Augmented Reality Helps Neurologic Rehabilitation

As part of her outpatient physical therapy treatment, Christine uses augmented reality (AR) technology to move and engage with her (augmented) environment.

Through the glasses, Christine boxes two pillars with the goal of knocking objects off the top. This activity helps her reach, shift weight, change direction quickly, maintain her balance and reduce her risk of falls at home and in the community.

Good Shepherd Rehabilitation is a leading user of Strolll’s AR technology, which offers patients an immersive way to receive rehabilitation for diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, stroke, brain injuries or even general balance dysfunction. Good Shepherd therapists utilize Strolll’s AR-based exercises to enhance treatment plans for a variety of patients, offering a blend of traditional care and modern technology.

The AR glasses blend virtual elements with patients’ real-world environment to create a variety of therapeutic activities. For example, patients can engage in exercises like playing basketball to promote motor skill recovery. The technology also tracks progress through real-time data, enabling clinicians to adjust treatment plans as needed.
