Motivation plays a great role in maintaining a consistent and effective rehabilitation routine. Gamified rehabilitation has the potential to improve conventional therapy for people with neurological impairments. It also helps patients to maintain their rehabilitation routine as it represents a more interactive rehabilitation experience. Gamified rehabilitation stimulates the mobility of the body through an immersive experience that puts the user in an interactive virtual environment.
Portable Rehab Gloves: Vrehab-M2 integrates an interactive gaming interface with a robotic glove device that detects minimal hand movement then props it up to assist the patient’s movement.
The interactive interface of the rehab gloves provides useful real-time feedback information such as the time required to grasp a desired dynamic virtual object, and the assigned score and thus the ability of the proposed system to provide a compensatory action regarding the dynamic behavior of the virtual target. All data is stored on the rehab glove console, this will help therapists to assess their patient’s improvement session by session.
The main purpose of the Portable Rehab Gloves: Vrehab-M2 is to develop a virtual environment for greater neurological stimulation. Simultaneously, the patient’s movement tracks and signals obtained from the robotic glove device are used together to monitor the recovery progress. To put it short, the robotic glove is not only a mechanical system that helps patients to perform an act but also presents an effective tracking and traceability software solution.
Portable Rehab Gloves: Vrehab-M2 is dedicated mainly to physical therapists and rehab centers to add Gamified rehabilitation to their curriculum. However, gamified rehabilitation is also accessible to patients from the comfort of their homes with the Urehab-HR. The home-based rehabilitation devices can be connected to your mobile phone to practice gamified rehabilitation.
Vendra Medical rehabilitation gloves are tested experimentally and it is able to restore the functions of the upper limb and mainly give patients more motivation to undergo the exercises.
