Abstract
We developed an interactive program “Let’s stand up and draw art in the sky!” that connects rehabilitation exercises with the changes images of virtual reality device. The level of rehabilitation exercise achieved in the outcome of the resulting artwork is reflected as feedback to encourage patients to perform their movements of rehabilitation exercises. When inpatients at a recovery-phase rehabilitation hospital performed sitting-down and standing-up exercises as part of our proposed rehabilitation program, their ratings of “Enjoyment” of their rehabilitation improved after the exercises compared with before the exercises. The average number of movements performed by patients who used the program showed that the number of movements increased. The exercises also added enjoyment to the inpatients’ long-term rehabilitation.
