METHOD OF ASSESSING UPPER EXTREMITY EXERCISE ABILITY OF USER THROUGH REHABILITATION CONTENT AND COMPUTING APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240325854 titled 'METHOD OF ASSESSING UPPER EXTREMITY EXERCISE ABILITY OF USER THROUGH REHABILITATION CONTENT AND COMPUTING APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD
The abstract describes a method of assessing upper extremity exercise ability using virtual reality/augmented reality-based visual devices. The method provides rehabilitation content and assesses the user's exercise ability and therapy state by recognizing hand movements.
- Method assesses upper extremity exercise ability using VR/AR-based visual devices
- Provides rehabilitation content with four types of exercise assessment methods
- Recognizes hand position and shape to assess user's exercise ability and therapy state
- Simultaneously assesses user's exercise ability and therapy state
- Tailors rehabilitation content to various scenarios for effective assessment
Potential Applications: - Physical therapy and rehabilitation - Sports training and performance assessment - Occupational therapy for hand and arm injuries - Virtual reality/augmented reality gaming and entertainment
Problems Solved: - Accurate assessment of upper extremity exercise ability - Personalized rehabilitation content delivery - Real-time monitoring of therapy progress - Enhanced user engagement and motivation in therapy sessions
Benefits: - Improved rehabilitation outcomes - Enhanced user experience with VR/AR technology - Efficient and effective therapy monitoring - Customized rehabilitation plans for individual needs
Commercial Applications: Title: Virtual Reality-Based Upper Extremity Exercise Assessment for Rehabilitation This technology can be used in: - Rehabilitation centers and clinics - Fitness and wellness centers - Sports training facilities - Virtual reality gaming and entertainment industry
Questions about Virtual Reality-Based Upper Extremity Exercise Assessment for Rehabilitation:
1. How does this technology improve the accuracy of upper extremity exercise assessment?
- This technology uses VR/AR-based visual devices to track hand movements and assess exercise ability in real time, providing more accurate data for therapy planning.
2. What are the potential long-term benefits of using virtual reality/augmented reality in rehabilitation?
- Virtual reality/augmented reality technology can enhance user engagement, motivation, and outcomes in rehabilitation, leading to better long-term recovery and functional improvement.
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed is a method of assessing an upper extremity that assesses an upper extremity exercise ability of a user by providing rehabilitation content to the user who is wearing a virtual reality (vr)/augmented reality (ar)-based visual device. the method provides the rehabilitation content including four types of exercise assessment methods according to various rehabilitation scenarios through the vr/ar-based visual device the user wears and simultaneously assesses the upper extremity exercise ability of the user and a rehabilitation therapy state by recognizing a position and a shape of a hand of the user moving while the user is wearing the vr/ar-based visual device according to the provided rehabilitation content.
