Development of 3D rehabilitation environment that contributes to higher brain dysfunction

Abstract

Mirror rehabilitation is an effective rehabilitation for hemiplegic patients with higher brain dysfunction. However, problems have been pointed out with this rehabilitation. For example, it has been pointed out that it is difficult to standardize the effect and cure rate due to the influence of disturbance during rehabilitation. In our laboratory, it is possible to acquire finger-space coordinates without contact using LabVIEW (National Instrument) and LEAP MOTION (LEAP MOTION, hereinafter L.M.). In this report, we project the pseudo finger object using the obtained finger space coordinates by the head mounted display. By constructing a rehabilitation environment in a closed space, we aim at the development and construction of a 3D rehabilitation support system to improve the problems envisioned in rehabilitation.
