Abstract

Augmented reality (AR) overlays virtual objects in the real world, allowing users to interact with physical and virtual elements simultaneously, which is different from virtual reality technology, creating an entirely immersive digital environment. The advantages of the AR-based rehabilitation systems for stroke training include providing the training with limited assistance from therapists, real-time human body tracking, and motor guidance with visual feedback. Based on these advantages of AR technique, a low-cost and easy-set-up home-based AR rehabilitation training system for the elderly with disabilities or stroke survivors was developed by a team in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and used among Hong Kong citizens during COVID-19. More than 45 exercises covering the upper limb, lower limb, coordination, and balance training were designed by experienced physical therapists, and occupational therapists are incorporated into the system as a training protocol. In addition, the personalized report, including angles of joint movement, the positions of the center of mass, reaching distance etc., was provided. In sum, the home-based AR rehabilitation system showed accessible, effective, and influential impacts for persons with stroke during rehabilitation with clinical data from evidence-based studies.
