Virtual Reality Prosthetic Training and Rehabilitation

Completed · Early Phase 1

Conditions studied: Amputation of Upper Limb

In brief

The proposed project is to develop an effective prosthetic training and rehabilitation regimen, with the use of virtual reality, to return patients to the highest level of independence and functioning possible. The Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) system (Motek Medical, Netherlands) will be used to immerse patients into real life situations while providing real time visual feedback of their motion to improve the training and rehabilitation of upper limb prosthetic users.
