A Taxonomy for Augmented and Mixed Reality Applications to Support Physical Exercises in Medical Rehabilitation—A Literature Review
In the past 20 years, a vast amount of research has shown that Augmented and Mixed Reality applications can support physical exercises in medical rehabilitation. In this paper, we contribute a taxonomy, providing an overview of the current state of research in this area. It is based on a comprehensi...

description | In the past 20 years, a vast amount of research has shown that Augmented and Mixed Reality applications can support physical exercises in medical rehabilitation. In this paper, we contribute a taxonomy, providing an overview of the current state of research in this area. It is based on a comprehensive literature review conducted on the five databases Web of Science, ScienceDirect, PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and ACM up to July 2021. Out of 776 identified references, a final selection was made of 91 papers discussing the usage of visual stimuli delivered by AR/MR or similar technology to enhance the performance of physical exercises in medical rehabilitation. The taxonomy bridges the gap between a medical perspective (Patient Type, Medical Purpose) and the Interaction Design, focusing on Output Technologies and Visual Guidance. Most approaches aim to improve autonomy in the absence of a therapist and increase motivation to improve adherence. Technology is still focused on screen-based approaches, while the deeper analysis of Visual Guidance revealed 13 distinct, reoccurring abstract types of elements. Based on the analysis, implications and research opportunities are presented to guide future work. |
