User-requirements for an in-home, augmented reality, physical rehabilitation tool for an aging population
FY 2022-23 · 2022-09-01
Summary
Older adults experience barriers to achieving full postoperative potential during conventional, unsupervised in-home therapy, underscoring the need for innovative rehabilitation tools after total joint replacement (TJR). Before developing a vision-based in-home AR rehabilitation system to address this need, we must first understand the patient, condition, and needs. We will explore user perceptions, contexts, and preferences for an in-home rehabilitation system PAGE 4 after TJR; and obtain recommendations on user-interface design of the system. Our findings will guide NRC and collaborators in developing and implementing a prototype system. Long term, the system will support older adults to remain living at home by providing a user-applicable tool for rebuilding strength and mobility after a TJR procedure. Regaining sufficient mobility will increase participation in daily activities and in the community after TJR. Furthermore, monitoring for early signs of postoperative complications will ensure early treatment and medical intervention, avoiding crisis situations that may result in re-hospitalizations.

Description (French)
Les personnes âgées ayant subi une arthroplastie totale (AT) se heurtent à divers obstacles qui les empêchent de réaliser leur plein potentiel postopératoire lorsqu’elles suivent une thérapie conventionnelle et non supervisée à domicile, ce qui souligne la nécessité de disposer d’outils de réadaptation innovants. Avant d’élaborer un système de rééducation à réalité augmentée fondé sur la vision et capable de répondre à ce besoin, il convient de comprendre le patient, son état et ses besoins. Nous examinerons les perceptions des utilisateurs, leurs contextes et leurs préférences en ce qui concerne les systèmes de rééducation à domicile prescrits à la suite d’une AT, et tâcherons de formuler des recommandations concernant la conception de l’interface utilisateur du système. Nos résultats aideront le CNRC et ses collaborateurs à élaborer et mettre en œuvre un prototype de ce système. À long terme, le système permettra aux personnes âgées de continuer à vivre chez elles en leur permettant de recouvrer leurs forces et leur mobilité à la suite d’une AT, de vaquer ainsi plus facilement à leurs activités quotidiennes et de réintégrer plus rapidement leur collectivité. De plus, la surveillance des signes précoces de complications post-opératoires permettra d’intervenir plus rapidement et d’éviter les situations de crise qui pourraient conduire à une réhospitalisation.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
