Conventional self-care training for the disabled that is performed in settings with real objects creates potential problems of safety, efficiency and cost effectiveness. The School of Nursing has thus developed a versatile virtual-reality haptic platform that provides force sensation in self-care training. This not only facilitates hand movement, eye-hand coordination and dexterity training in cyber space for people with hand impairments, but also enhances realism and improves learning performance.
The haptic platform for self-care training
Some activities of daily living such as opening a door with a key, pouring water into a glass and handwriting or drawing have already been implemented on the platform. It can be further extended to other applications such as vocational rehabilitation.
