Virtual rehabilitation

In this section we can see the projects of the Computer Graphics Group at the UPV linked to the following areas:

  • Patients’ compliance with the treatment.
  • Quicker progress.
  • Objective monitoring.
  • Custom-designed treatment.

Projects

  • VICOMO: Modelado de Contexto Visual / VICOMO: Visual Context Modeling

Responsible researchers: José Enrique Simó Ten, Roberto Vivó, Francisco José Abad, Ramón Mollá.

Code: TSI-020400-2009-133

Project Duration: 23/03/09 – 23/01/11

Description: In this project we propose a new augmented virtuality framework where the synthetic scenario is populated with the information coming from the real-world. Our proposal is based on a smart camera which processes the images to detect objects. With this information, our framework relies on the collisions of the optical rays with the scenario to locate the detected objects. Our solution is also capable of handling situations where objects are piled on others.

  • Banco de trabajo como herramienta para la Neurorehabilitación / Work bench as a tool for Neurorehabilitation

Responsibles researchers: Francisco José Abad, M. Carmen Juan, Emilio Camahort, Ramón Mollá.

Code: PAID-06-08-3308

Project Duration: 04/12/2008-04/12/2010

Description: The UPV has developed multi-touch screens for the rehabilitation of patients with brain damage. Researchers at the Institute of Automation and Industrial Computing (Instituto ai2) of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) have developed an interactive multitouch platform for the treatment and rehabilitation of neurological pathologies, with the aim of improving the cognitive functions of people who have suffered a traumatic brain injury or a stroke.

It is a prototype workbench with multi-touch screen with which the patient can interact using only their hands and which incorporates much more attractive exercises than those currently used in neurorehabilitation therapies, “said Francisco Abad, researcher of the ai2 Institute.

Multi-touch screens for the rehabilitation of patients with brain damage

Responsible researchers: M. Carmen Juan, Vicente Colomer Grau, Luis Mariano.

Project duration: 2005

Description: Augmented reality systems give users a feeling of presence and reality judgment that can be exploited to treat some psychological disorders.
