Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze domestic and foreign studies using virtual reality or metaverse for exercise rehabilitation in order to help the disabled or elderly patients with exercise rehabilitation, and suggest a method for using metaverse for exercise rehabilitation. Method: In this study, after analyzing and discussing various information related to the metaverse and exercise rehabilitation through electronic search of recently published papers, academic journals, books, and internet websites, the exercise rehabilitation plan using the metaverse was proposed. Results: In the case of domestic research, the diversity of virtual reality application technology for the rehabilitation of disabled and elderly patients was not secured, but recently, virtual reality or metaverse-related technologies were developed and specialized in a form suitable for exercise rehabilitation. In the case of overseas studies, it was analyzed that exercise rehabilitation using virtual reality and metaverse games for the rehabilitation of disabled and elderly patients can help improve brain, physical ability, and anti-aging by activating the body and mind. Conclusion: Smart metaverse health care is actively introduced to exercise rehabilitation, metaverse telemedicine business is applied to exercise rehabilitation programs, and digital twin games and exercise rehabilitation programs developed by metaverse related companies take into account the characteristics of disabled and elderly patients. If customized smart metaverse healthcare is used for exercise rehabilitation, it is analyzed that it can lead this field.

메타버스는 점차 빠른 속도로 발전되며 응용 분야가 확대되고 있다. 스포츠 분야에서 다양한 메타버스 시도가 이루어지고 있으며, 축구, 야구, 농구 등 인기 종목에 대한 메타버스 구축 및 운영이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 사용자의 새로운 경험을 이끌어 내기보다, 오프라인 대체 수단으로 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 웨어러블 디바이스를 통해 사용자 생체 정보를 수집하여 메타버스에 적용 가능한 데이터로 가공하는 과정에 대한 연구내용을 기술한다.
