Stroke patients benefit from interactive therapy
A KTVK-3TV report shows how stroke victims’ rehabilitation is changing due to a partnership between Arizona State University researchers and Banner Baywood Medical Center in Mesa, Ariz.
The Mixed Reality Rehabilitation system is the work of experts in bioengineering, computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, media arts, music and psychology. The research team is led by the ASU Herberger Institute School of Arts, Media and Engineering, which is collaboration with the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.
The virtual-reality system combines patient interaction with audiovisual elements that provide patients physical therapy, helping them regain movement and sensory ability.
