ELEMENTS: A Virtual-Reality Augmented Workspace for Movement Rehabilitation of Traumatic Brain Injury Patients

该项目的广泛目标是设计、开发和评估一个名为Elements的交互式虚拟环境(VE)，该环境支持创伤性脑损伤(TBI)患者的运动评估和康复。我们将利用运动控制和学习的神经基础的现有知识来创建VES，这将有助于重新训练患者的多模式空间感、他们在其中的位置以及对动作的预测控制。我们将调整我们的培训环境，使其适用于现成的技术，创造一种适合远程交付的治疗方法。这将使康复实践超越其目前的限制。

The broad aim of the project is to design, develop and evaluate an interactive virtual environment (VE) called ELEMENTS that supports movement assessment and rehabilitation for patients recovering from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). We will use current knowledge of the neural basis of movement control and learning to create VEs that will help re-train patients' sense of multimodal space, their position within it, and the predictive control of actions. We will adapt our training environments for use on readily available technologies, creating a treatment method amenable to remote delivery. This will extend rehabilitation practices beyond their current constraints.
