The RGS developed and tested a novel
virtual reality based system for the rehabilitation
at home of motor disabilities of
the upper extremities of elderly people
after stroke.
The system deployed an individualized
and specific deficit oriented game training
that combines movement execution
with the observation of a correlated action
by virtual limbs that are displayed
in a first-person perspective.
The specific project objectives were as
follows:
s Development and integration of the
hardware and software for the RGS
including the rehabilitation scenarios;
s Development of user centered and
neuroscientifically grounded diagnostic
and training scenarios;
s Evaluation of the clinical impact of
the RGS at the functional and neuronal
;
s Gathering of user requirements involving
all the stakeholders;
s Establishing the theoretical and empirical
foundation of the rehabilitation
and diagnostics methods implemented
in the system.
