Integrating Virtual Reality, EEG Signal, and Haptic Feedback to Support Post-Stroke Rehabilitation System

One of the problems in post-stroke rehabilitation is the low level of effectiveness of the supporting system caused by a lack of feedback to the patient. This problem can be improved by increasing the immersive and interactive levels of the system using an interactive system. This study utilized a system with integrated Virtual Reality (VR), haptic feedback, and Electroencephalograph (EEG). As in the previous study, a VR system can provide immersive visual feedback to the user in real-time. Also, haptic feedback can be used to pay attention to the user without disturbing the visual feedback. A BCI system has also been used as an interactive input to stimulate the user's brain nerves. This study has been carried out to integrate these three systems to work in real time. Thus, it is a single system for post-stroke rehabilitation. The study has also found that a system that integrates VR, haptic, and BCI can meet the critical factors of an interactive system: presence, immersion, interactivity, satisfaction, and usefulness.
