如今，中风是世界上导致成人严重残疾的最常见原因之一。虚拟现实和触觉技术已成为有效诊断和康复干预的有前途的辅助工具。本文的目的是在一个框架之上开发和测试一组五个虚拟练习，该框架专为手部损伤患者的诊断和康复而设计。我们在完善的常见练习（即捷成手功能测试和盒子和块测试）的基础上实施了以任务为导向的练习。其中包括移动杯子、排列积木、走迷宫、用哑铃训练以及抓住橡皮球。此外，还为每个练习提出了关键绩效指标（指标），以定量评估和判断中风患者的绩效。我们对这些练习的评估显示出为健康受试者定义“黄金”参考指标的巨大潜力，并与患者的表现进行比较。这将有助于职业治疗师评估患者进展的能力。
Nowadays, stroke is one of the most frequent causes of severe adult disability in the world. Virtual reality and haptic technologies have emerged as promising assistive tools for effective diagnosis and rehabilitation intervention. The objective of this paper is to develop and test a set of five virtual exercises on top of a framework, which is designed for the diagnosis and rehabilitation of patients with hand impairments. We have implemented task-oriented exercises based on well-established and common exercises, namely the Jebsen Test of Hand Function and the Box and Block Test. These include moving a cup, arranging blocks, navigating a maze, training with a dumbbell, and grasping a rubber ball. Furthermore, key performance measures (metrics) are proposed for each exercise to quantitatively evaluate and judge the performance of stroke patients. Our evaluation of these exercises shows promising potential to define "golden" reference metrics for healthy subjects, against which the performance of a patient is compared. This will facilitate the ability of occupational therapists to assess the patient's progress.
