In recent years, many different technologies on virtual rehabilitation have been produced and used in research. However, existing studies are limited because most of them focus on the balancing ability of the elderly or studied stroke patients with same systems. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the effects of a new virtual rehabilitation system in patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a virtual rehabilitation system using a MarVAJED® system which provides visual and auditory stimulus aimed at educating and controlling the joint proprioception, range of motion, pain intensity, and knee swelling in individuals with an ACL injury. A total of fifteen patients with ACL reconstruction participated in this study. In addition to conventional physiotherapy, a virtual rehabilitation treatment was applied with visual and auditory stimulus for a total of eight weeks, three sessions per week. There were statistically significant improvements in measures of proprioception, range of motion, pain intensity, and knee swelling between pre– and post – treatment (p<0.05). We concluded that this new VR system known as MarVAJED effectively treat ACL patients by improving proprioception, range of motion, and by decreasing pain intensity, and knee swelling.

Abstract Background After stroke, sustained hand rehabilitation training is required for continuous improvement and maintenance of distal function. Methods In this paper, we present a system designed and implemented in our lab: the Home based Virtual Rehabilitation System (HoVRS). Fifteen subjects with chronic stroke were recruited to test the feasibility of the system as well as to refine the design and training protocol to prepare for a future efficacy study. HoVRS was placed in subjects’ homes, and subjects were asked to use the system at least 15 min every weekday for 3 months (12 weeks) with limited technical support and remote clinical monitoring. Results All subjects completed the study without any adverse events. Subjects on average spent 13.5 h using the system. Clinical and kinematic data were collected pre and post study in the subject’s home. Subjects demonstrated a mean increase of 5.2 (SEM = 0.69) on the Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment (UEFMA). They also demonstrated improvements in six measurements of hand kinematics. In addition, a combination of these kinematic measures was able to predict a substantial portion of the variability in the subjects’ UEFMA score. Conclusion Persons with chronic stroke were able to use the system safely and productively with minimal supervision resulting in measurable improvements in upper extremity function.

Abstract Background: Compensatory movements are commonly observed in older adults with stroke when they take motor practice for rehabilitation, which could limit their motor recovery.Aim: This study aims to develop one virtual rehabilitation system (VRS) that can detect and reduce compensatory movements to improve the quality of upper extremity (UE) movements and hence the outcome of rehabilitation in community-dwelling older adults with stroke. Method: To design and validate the algorithm of compensation detection equipped in VRS, a study was first conducted to recruit 17 healthy and 6 stroke participants to identify and quantify compensatory movements when they played rehabilitation games provided by the VRS. Then a pilot study was conducted to test the feasibility and efficacy of the VRS deployed in community, where 18 stroke participants were assigned to either virtual reality (VR) group or conventional treatment (CT) group, and each participant underwent 10 sessions of an additional 6 minutes of VR games or CT respectively, on top of their usual rehabilitation programme. Participants were assessed before and after interventions using Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity (FMA-UE), Wolf Motor Function Test(WMFT), Stroke Rehabilitation Motivation Scale (SRMS), Range of Motion (ROM) measurements and the number of compensatory movements.Results: VR group demonstrated a trend in reduction of trunk and upper-extremity compensations, increased intrinsic motivation scores, and statistically significant improvements in FMA-UE (p=0.045) and WMFT (p=0.009, p=0.0355) scores. There was, however, no significant difference in all outcome measures between two groups. Conclusion: The compensation-aware VRS demonstrates a trend towards reduced compensation and higher motivation level, which could be an effective adjunct to the conventional therapy with less supervision from a therapist as well as be potentially deployed in a community center or at an elder adult’s home.
