VR REHABILITATION SYSTEM
An immersive VR rehabilitation system where stroke patients use a yoyo-mechanism sword controller to 'fish' in virtual coral reefs. The balloon-like buoyancy resistance provides progressive motor therapy while patients slash through invasive seaweed and collect virtual fish species.
"A patient who hasn't been able to fully raise their arm for months slashes the virtual sword upward and watches dozens of colorful fish explode into balloon-like bubbles that float toward the surface — and then realizes they just completed a full arm extension they couldn't do 10 minutes ago."
