Virtual Reality Environment Based Cognitive Rehabilitation System

Research on computer-based cognitive rehabilitation is being pursued in a variety of ways. In the case of existing rehabilitation support systems, the system has been assisted by general information rather than information related to the individual patient. In addition, a three dimensional virtual reality based cognitive rehabilitation treatment system rather than a two dimensional space needs to be studied. In the case of dementia treatment, it is known that the use of information related to individual patients is more effective than general information. Especially, the effect of personal information based reminiscence therapy has been studied in various fields. In this paper, we propose a virtual reality environment based rehabilitation support system by personal information. For cognitive rehabilitation treatment of dementia patients, we propose three scenarios based on virtual reality. In the proposed system, dementia patients can perform exercise therapy through cognitive rehabilitation treatment and motion based training in the virtual reality world. We use image based personal information among various personal information. The proposed virtual reality based cognitive rehabilitation system is relatively easy to adapt because it uses pictures of the patient with dementia.
