Our Product

We designed and developed exclusive Virtual Reality game-based rehabilitation product with different stages based on upper extremity rehabilitation for post stroke patients to increase the range of motion in the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints. The basis of the game instruction is to grab the balls of different colors that are showed on the monitor, hold them and throw them into the baskets of the same color at the bottom of the screen. The difficulty of the game increases as the stages go on and the patient is rewarded after every successful movement.
Following factors make our Virtual Reality game-based product unique
  1. Our game-based product can be adjusted by the physiotherapist according to the patient assessment.
  2. ROM assessment in shoulder joints and elbows are displayed and recorded (real-time) on the screen and can be monitored at any time.
  3. By comparing pre-assessment and post-assessment of the patient’s ROM we can judge our rehabilitation efficiency.
  4. The time in which patient spends at each stage of grabbing, holding, and dropping the balls is recorded and used as a measure of Muscular Function & Fatiguability.
