An Augmented Reality Application for Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Supported by a Robotic Arm

Abstract

This work looks at the potential use of a robotic arm and augmented reality application, with a head-mounted display, in an upper-limb rehabilitation context. A sample application using a robotic simulator and a cross-sectional study using a real robotic arm are shown. Results from the usability evaluation are positive and encourage further development, but some identified problems must be corrected before further evaluations.
