Review of Application of Highly Interactive and Immersive Computing Technologies for Enhancement of Post-Stroke Survivor’s Rehabilitation

The objective of stroke rehabilitation exercises is to expand patients’ recovery of neurologic functions, functional independence, and Activities of Daily Living (ADL). The multidisciplinary treatment band, such as physical and occupational rehabilitation, and speech pathology, exploits several traditional healing interventions to augment impulsive neurologic and functional improvement after the arrival of stroke. With an increasingly frequency of residual disability among stroke survivors; neuro-rehabilitation continues to be one of the keystones of post-stroke therapy. It contributes to effectively lessening the long-standing effects of stroke and accomplishing optimal functional retrieval for community reintegration. Various factors like financial, environmental, and personal hindrances limit the effectiveness of conventional treatment methods particularly for adult post-stroke. Comparatively, technology based rehabilitation techniques are believed to fairly improve outcomes than conventional treatment method. Artificial Intelligence is been used in fields like diagnosis, medical, etc. Stroke diagnosis and treatment is one such important area to be considered in application of AI, for recuperating the accurateness of diagnosis and the good quality of patients’ care. This paper reviews the application of highly interactive and immersive computing technologies like (VR) Virtual Reality, (AR) Augmented Reality, imaging and AI in providing an attractive and motivating means for enhancement of post stroke rehabilitation treatment.
