Stroke survivors often require a lengthy and costly rehabilitation regimen to regain some of the hand function lost due to stroke. Financial, travel, and scheduling issues can limit access to clinical therapy, thereby depriving individuals of care. Interventions are needed which can extend from the clinic into the home. Home-based rehabilitation strategies, however, must promote sensorimotor learning while maintaining user engagement. Virtual reality, in combination with actuated orthoses, has the potential to provide solutions to these issues. The orthosis can facilitate appropriate therapy while the virtual reality can provide a conduit for maintaining human interaction and engagement in the home environment. In this paper, we describe the development of such an integrated system for hand and upper extremity rehabilitation.
中风幸存者通常需要漫长且昂贵的康复疗程，以恢复因中风而丧失的部分手部功能。经济、出行和时间安排等问题会限制获得临床治疗的机会，从而使患者得不到护理。需要能够从诊所延伸至家庭的干预措施。然而，基于家庭的康复策略必须在促进感觉运动学习的同时，保持用户的参与度。虚拟现实与主动式矫形器相结合，有可能为这些问题提供解决方案。矫形器可促进适当的治疗，而虚拟现实可为在家庭环境中保持人际互动和参与度提供途径。在本文中，我们描述了这样一种用于手部和上肢康复的集成系统的开发情况。
