Analysis of Amputee Gait using Virtual Reality Rehabilitation Techniques.

This research expands the use of virtual reality systems to amputee rehabilitation. A virtual reality system with performance metrics was designed, developed and tested. This virtual reality system integrated real time kinematic data into a virtual reality system.

This resulted in a dissertation: D'Angelo, M.S. (2010). Analysis of Amputee Gait using Virtual Reality Rehabilitation Techniques. Unpublished Dissertation Wright State University, Dayton, OH.
