Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, we have seen a growing interest in Virtual Rehabilitation, which offers new opportunities in the field of rehabilitation by using Virtual Reality or different sensors that enable virtual health. Virtual Rehabilitation can improve adherence to rehabilitation programs compared with standard approaches, reduce the required patient travel, increase measurements, and improve patient outcomes. It may enable more rural patients and early-discharge patients to participate in controlled programs of therapy at home or in their communities. Recent advances in sensors and Virtual Reality technologies have made Virtual Rehabilitation increasingly available and reliable in health care and monitoring.
This Special Issue, therefore, aims to put together original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in the field of sensing in Virtual Rehabilitation.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Implementation and assessment of sensor systems in virtual rehabilitation;
- Novel technical solutions in Virtual Rehabilitation;
- Advanced methodologies in healthcare using virtual rehabilitation;
- Sensors to monitor patients’ conditions.
Prof. Dr. Martin Ferguson-Pell
