Analysis of Low-Cost Virtual and Augmented Reality Technology in Case of Motor Rehabilitation

We evaluated the effectiveness of Low-cost Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) and Desktop Augmented Reality (DAR) in Motor Rehabilitation of Spasmodic Torticollis (ST) with a case study of 12 subjects. Goal: To verify by functional (kinesiological) criteria and computational criteria (interaction and i...

Summary:We evaluated the effectiveness of Low-cost Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) and Desktop Augmented Reality (DAR) in Motor Rehabilitation of Spasmodic Torticollis (ST) with a case study of 12 subjects. Goal: To verify by functional (kinesiological) criteria and computational criteria (interaction and involvement) which was the best approach technique for the treatment of ST. Method: The comparative cross-sectional study method was applied, analyzing a cut of the moment of the subjects compared with control groups at the same moment. Result: The two technologies, IVR and DAR are presented as an instrument that adds a playful object to the therapy and favors the active participation of the patient during the treatment. However, IVR tends to have higher fidelity for range of motion data generation.
