Abstract

Varying severity of upper limb hemiparesis provide challenge how to design player input control in virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation systems. We designed virtual motor spaces as a novel input method in VR which amplify limited hand movement for a Whack-A-Mole game. Results from an initial pilot study showed that participants were able to reach the same number of targets in the same amount of time. The virtual motorspaces aim to facilitate rehabilitation and for neuropsychological comparison of patient performance despite differing severity of hemiparesis.
