Skill transfer in prosthesis use training on virtual reality
The aim of this research is to study the transfer of prosthesis use and motor skills from game-based virtual reality (VR) training to real world prosthesis use and activities of daily living. Through virtual reality training, people living with limb loss can practice operating a virtual prosthesis in the period where they are not able to wear one, do not have access to one, or are evaluating a different prosthesis.
Project in collaboration with the University of Melbourne, the Alfred Hospital, the Royal Melbourne Hospital, APC Prosthetics, and Ottobock.
