Objective: to survey user expectations of low-cost virtual reality rehabilitation games (VRRG), and to determine factors that will enhance usability.
Process: 10 community-dwelling adults with CVA (ages 43 – 73 years; time post-stroke 3 – 13 years) were surveyed before and after exposure to low-cost VRRG. Microsoft Kinect and a P5 glove were used as low-cost interfaces for the virtual games.
Findings: The pre-game survey of the virtual games rated ease of understanding, ease of use and clinical feedback most highly. After exposure to the games, subjects rated motivation as the best aspect of the VRRG, and rated clinical effectiveness and clinical evidence as most in need of improvement, by means of a “House of Quality” matrix. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Quality
