Virtual Reality and Hand Exoskeleton for Mirror Therapy: a Feasibility Study (VRHEM)

Abstract (Deutsch)

We propose a feasibility study where virtual reality and wearable robotics are integrated in a potential tool for neuro-rehabilitation of hand motor impairments. We posit that recreating the impaired hand motion in virtual reality and inducing it with an exoskeleton, the therapy efficacy increases.
