VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING TO ENHANCE LOCOMOTOR REHABILITION

摘要

Embodiments of the disclosed invention encompass physiological and behavioral measurement techniques that can index dynamical diseases. Embodiments include a system and method for continuously measuring locomotor patterns which may be in combination with classic summary measures of performance, compared to summary measures alone. A unique classification of mathematics may be employed to prescribe certain patterns which correspond to locomotor patterns of a test subject.

主权项

1. A method of virtual reality training for a subject, comprising:
(a) having a subject perform a motion; (b) measuring the subject's motion; (c) quantitatively characterizing the subject's measured motion to generate a movement signature; (d) comparing the subject's movement signature to a normative value for a movement signature derived from control subjects performing the same motion; and (e) having the subject observe a virtual environment while performing the motion to influence the subject's motion so as to align the subject's movement signature more closely to the normative movement signature.
