They have been characterized as well for their potential promotion of physical activity (PA). Games may be designed specifically for rehabilitation, or adapted from their intended recreational use for serious application such as rehabilitation or promotion of PA. A major limitation of the commercially available games is their lack of customization of movement parameters and inability to record performance metrics that are useful for practice. They are however, considered engaging and may promote high intensity of therapy (repetitions and physiologic correlates). This study compared the performance of persons in the chronic phase post-stroke playing a custom rehabilitation game to a comparable recreational active video game. The goal of the study was to determine, which game promoted greater exercise intensity and which was more enjoyable and less effortful. Fifteen participants in the chronic phase post-stroke were studied. The recreational game was played at a significantly higher intensity, both for repetitions, and energy expenditure while the experience of playing the custom game was reported as more enjoyable and less effortful. Further, movement accuracy was greater during custom game play. While intensity for metabolic equivalents (METs) and % of maximum heart rate were significantly greater when the recreational game was played, both games were played in the same intensity band to promote moderate activity. The custom game was comparable in intensity but superior in performance, enjoyment and perception of effort. The findings support efforts to develop custom games to promote physical activity for persons poststroke.","PeriodicalId":179905,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Virtual Rehabilitation (ICVR)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132299898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Spatial Memory Rehabilitation in Virtual Reality – Extending findings from Epilepsy Patients to the General Population","authors":"S. Maidenbaum, Ansh Patel, Elisabeth Stein, J. Jacobs","doi":"10.1109/ICVR46560.2019.8994573","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICVR46560.2019.8994573","url":null,"abstract":"Spatial memory is a critical function. Without it, we cannot understand our environment, situate ourselves within it, or remember where items are located. Most research on the neural basis of spatial memory is conducted either with invasive brain recordings from animals or with non-invasive imaging in humans. An emerging way to link these areas is by studying rare invasive recordings from the human brain, which can be obtained from epilepsy patients who have electrodes surgically implanted for seizure mapping. In recent years this invasive method has expanded our understanding of how the human brain represents space and has also suggested methods for modulating and potentially rehabilitating memory. However, it is unclear whether these results from epilepsy patients generalize to the non-epileptic population, and from testing in hospital rooms to more immersive and comfortable setups. Here, groups of epilepsy patients (n=69) and healthy participants (n=17) performed the same virtual spatial memory task, enabling us to compare their spatial memory performance. Moreover, we compared spatial memory performance between a standard computer screen versus a head-mounted display. We found that the spatial memory performance of epilepsy patients performing our task in a hospital was similar to that of matched healthy participants performing the task in the lab. Furthermore, actual spatial memory performance was similar on the group level irrespective of the interface used, despite the fact that subjects reported higher immersion with the head mounted display. By showing consistent spatial memory performance with a single paradigm across epilepsy patients and healthy participants, as well as with the use of different display modalities, our results provide a baseline for evaluating findings regarding the neural basis of spatial memory and neuromodulation for rehabilitation. More broadly, these results demonstrate that findings from neurosurgical patients are comparable to the wider population.","PeriodicalId":179905,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Virtual Rehabilitation (ICVR)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128474112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To that end, a novel VR task, the immersive Virtual Memory Task (imVMT), was developed and applied to measure the spatial memory.
