Serious Games are growing into a significant area spurred by the growth in the use of video games and of new methods for their development. They have important applications in several distinct areas such as: military, health, government, and education. The design of computer games can offer valuable contributions to develop effective games in the rehabilitation area. This paper presents fundamental...
Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD) are several remaining symptoms after an acceleration-/deceleration injury of the neck, often due to a road accident. Common symptoms are neck pain, headache, stiffness, loss of sensation, memory impairment and concentration difficulties. The whiplash-related injuries were estimated to cost Sweden more than SEK 4 billion 2005, the main part of these costs takes the...
In this paper, VR-based novel rehabilitation system has been developed to help mild stroke patients to recover their motor function of upper limbs. The system consists of haptic device (PHANTOM Omni), an advanced inertial sensor (MTx) and a computer. Our intention is to facilitate patientspsila cortical plasticity according to observing virtual object correlated with self-generated intended action...
We present an at-home assessment system for upper extremity rehabilitation with simple motion capture that is functional and affordable. This system uses lighted targets to initiate a reach to grasp (or touch, if the patient is unable to grasp) to three touch- and force-sensitive cones. During the reach, end-point reach trajectory is captured using a low-cost, custom-built infrared motion capture...
Virtual reality-based computer games may be a useful way to develop motor skills and increase activity levels in children. We have developed an interactive computer platform where users must tilt a wobble board to complete on-screen computer game tasks. We have conducted a pilot study with 81 school children who played the game and used a questionnaire to gather information on children's enjoyment...
