Abstract

Objective: To present an augmented reality system's architecture and training protocol, designed to provide visual stimuli for shoulder exercises. Methods: A low-cost mixed reality system was developed to provide motor imagery through a three-dimensional virtual arm that replaces the image of the user's real arm in the mirror image on the computer screen. A protocol was proposed, and three participants with chronic stroke with different left hemiparesis levels participating the system's longitudinal study. Range of motion measurements was obtained at the beginning and end of each session. Results: Changes in participants' range of motion with mild and medium-level hemiparesis were observed. The participant's range of motion with total (severe) paralysis did not change. Conclusion: The augmented reality system is suitable for participants with different levels of upper limb paralysis.
