Useless research, it tells us nothing about the results obtained.
Virtual reality therapy using the Leap Motion Controller for post-stroke upper limb rehabilitation
ABSTRACT
AIMS: To evaluate the applicability of a virtual reality-based motion sensor for post-stroke upper limb rehabilitation.
CASES DESCRIPTION: Three post-stroke patients were subjected to virtual reality training for rehabilitation of their upper limbs using the Leap Motion Controller technology and the game Playground 3D
®
for 3 consecutive days. On the first and last days, the Box and Blocks test, the De Melo Eye-Hand Coordination Test, and transcranial magnetic stimulation were applied. On the last day, the patients were evaluated with
the Experience Evaluation Form. After the proposed training, a lower motor threshold was observed in both cerebral hemispheres, as well as better performance in the tests that evaluated hand and eye-hand coordination skills. The proposed therapy was well received by the patients.
CONCLUSIONS: No adverse effects were observed, and promising and precise results were obtained for the virtual reality-based training using the Leap Motion Controller and Playground 3D
®
. The training allowed patients to have an active role in the rehabilitation of stroke-induced upper limb sequelae
