Popis: | Objective: The paper will give an overview of our work with a haptic immersive workbench which can be used in different setting for rehabilitation. Method: Forty-eight subjects participated in three different experiments. Twenty-nine users had a stroke and 19 were healthy individuals. The intervention in the first two experiments consisted of playing three-dimensional computer games. A computerised task was developed to assess motor movement of the affected upper extremity. In the third experiment, a computerised visuospatial neglect test was developed and compared with traditional neglect tests. The subject hand position data (haptic stylus end-point, i.e. x-, y- and z-coordinates) was measured during each trial in the different experiments. Results: All experiments demonstrated that this haptic immersive workbench can provide a quantitative analysis of hand movements. The first experiment showed improvements in the computerised task. One subject improved in occupational performance, i.e. improv... |
