Physical disability due to any neurological disorder such as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) or Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) leads to motor deficit which will result in loss of control over whole body or one side of the body depending on which part of the brain is affected. In this case, physical rehabilitation is required to perform for restoration of lost functions to promote the patient's quality of life. However, traditional rehabilitation therapy requires one-to-one attention between patient and therapist. Furthermore, patients feel mundane after long term training with traditional exercises in repetitive manners. Therefore, this chapter presents the Effective Physical Rehabilitation System (EPRS) for upper limb rehabilitation by combination of augmented reality based rehabilitation exercises and biofeedback for fast recovery of motor deficit with motivational approach over traditional upper limb rehabilitation therapy which requires minimum supervision of physiotherapist. The main objective of EPRs is to restore the range of motions of upper limb and to prevent from muscle spasticity, muscle atrophy and osteoporosis in effective and motivated way. To meet this objective, augmented reality based pick and place rehabilitation exercises are developed for reaching movements. The effectiveness of the proposed system is evaluated by the experiments and questionnaires results.

Limb Rehabilitation

In order to make most patients recover most of their limb functions after rehabilitation training, virtual reality technology is an emerging human-computer interaction technology, which uses the computer and the corresponding application software to build the virtual reality environment. Completing the training tasks in the virtual environment attracts the patients to conduct repeated training in the game and task-based training mode and gradually realizes the rehabilitation training goals. For the rehabilitation population with certain exercise ability, the kinematics of human upper limbs is mainly analyzed, and the virtual reality system based on HTC VIVE is developed. The feasibility and work efficiency of the upper limb rehabilitation training system were verified by experiments. Adult volunteers who are healthy and need rehabilitation training to participate in the experiment were recruited, and experimental data were recorded. The virtual reality upper limb rehabilitation system was a questionnaire. By extracting the motion data, the system application effect is analyzed and evaluated by the simulation diagram. Follow-up results of rehabilitation training showed that the average score of healthy subjects was more than 4 points and 3.8 points per question. Therefore, it is feasible to perform upper limb rehabilitation training using the HTC VIVE virtual reality rehabilitation system.
