Augmented Reality Based Wrist Rehabilitation System

Abstract

Physioterapy is a long period that becomes a part of the life of people who need it. Today, the new touchless sensors have positive influence on the comfort of the rehabilitation and healing period. In addition, with the virtual/augmented reality technology, these processes are expected to be relatively more advanced. This study presents a novel physiotherapy system that increases the interaction of the subject with the virtual scene by matching the 3D geometry of the scene with the subject's position. Besides, the developed game based on the Leap Motion, a touchless sensor, describes a new measuring metric for augmented reality. Finally, this article represents an example of augmented reality concept in the field of physiotherapy.
