Abstract

Advancements in rehabilitation medicine have created demand for hemiplegia recovery. Traditional methods suffer from monotony and low compliance. Augmented Reality (AR) technology provides immersive training and real-time feedback, enhancing patient engagement. AR-integrated devices like rehabilitation gloves enable personalized training for impaired hand functions.
