Abstract:

In response to the introduction of new generation technology into rehabilitation therapy, new methods and effective management approaches specifically for rehabilitation therapy are in urgent need presently. Our lab has developed a 3D virtual game environment for training which mainly integrates 3D images, active touch, and other related information. Mainly consisting of a motor rehabilitation system and a series of 3D simulated flight games, the system aims to achieve rehabilitation of pronation and supination of the arms through the patient’s control and continuous exercise. In this study, social psychological variables are used to evaluate the human-computer interaction process.
