McCormack, Kirsti ; Fitzgerald, Diarmaid ; FitzGerald, Oliver ; Caulfield, Brian ; O'Huiginn, Brendan ; Smyth, Barry (Oxford Journals, 2009-04)

There is a need to increase long-term exercise compliance amongst rheumatology patients to improve symptoms and quality of life. Exergaming systems, (computer video-game based exercise) could provide these patients with a ...
Development and user evaluation of a virtual rehabilitation system for wobble board balance training

Fitzgerald, Diarmaid ; Trakarnratanakul, Nanthana ; Dunne, Lucy ; Smyth, Barry ; Caulfield, Brian (IEEE Press, 2008)

We have developed a prototype virtual reality based balance training system using a single inertial orientation sensor attached to the upper surface of a wobble board. This input device has been interfaced with an open ...
A virtual rehabilitation system for wobble board balance training with children

Fitzgerald, Diarmaid ; Trakarnratanakul, Nanthana ; Conroy, Luke ; Nixon, Paddy ; Caulfield, Brian (IEEE, 2008-08)

Virtual reality-based computer games may be a useful way to develop motor skills and increase activity levels in children. We have developed an interactive computer platform where users must tilt a wobble board to ...
