Rehabilitation training is, therefore, used as an auxiliary method to mitigate the exacerbation of individual tremors. Video-based rehabilitation training is a form of therapy that allows patients to exercise at home, reducing pressure on rehabilitation institutions\u2019 resources. However, it has limitations in directly guiding and monitoring patients\u2019 rehabilitation, leading to an ineffective training effect. This study proposes a low-cost rehabilitation training system that utilizes optical see-through augmented reality (AR) technology to enable tremor patients to conduct rehabilitation training at home. The system provides one-on-one demonstration, posture guidance, and training progress monitoring to achieve an optimal training effect. To assess the system\u2019s effectiveness, we conducted experiments comparing the movement magnitudes of individuals with tremors in the proposed AR environment and video environment, while also comparing them with standard demonstrators. Participants wore a tremor simulation device during uncontrollable limb tremors, with tremor frequency and amplitude calibrated to typical tremor standards. The results showed that participants\u2019 limb movement magnitudes in the AR environment were significantly higher than those in the video environment, approaching the movement magnitudes of the standard demonstrators. Hence, it can be inferred that individuals receiving tremor rehabilitation in the AR environment experience better movement quality than those in the video environment. Furthermore, participant experience surveys revealed that the AR environment not only provided a sense of comfort, relaxation, and enjoyment but also effectively guided them throughout the rehabilitation process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23083924","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,13]],"date-time":"2023-04-13T02:09:21Z","timestamp":1681351761000},"page":"3924","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Supporting Tremor Rehabilitation Using Optical See-Through Augmented Reality Technology"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Kai","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Art and Design, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University, Toyonaka 5608531, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dong","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Art and Design, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6244-9167","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhe","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Education, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou 350117, China"},{"name":"Graduate School of Human Sciences, Osaka University, Suita 5650871, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhi","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Art and Design, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Graduate School of Human Sciences, Osaka University, Suita 5650871, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"959","DOI":"10.1212\/CON.0000000000000748","article-title":"Tremor","volume":"25","author":"Louis","year":"2019","journal-title":"Contin.
