletal health of the leg on the healthy side. Therefore, it is important for these amputees to learn how to adjust the balance of each foot load in training. The aim of this study is to develop a training support system visualizing floor-reaction forces using a color-depth sensor. The pose of the entire body of the amputee is measured by the depth sensor, and the floor reaction force is estimated based on Zero Moment Point (ZMP), which is calculated using the center of mass of the amputee. Evaluation experiments of the proposed method were performed and they confirmed the effectiveness of the estimation method and the training with the visualization of reaction force.

“…As the application of VR is primarily designed to simulate real-life situations and exhibit maximum degrees of ecological validity, it enhances the acquisition of skills provided by the specifi city of the task (Darter & Wilken, 2011). The ecological validity promotes an increase in the probability of learned skills transfer in a simulated environment to the real world (Wang & Reid, 2011).…”

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive encephalopathy that causes changes in muscle tone, posture and movement. The importance of early rehabilitation intervention is widely recognized, and new treatment tools such as computational technologies have been added for rehabilitation. The use of computational virtual reality games raises the possibility to control the training intensity as well as to observe the progress and direct monitoring control over patients' activities. Additionally, some studies have shown the effectiveness of these systems in improving the management of tasks for patients with various levels of encephalopathy. Based on the assumptions above, the objective of this review was to discuss the literature on the use of such technologies in the rehabilitation of CP patients. The potential use of VR in rehabilitation of CP patients is clear. There is, however, a reduced number of randomized trials to sustain whether these methods may effectively act as a complement for physical and/or neuro-cognitive rehabilitation or work as a replacement for the traditional rehabilitation methods.Keywords: Rehabilitation, virtual reality, cerebral palsy.

A importância da intervenção precoce na PC é amplamente reconhecida. Novas ferramentas para tratamento, como as tecnologias computacionais, tem contribuído para a reabilitação desses pacientes. Jogos interativos e de realidade virtual (RV) permitem manipular a intensidade do treinamento, acompanhar o progresso e as atividades do paciente. Alguns estudos demonstram a efi cácia do uso
