Abstract

The activities of daily living (ADLs) encompass self-care tasks that often rely on upper limb function. Stroke, or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), and musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) can compromise these ADLs, necessitating rehabilitation therapy. However, many individuals exhibit poor adherence to prescribed therapies, which exacerbates their conditions and further impairs upper limb functionality. To tackle this challenge, we devised a software tool that integrates a mathematical model with haptic interfaces within a Unity-developed game for the Meta Quest 2 platform. Validation by physiotherapists indicated successful results, affirming its utility as an effective tool for upper limb rehabilitation therapy.
