Description
Naoki Iso is lead author of a 2026 development and validation study of VRactice, a virtual reality system for upper-limb rehabilitation training that adds feedback on body position. Virtual reality can aid motor learning, but few studies have checked its tracking accuracy against gold-standard motion capture, especially for arm reaching with shop-bought setups.
Sixteen healthy adults, average age 25.3, performed reaching tasks while tracked at once by VRactice and by a professional Vicon system, with sensors on hand and elbow. The study compared the three-dimensional paths from both systems over the half second before peak reach. The design tests whether the cheaper virtual system measures movement closely enough for rehabilitation use.
