This study integrates Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) with Gait Rehabilitation Robotics (GRR) using the Lokomat system and a head-mounted display. The synchronized setup immerses patients in a virtual environment reflecting their physical movements. Fifteen patients with neurological impairments performed tasks combining head movements with lower limb activity while walking in Lokomat. Feedback from satisfaction questionnaires showed strong acceptance and enjoyment of IVR-enhanced sessions. Physiotherapists also saw IVR as a valuable tool for future clinical use, suggesting its integration into standard rehabilitation protocols. These results highlight IVR’s potential in enhancing GRR sessions, prompting further investigation and development for rehabilitation applications.

摘要

This study integrates Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) with Gait Rehabilitation Robotics (GRR) using the Lokomat system and a head-mounted display. The synchronized setup immerses patients in a virtual environment reflecting their physical movements. Fifteen patients with neurological impairments performed tasks combining head movements with lower limb activity while walking in Lokomat. Feedback from satisfaction questionnaires showed strong acceptance and enjoyment of IVR-enhanced sessions. Physiotherapists also saw IVR as a valuable tool for future clinical use, suggesting its integration into standard rehabilitation protocols. These results highlight IVR’s potential in enhancing GRR sessions, prompting further investigation and development for rehabilitation applications.
