Rehabilitation system with integrated visual stimulation

Abstract

The paper presents a Virtual Reality application (VR) related to a robotic assisted lower limb rehabilitation system. The considered robotic system is dedicated to the patient by performing rehabilitation exercises, that vary in terms of amplitude and duration. The patient performance is measured and the progress registered. The patient received instructions are via a VR headset. The robotic system assists a set of pre-defined exercises in parallel with a real-time control of the motion parameters. The VR exercises are reproduced within in Unity environment. The robotic structure is also represented in the VR together with the patient avatar, in order to suggest the type of exercises that must be practiced.
