Lateropulsion Rehabilitation Using Virtual Reality for Stroke Patients
Abstract
—Virtual reality (VR) is being explored as a method of rehabilitation for stroke patients, specifically in lateropulsion patients. Virtual Reality or augmented reality, provides realistic 3-dimensional environments combined with real-time movements.
The user is able to concentrate on the scenery and feel removed from their real life setting and immersed in a new
setting.
Integrating virtual reality with rehabilitation practices is an accessible way for patients to improve their recovery times while
using a mobile device to make rehabilitation more accessible to the patient. The goal of this research is to use virtual reality as a viable tool for physical therapists to help improve the stamina of recovering patients.
The study will explore the benefits of changing the environment of the user, to help change their perspective of the world and normalizing the world for lateropulsion stroke patients.
This work will conduct the necessary research to develop a mobile application which may benefit the lives of stroke patients by potentially decreasing the lateropulsion symptoms.
