Investigation of In-home Augmented Reality assisted Rehabilitation Therapies for Disabled Patient

Rehabilitation is the key process in bringing back the cognitive, mental, or physical functions of the disabled persons mainly caused by the effects of accidents, diseases, medical treatment side effects, etc. The conventional rehabilitation process is highly monotonous and uninspired among the patients which in turn pretend to use such methods. To overcome these limitations in the traditional methods of the rehabilitation process, Augmented Reality (AR) is introduced in this field. AR provides comfortable experience in handling the applications for both patients and medical therapists. This research article provides complete insight into AR technology in various rehabilitation applications, its major design and deployment challenges. It also highlights the major concentration of adapting AR methodologies in clinical practices for in-home usage by the patients in a convenient manner.
