We proposed a new system for the postural balance rehabilitation training. For the purpose, we used the virtual hiking system using virtual reality technology. We evaluated the system by measuring the parameters such as path deviation, path deviation velocity, cycling time, and head movement. From our results, we verified the usefulness of virtual reality technology in rehabilitation. Our results showed that this system was effective postural balance rehabilitation training device and might be useful as the clinical equipment.

Recently computer graphic technology has achieved remarkable development. Applications of this technology to various fields are expected. In this study, one application of computer graphics to the medical field is shown. We developed a rehabilitation system of hand manipulation using virtual reality aiming to offer enjoyable rehabilitation training to physically handicapped people with upper limb disabilities. This rehabilitation system generates training environments for upper limbs, such as moving balls in virtual space of computer. And by using data glove as a sophisticated input device, a user can manipulate objects in virtual space by his hand. By using this rehabilitation system, a user can have rehabilitation training under various conditions without feeling tedious.

PURPOSE: The primary objective of this study was to develop a virtual reality-based vestibular rehabilitation system to enhance balance perception, target rehabilitation specialists, and evaluate its usability. A key goal was establishing a system refinement strategy based on the collected data. METHODS: We conducted a study involving ten adults aged 10 to 29 in Gwangju Metropolitan City to evaluate the usability of a virtual reality-based vestibular rehabilitation system to enhance balance perception. After introducing the product and explaining its use to the participants, balance assessments and training were conducted using computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) (also called the test of balance [TOB]). Subsequently, participants were given a questionnaire to evaluate subjective stability, operability, and satisfaction. Frequency analysis was utilized to determine the frequency of the variable values of the measurement items in the survey for descriptive statistics. RESULTS: We found that the average usability score was 2.587. When broken down by category, stability received an average rating of 2.725, operability scored an average of 2.783, and satisfaction averaged 2.454. These findings suggest that most participants experienced positive sentiments and considerable satisfaction. CONCLUSION: The study successfully developed a virtual reality-based vestibular rehabilitation system, which was an improvement over the previous model and addressed its shortcomings. The results show that users with vestibular impairments are satisfied and more engaged with this system, indicating that additional studies are warranted.

Successful rehabilitation with respect to the activities of daily living (ADL) requires accurate and effective assessment and training. A number of studies have emphasized the requirement for rehabilitation methods that are both relevant to the patients real world environment, and that can also be transferred to other daily living tasks. Virtual reality (VR) has a many advantage over other ADL rehabilitation techniques, and offers the potential to develop a human performance testing and training environment. Therefore, in this study, the virtual supermarket was developed and the possibility of using a VR system to assess and train cognitive ability in ADL investigated. This study demonstrates that, VR technology offers great promise in the field of ADL training.

The purpose of this study is to establish the contents of virtual reality for a patient who suffers from various diseases and needs Upper-limbs Rehabilitation. First, the system provides the movement content to remote patient. Then system is tracking information in the joints by using Kinect Sensor. And similarity comparison of a given content to diagnose the movement of the patient. The tracked movement information is stored in the database with similarity and is delivered to the rehabilitation therapist. The result of this study will enhance the effectiveness and concentration of the rehabilitation therapy and be used as basic data evaluating the function of the Upper-limbs Rehabilitation.

본 논문은 뇌졸중 환자가 가상의 집에서 일상 재활 훈련을 할 수 있는 소근육 재활 시스템을 제안한다. 뇌졸중 환자는 마비증상으로 인해 일상생활 활동이 제한적이며 이들을 위한 재활 훈련에는 전등 켜고 끄기, 문 여닫기, 가스 밸브 잠그기, 자물쇠 열기 등 집안에서 일어나는 활동을 재현하는 작업 치료 훈련이 다수 있다. 본 논문에서는 가상현실 기술로 집 내부를 구현하여 앞서 언급한 일상 재활 훈련 요소를 배치하고 손동작 인식 장치인 립모션(Leap Motion)을 활용하여 환자가 손과 손가락을 충분히 사용하여 재활 훈련을 할 수 있는 재활 시스템을 제안하였다. 이 시스템을 이용하면 뇌졸중 환자는 불편한 몸으로 치료 기관에 방문하지 않고도 가상현실로 소근육 재활이 가능하며, 기존 작업 치료 도구의 단조로움을 탈피하여 흥미롭게 재활 훈련을 받을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper describes a development of rehabilitation training system for the postural balance control. A new rehabilitation training system, designated as a virtual cycling system, was developed to improve postural balance control by combining virtual reality technology with an unfixed bicycle. In this experiment, 20 normal adults were tested to investigate the influencing parameters of postural balance control. In order to evaluate the usefulness and the training effects of the system, several parameters Including path deviation, cycling velocity, cycling time, center of pressure, and head movement were evaluated and analyzed quantitatively. Also, to improve the effect of balance training, the visual feedback information related to the subject´s weight shift was ...

본 논문에서는 어떠한 장치를 착용하지 않고 덤벨의 무게감을 인지하여 덤벨 운동을 할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 가상현실 기술이 발전하면서 가상세계에서 현실 세계의 물리적 피드백을 시뮬레이션 하는 연구가 많이 진행하고 있다. 노인들에게 있어 재활 운동은 정확한 모션 인식이 중요하다. 또한, 노인들은 무거운 덤벨을 들 수가 없다. 본 논문에서는 재활 운동을 위해 실시간으로 입력되는 동작 데이터를 머신러닝을 활용하여 정확성을 판별하였다. 실험으로서 한손 덤벨 운동, 양손 덤벨 운동, 어깨 덤벨 운동 3가지를 실험하였으며, 재활 운동이 정확히 이루어지는가에 대해 실험하였다. 가장 안정적인 운동은 양손을 활용한 덤벨 운동이었으며 가장 적은 오차율을 나타내었다. 마지막으로, 가상에서 실제 적용하기 위해 가상 체육관 콘텐츠를 개발하였다.
