The Use of Mobile Visual and Auditory Technologies to Implement Augmented Reality Tasks for Vestibular Physical Therapy

Abstract

The Military Health System (MHS) has made investments in developing multimodal virtual reality (VR) systems that can address the unique challenges faced by patients suffering from vestibular and sensory issues related to traumatic brain injury (TBI). VR systems have emerged as tools in rehabilitation that can be used independently or as an adjunct to traditional TBI therapies. The Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) is a fixed, large-scale, sophisticated VR-based system that allows patients to interact with virtual environments using body movement.
