本研究旨在探討應用虛擬實境與震動覺回饋於中風患者手指靈活度之復健成效改善。吾人開發一個可攜式的震動覺回饋手套，搭配打地鼠以及敲音符遊戲的虛擬實境端，誘發患者直覺式敲壓行為來達到復健的目的。此系統的特點為藉由裝配震動馬達提示患者手指如何施力，並以力量感測器量測患者每次的手指力道，記錄每次力量以評估患者的改善情況。本研究與台北馬偕醫院復健科的物理治療師合作進行相關臨床實驗，並請所招募的中風患者穿戴本研究所設計之震動覺回饋手套，探討比較有、無震動覺的成效差異以及重複復健練習手部能力的差異，實驗結果證實使用震動刺激患側可增加患者的反應速度。

This study aims to develop a fine motor training glove that integrate a virtual re-ality based interactive environment with vibrotactile feedback for more effective post stroke hand rehabilitation. The proposed haptic rehabilitation device is equipped with small DC vibration motors for vibrotactile feedback stimulation and piezoresistive thin-film pressure sensors for motor function evaluation. Two virtual- reality based games, “gopher hitting” and “musical note hitting”, were developed as a haptic inter-face. According to the designed rehabilitation program, patients intuitively push and practice their fingers to improve the finger isolation function. This study has been cooperated with the physical therapists in Taipei MacKay Memorial Hospital for clin-ical trials. The recruited stroke patients were asked to wear our developed vibrotactile glove for a series of clinical tests. This study specifically discusses the effectiveness of adding vibrotactile feedback and the efficiency of repeated hand rehabilitation. The experiments confirm that giving vibration stimulations at the affected side can in-crease the reaction response of stroke patients.
