Development of Virtual Reality (VR) Application for Fine Motor Stroke Rehabilitation

Virtual Reality Technology (VR) is one of the technologies that is often used as a platform that can be used to generate virtual environment for learning and practice in the field of medicine and rehabilitation. The objective of this study is to analyze the patient's perspective on application of stroke rehabilitation exercises for Fine Motor. In this study, we introduced a framework using VR technology with markerless motion sensors developed via the ADDIE model that consists of five phases: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. 30 patients have undergone rehabilitation sessions using VR applications in the Kuala Nerus Rehabilitation and Hemodialysis Health Organization. The study found that VR technology with markerless motion sensor implementation as a rehabilitation platform is positively accepted by most patients. However, the possibility of this VR application totally replacing manual rehabilitation is still arguable. The overall PSSUQ rating also achieve high satisfaction by scoring 1.737. An area for future study is the development towards more portable and mobile application and the usage of VR application as home-based rehabilitation platform.
