Despite available pharmacological treatments, the patients often require ongoing, supervised rehabilitation. Thus, therapists are constantly searching for new, effective ways of improving functional performance and quality of life without frequently visiting medical centers. One of the most promising methods is remote telerehabilitation enhanced with an immersive\n            <jats:bold>augmented reality (AR)<\/jats:bold>\n            interface. Here, we investigated the effectiveness of using a commercially available AR system in MS patients\u2019 treatment. To evaluate such an approach to rehabilitation, we conducted a medical study with 30 MS patients undergoing immunomodulatory treatment. In this study, we evaluated the influence on the patients\u2019 upper limbs\u2019 hand grip strength and efficiency of the patients\u2019 upper limbs. In addition, we also analyzed the level of neurotrophins to assess the potential impact of the training on the brain plasticity process. Our results show that rehabilitation enhanced with AR significantly improves the strength and efficiency of the patients\u2019 upper limbs. Furthermore, we further infer that AR-enhanced systems are a promising possibility of training without leaving home.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3560822","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,31]],"date-time":"2022-08-31T12:36:06Z","timestamp":1661949366000},"page":"1-14","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Towards Effective Telerehabilitation: Assessing Effects of Applying Augmented Reality in Remote Rehabilitation of Patients Suffering from Multiple Sclerosis"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1353-3829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Pruszy\u0144ska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic and Post Traumatic Rehabilitation, Medical University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0049-8107","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Milewska-J\u0119drzejczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Stroke, Medical University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0109-4331","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Igor","family":"Bednarski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Stroke, Medical University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0189-7652","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Szpakowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Stroke, Medical University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1305-1494","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrzej","family":"G\u0142\u0105bi\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Stroke, Medical University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0455-4062","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u0142awomir Konrad","family":"Tadeja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Applied Computer Science, Jagiellonian University, Poland"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/1806338.1806448"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Rehabilitation Engineering & Assistive Technology (i-CREATe\u201911)","author":"Aung Yee Mon","year":"2011","unstructured":"Yee Mon Aung and Adel Al-Jumaily. 2011.
