Using Virtual Reality to Increase Motivation in Poststroke Rehabilitation

Paulo Dias et al. IEEE Comput Graph Appl. 2019 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) applications meet fundamental principles of rehabilitation: intensity, task oriented training, biofeedback, environments rich in stimuli, and motivation, all pivotal factors for the success of rehabilitation programs. This paper describes the development process of a set of VR minigames developed to increase the motivation of stroke patients while performing repetitive upper limb movements.
