Upper Extremity Rehabilitation for Stroke Patients Using Fully Immersive Virtual Reality Game :a Preliminary Study

Virtual reality is classified as non-immersive, semi-immersive, and fully-immersive depending on the degree of immersion. Among these, the fully-immersive type is a system that allows the user to immerse himself or herself in a live environment using a head mounted display (HMD) and a variety of sensors capable of recognizing the motion of the user. We developed a fully-immersive rehabilitation program using a HMD, and report a preliminary study of applying it to patients with upper extremity dysfunction due to stroke.
