The Virtual reality in physiotherapeutic performance diagnostics - Programming and validation of the VR Reach test to assess eye-hand coordination

  • Digitization is increasingly shifting the manpower from the primary and secondary to the tertiary sector. According to the World Bank, 70.92% of the German workforce was employed in the service sector in 2015, compared with almost two thirds in Poland (57.75%). Therefore, the developed "Labor Market 4.0" demands a new motor requirement profile. Here, the coordinative skills become increasingly important, whereas the conditional skills slide in the background. The resulting "Physiotherapy 4.0" will be defined by a closer interlock between therapy and information and communication technologies. Thus, in neurological rehabilitation, e.g. of stroke patients, Virtual Reality (VR) has already been successfully used as therapy support. In addition, there are promising opportunities for VR in the field of diagnostics. With that in mind, a virtual test battery for the assessment of occupation-specific motor skills will be developed, which focalizes on the coordinative abilities.

One of its components is the "VR Reach Test". It is based on the Method-Time Measurement (MTM) system and diagnoses the "Reach" skill. The productivity (in Time Measurement Units) and the reaction rate are measured. Those parameters provide information about the level of eye-hand coordination under time pressure. The programming and validation will take place in several steps.show moreshow less
