Abstract: Non-immersive virtual reality feedback during rehabilitation has been shown to be applicable and acceptable for patients who have suffered a stroke. However, assessment of this type of technology has been focused on the exploratory phase and there has been limited investigation into the use of non-immersive VR feedback in routine clinical environments. Further, the majority of research has been focused on stroke rehabilitation and there has been limited assessment of feasibility and acceptability of this feedback with other patient populations. Therefore, the aim of this study was to design a non-immersive virtual reality feedback tool for routine clinical use and determine the acceptability with patients undergoing orthopaedic rehabilitation. An optical tracking based motion capture system and a visualisation development package were used to create bespoke visual feedback for three standard orthopaedic rehabilitation exercises (sit to stand, step up and weight transfer).
