A Wearable Lower Extremity Virtual Rehabilitation System for Patients' Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an under-appreciated vascular disease that has been a growing global healthcare challenge, with increasing morbidity, mortality, and associated healthcare costs. Few works have been placed on using the technology-based intervention (TBI) approach to assist patients at risk in actively completing exercise therapy for VTE Prophylaxis. We present a wearable virtual rehabilitation system that could trace and evaluate the patient's exercise therapy progress while offering an immersive experience to guide and motivate the patient to complete the training spontaneously through multi-sensory feedback.
