applications as alternative intervention techniques for motor rehabilitation for researchers
and clinicians involved in rehabilitation engineering. The study specifically focused on the
effect of using virtual environment to improve ambulatory function in stroke patients, and
investigated whether the skills gained from the environment transfer to real-world
conditions. A virtual reality system was developed to train stroke patients with lower
extremity problems (Akinladejo, 2005, 2007). The product of the research study was
developed using the i-glasses PC 3D HR Head Mounted Display and the Polhemus
electromagnetic tracker system.
