[6C-03] Development of a User-friendly and Attractive Virtual Reality Program for Rehabilitation
Preliminary Evaluation of Home Rehabilitation
Keywords:Virtual Reality, Rehabilitation, Interactive Program
We have developed and evaluated an attractive VR program "Let's stand up and travel!" It is user-friendly and makes participants want to use it continuously for a long time. The program allows users to perform standing and sitting rehabilitation while watching landscape images from all over the world as if they were traveling. In addition, we have realized universal designs in the progress of the program and the operation of the equipment. When an elderly person performed rehabilitation using this program for seven days in their own home, the average scores of "Level of Vitality", "Level of Stability", and "Level of Pleasure" increased significantly before and after exercise, and the effect of the program was confirmed.
