Development of an Art Program with Feed Back Systems Reflecting Achievement Levels in Rehabilitation Exercises (2)

Psychological Effect of a Rehabilitation Device Encouraging Squatting Movements

Abstract

We developed an art program that connects rehabilitation exercises with the creation of art. The art program is called “Let’s stand up and draw art in the sky!” and utilizes a virtual reality head-mounted display device (Oculus Rift) to create artwork in the device’s display area through the movements of sitting down and standing up. When the subjects used the program they reported a significant increase in feelings of comfort level after the exercises, compared to when they performed the exercises without the art program.
