Virtual Reality for the Diagnosis of Motor Disorders Immersive virtual reality (VR) refers to situations where individuals interact with computer-generated environments. To facilitate this interaction, the position of a VR headset and hand-held controllers are tracked with high spatial and temporal precision. This high-quality tracking may offer scientists and clinicians the opportunity to quantitatively evaluate aspects motor control outside of a laboratory setting in a dynamic, adaptable, and engaging environment. Here, we present data showing the feasibility of a VR circle tracing task directed at quantifying the movements of the upper limbs, which was co-developed with stroke survivors. This task is not only able to distinguish between the dominant and non-dominant hands of uninjured participants, but is feasible for use in typically-developing children, children with neurodevelopmental disorders, and adult stroke survivors. |
