AME Mixed Reality System for Stroke Rehabilitation Foundational Principles and Structure Our team has developed an adaptive, mixed reality rehabilitation (AMMR) system to train reaching and grasping movements of stroke survivors. Mixed reality therapy, combining training in virtual and physical environments, was developed to connect virtual learning to physical reality, and thus better facilitate the transfer of strategies from therapy to activities of daily living.
The AMRR system integrates rehabilitation and motor learning theories with high-resolution motion capture and sensing technologies, smart physical objects, and interactive computer graphics and sound. The AMRR system uses kinematic measurements, derived from motion capture data, to evaluate a participant’s performance and generate multiple streams of customizable audio and visual feedback.
