Virtual reality training system for upper limb rehabilitation

Abstract

In recent years, with the development of medicine, the survival rate of stroke has been greatly improved, but the number of patients with motor dysfunction caused by stroke is increasing now. Rehabilitation training is the most effective medical means. Virtual reality technology provides three technical means for rehabilitation training: repetition, feedback and motivation. Studies have shown that virtual reality has unique advantages in restoring motor function, and can achieve good therapeutic effect. Patients can learn many practical motor skills in virtual environment. This paper designs a virtual rehabilitation training scene for upper limb rehabilitation and combines it with an upper limb rehabilitation robot. The immersive virtual reality system, which realizes three-dimensional display of virtual scene, could increase the immersion feeling of patients. Patients observe the virtual scene 360 degrees with HMD, and interact with the virtual scene through rehabilitation robot. The virtual reality rehabilitation training system could satisfy various training modes, and patients could carry out targeted rehabilitation treatment.
