Lower Limb Balance Rehabilitation of Post-stroke Patients Using an Evaluating and Training Combined Augmented Reality System

Augmented/virtual reality applications can provide immersive and interactive virtual environment for motor rehabilitation using the collaborative stimulations of multiple sensory channels such as sight, hearing, and movement, enhance the rehabilitation effect through repetitions, feedbacks, and encouragement. In this paper, we propose an evaluating and training integrated application for the rehabilitation of patients with lower limb balance disorder. The AR-based evaluation module visualizes the limits of lower limbs patients’ balance abilities and provides quantitative data to their therapists, then rehabilitation therapists can customize personalized VR training games accordingly.
