Patients rarely receive any guidance aside from a
leaflet of sketches or static photographs to instruct them on the way to complete
their exercises. This results in poor adherence, with patients becoming anxious
about not getting the exercise right, or just becoming bored by the repetitiveness of the movements.
Virtual Reality technology combined with 3D motion
capture allows real movements to be accurately translated onto an avatar which
will be viewed during a virtual environment. The researches were constantly
performing on it whether this technology is often wont to provide guidance to
physiotherapy patients, by providing a virtual physiotherapist within the home to
demonstrate the prescribed exercises.
Researchers had to research whether people were
ready to accurately coordinate and follow the movements of an avatar during a
virtual environment. They asked participants to step in time with an avatar
viewed through a VR headset.
Researches were happening and located that
participants struggled to stay in time if only visual information was present.
Then, they added realistic footstep sounds additionally to the visual information, the more realistic
multisensory information allowed participants to accurately follow it.
