Problems to address

Physical rehabilitation

Navigation/ mobility (ex. Navigation within a store) Gaining familiarity (using required muscle) on the wheelchair. (speed, accelerate, deceleration,) https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1131319.pdf Balance -> Vestibular rehabilitation. Help balance the body better by building steadier muscle. Neurological physical therapy -> spinal cord injury, parkinsons, alzheimer. https://www.movementforlife.com/blog/6-different-types-of-physical-therapy.php Coordination https://www.statnews.com/2018/08/31/virtual-reality-physical-therapy/ Strokes

-rebuilding systems to -“Should they focus on spasticity, better movement, better balance, better motor planning, muscle fatigue, or depression” https://www.saebo.com/stroke-recovery-problems-solutions/ -A rehabilitation unit in the hospital with inpatient therapy A subacute care unit A rehabilitation hospital with individualized inpatient therapy Home therapy (remotely monitored in real time or asynchronously) - This is important for sustainability of extended period of rehabilitation Returning home with outpatient therapy A long-term care facility that provides therapy and skilled nursing care -focus on “skills like bathing, eating, dressing and walking” -not enough rehab options

-focuses on finger and hand movement as well Possibly have people line up fingers? https://www.saebo.com/a-simplified-guide-to-physical-therapy-for-strokes/

“Having a stroke breaks vital connections between your brain and your muscles, which is why it is the leading cause of long-term disability and almost always results in some loss of mobility and movement. “ -early and consistent rehab -must keep some motivated in case they don’t have the motivation -often lose use of one side, and try to keep that side toned even during so, after must work to regain ability to do everyday tasks -moving protecting impaired arm from injury, and later focusing on balance “After your discharge from a hospital or inpatient facility, your doctor may recommend acute care at home. During acute home-based physical therapy, therapists come directly to your home and work on exercises that are designed to stimulate and strengthen your muscles while retraining your healthy brain tissue.” https://www.stroke.org/we-can-help/survivors/stroke-recovery/first-steps-to-recovery/rehabilitation-therapy-after-a-stroke/ 3rd stage, slight voluntary movement 4th stage, less spastic movement, less movement, not always in sync or full, but its there and it is important to develop and work on flexibility 5th stage, complex movement combinations 6th stage, spastic movements gone 7th stage, normally functioning https://www.saebo.com/the-stages-of-stroke-recovery/

KEY features of Augmented Reality vs conventinal or Virtual reality based approaches

ADD/ADHD Literature

-) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29968607 Title: Augmented Reality Glasses and Head-Mounted Display Devices in Healthcare.

Quote: “The international scientific community encourages the usage of the AR wearable technologies like AR glasses in Healthcare.”

Regarding the ADHD there is not much. There is something related to the use of Virtual Reality

“The opportunities of virtual reality in the rehabilitation of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a literature review”, but it says nothing about AR
