VRiAT - Virtual Rehabilitation
Hammel Neurocenter is a neurological rehabilitation clinic for patients with brain injuries or similar neurological impairments, located in Hammel, Denmark. Hammel Neurocenter rehabilitates patients, but initially, the patients’ routine exercises weren’t that engaging, and might even be painful to execute. In an effort to bring motivation and engagement into the process, Kanda paired up with Hammel Neurocenter to create VRiAT: Virtual Rehabilitation intensive Arm Training. The virtual rehabilitation not only gave patients a fun way to do their crucial exercises, but it also distracted them from the pain and yielded a positive response from all participants. The project couples virtual reality with Microsoft Kinect, that detects body- and hand movement, so that we could leverage the entirety of the patients’ movement for the exercises. A unique case of virtual reality in healthcare, VRiAT is made with engagement in mind, and employs video game mechanics (i.e. gamification), for a captivating and stimulating experience. https://www.rm.dk/om-os/initiativpris/initiativprisen/tidligere-ars-indstillinger-nominerede-og-vindere/indstillinger-til-initiativprisen-2017/vriat-virtual-reality-intensive-arm-training/
