Usability Evaluation of the RehabMarket: A CAVE-Based Game for Stroke Rehabilitation

Stroke is a major global cause of death and disability, with a range of rehabilitation approaches currently available. One such approach is Virtual Reality (VR), which has shown potential for improving rehabilitation outcomes in a more engaging and motivating way. In this paper, we introduce the RehabMarket, a VR-based activity using a CAVE system to stimulate limb movements and cognitive training for stroke survivors. We conducted a usability evaluation study of the RehabMarket with 10 healthy participants, and the results showed a high level of usability. These findings suggest that the RehabMarket is nearly ready for testing with stroke survivors, and could potentially provide an effective and engaging form of rehabilitation therapy for this population.
