Home-Based Telerehabilitation Using a Virtual Environment System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a Telerehabilitation system that has been developed in our laboratory. The system allows a therapist in a remote location to conduct treatment sessions, using a virtual environment based motor training system, with a patient who is located at home. The design, technical testing and clinical feasibility testing of the system are reported. Results from the first two stroke patients to use the system indicate that patients made significant gains in upper extremity function as measured by standard clinical tests and by their subjective report.

We describe a telerehabilitation system that has been developed in our laboratory, and initial results following use of the system on 2 patients with stroke. The system allows a therapist in a remote location to conduct treatment sessions, using a virtualenvironment-based motor-training system, with a patient who is located at home. The system consists of a patient computer with motion-capture ...
متن کاملTelerehabilitation: remote multimedia-supported assistance and mobile monitoring of balance training outcomes can facilitate the clinical staff's effort.
Telerehabilitation can offer prolonged rehabilitation for patients with stroke after being discharged from the hospital, whilst remote diagnostics may reduce the frequency of the outpatient services required. Here, we compared a novel telerehabilitation system for virtual reality-supported balance training with balance training with only a standing frame and with conventional therapy in the hos...
متن کاملVirtual reality-based orthopedic telerehabilitation.
Rehabilitation interventions in remote areas are problematic because of distance and available resources. Orthopedic impairments acquired by individuals in remote areas can then lead to permanent disabilities/loss of function because of lack of appropriate rehabilitation. A system being developed by Rutgers and Stanford Universities provides therapy at the patient's home, with remote monitoring...
