We propose CeVRicale, a cervical rehabilitation application based on the use of virtual reality (VR). CeVRicale is smartphone-based, thus it may be available to larger shares of population when compared to those applications that are implemented for head mounted displays such as HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. The app exploits a smartphone's sensor to track head movements in five exergames inspired by rehabilitation exercises. This project is the first step in a study to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of a low cost VR application in the treatment of cervical musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract
We propose CeVRicale, a cervical rehabilitation application based on the use of virtual reality (VR). CeVRicale is smartphone-based, thus it may be available to larger shares of population when compared to those applications that are implemented for head mounted displays such as HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. The app exploits a smartphone's sensor to track head movements in five exergames inspired by rehabilitation exercises. This project is the first step in a study to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of a low cost VR application in the treatment of cervical musculoskeletal disorders.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
