“…It focuses on the light and shadow effect of the scene, the simulation effect of the model, and the physical constraints of the objects in the scene. The rehabilitation training environment set by this project is the living room in the family, so modeling technology is required to be used for modeling [ 18 ]. Unreal Engine 4 is used for rendering realistic light and shadow effects, and physical characteristics such as collision and gravity are given to the objects in the scene.…”

In order to make most patients recover most of their limb functions after rehabilitation training, virtual reality technology is an emerging human-computer interaction technology, which uses the computer and the corresponding application software to build the virtual reality environment. Completing the training tasks in the virtual environment attracts the patients to conduct repeated training in the game and task-based training mode and gradually realizes the rehabilitation training goals. For the rehabilitation population with certain exercise ability, the kinematics of human upper limbs is mainly analyzed, and the virtual reality system based on HTC VIVE is developed. The feasibility and work efficiency of the upper limb rehabilitation training system were verified by experiments. Adult volunteers who are healthy and need rehabilitation training to participate in the experiment were recruited, and experimental data were recorded. The virtual reality upper limb rehabilitation system was a questionnaire. By extracting the motion data, the system application effect is analyzed and evaluated by the simulation diagram. Follow-up results of rehabilitation training showed that the average score of healthy subjects was more than 4 points and 3.8 points per question. Therefore, it is feasible to perform upper limb rehabilitation training using the HTC VIVE virtual reality rehabilitation system.

“…In addition to refining the human computer interaction within the use of accelerometers for engaging in home programs, exploration of the utilization of these devices with virtual reality applications is an area for future investigations. Some initial explorations of combining accelerometry with virtual reality have used the accelerometer to monitor physical activity levels (Gomes et al, 2019), while others have aimed to create a device that can control objects in a virtual space (Perng et al, 2020). Findings from our study can support further integration into virtual reality applications by identifying variables of potential interest when monitoring practice remotely.…”

Background: Adherence to home practice rehabilitation programs is important for efficacy; however, adherence is challenging for many individuals post-stroke. Accelerometers have emerged as a potential means to support home practice. This secondary data analysis explored the use of a commercially available accelerometer with custom software to collect and analyze data to corroborate self-reported practice collected during a home program.Methods: The initial study was a single subject design trial that investigated the effect of preferred music listening on adherence to an upper extremity home practice program (Trial Number NCT02906956. ClinicalTrials.gov). The participants (n = 7) were post-stroke adults with aphasia and hemiparesis of the upper extremity. Participants completed home program exercises while wearing accelerometers and recorded practice times in a logbook. Data were collected, cleaned, processed, and analyzed to facilitate descriptive comparisons and clinical interpretations of accelerometer output data.Results: Across all participants, an average of 47% of data were captured and usable for analysis. Five out of seven participants self-reported longer practice times compared to accelerometer duration output by a mean of 66.5 s. Individual exercise set mean total angular velocity and standard deviation of acceleration demonstrated potential for use across time to monitor change.Conclusions: One challenge of integrating accelerometers into clinical practice is the amount of data loss and the steps for data processing. The comparisons of available accelerometer data to the self-reported logs, however, were generally representative. Future investigations should explore ways to increase data capture and accessibility of the data for feedback to the client and practitioner.

“…Repetition: Considering motor learning and level of physical activity, one of the essential factors for success is repetition, and serious games have the potential to increase the repetition of the task, providing different intensities of movement and functional activities ( French et al, 2016 ). Thus, as the participants execute body movements, such as the repetition of muscle contractions ( Alvarez et al, 2017 ) during the serious game, the level of physical activity will gradually enhance ( Gomes et al, 2019 ) with an adaptation to an aerobic activity and improvement in physical capacity and efficiency of the cardiorespiratory system ( Powell et al, 2011 ). This is in accordance with Sheehy et al (2016) , who stated that serious game is enjoyable and may motivate patients to perform more repetitions of their movement in a ludic environment, with goal-oriented movements, contributing to increased intensity and, consequently, physical activity.…”

IntroductionThere is a need to maintain rehabilitation activities and motivate movement and physical activity during quarantine in individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP).ObjectiveThis paper sets out to evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of using computer serious game in a non-immersive virtual reality (VR) implemented and evaluated completely remotely in participants with CP for Home-Based Telerehabilitation during the quarantine period for COVID-19.MethodsUsing a cross-sectional design, a total of 44 individuals participated in this study between March and June 2020, 22 of which had CP (14 males and 8 females, mean age = 19 years, ranging between 11 and 28 years) and 22 typically developing individuals, matched by age and sex to the individuals with CP. Participants practiced a coincident timing game1 and we measured movement performance and physical activity intensity using the rating of perceived exertion Borg scale.ResultsAll participants were able to engage with the VR therapy remotely, reported enjoying sessions, and improved performance in some practice moments. The most important result in this cross-sectional study was the significant increasing in rating of perceived exertion (through Borg scale) in both groups during practice and with CP presenting a higher rating of perceived exertion.ConclusionChildren with CP enjoyed participating, were able to perform at the same level as their peers on certain activities and increased both their performance and physical activity intensity when using the game, supporting the use of serious games for this group for home therapy and interactive games.Clinical Trials Registrationhttps://Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT04402034.
