Motor training

A computing system comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores computer program instructions executable by the processor, said instructions comprising functionality to execute a method of providing a motor training, the method comprising:

• receiving from one or more sensors an orientation of a head mounted device of a subject;
• producing a base video signal representing an avatar of the subject in a virtual reality to be exhibited on a video display of the head mounted device taking into account the orientation of the head mounted device, wherein the avatar comprises a virtual limb corresponding to a motional impaired limb of the subject;
• sending the base video signal to the head mounted device to produce on the video display of the head mounted device the avatar of the subject in the virtual reality;
• and
• in response to a trigger signal from the subject for the purpose of achieving in the subject agency over the motional impaired limb, sending to the head mounted device a pre-programmed exercise video signal representing the avatar in the virtual reality performing a moving exercise of the virtual limb aimed at rehabilitation of the motional impaired limb of the subject without there being any movement of the motional impaired limb, the exercise video signal taking into account the orientation of the head mounted display.

A system for providing a treatment session for motor training of a motional impaired limb of a subject, the system comprising

• a computing system including a memory and a processor;
• a head mounted device having a video display and, the head mounted device configured to receive a video signal from the computing system to produce images on the video display corresponding to the video signal;
• one or more sensors configured to measure an orientation of the head mounted device;
• and
• a triggering device configured to send a trigger signal to the computing system when acted on by the subject,
• wherein the memory stores computer program instructions executable by the processor, the instructions comprising functionality to execute a method of providing a motor training, the method comprising:
• receiving from the one or more sensors the orientation of a head mounted device of a subject;
• producing a base video signal representing an avatar of the subject in a virtual reality to be exhibited on the video display of the head mounted device taking into account the orientation of the head mounted device, wherein the avatar comprises a virtual limb corresponding to a motional impaired limb of the subject;
• sending the base video signal to the head mounted device to produce on the video display of the head mounted device the avatar of the subject in the virtual reality;
• and
• in response to a trigger signal from the subject for the purpose of achieving in the subject agency over the motional impaired limb, sending to the head mounted device a pre-programmed exercise video signal representing the avatar in the virtual reality performing a moving exercise of the virtual limb aimed at rehabilitation of the motional impaired limb of the subject without there being any movement of the motional impaired limb, the exercise video signal taking into account the orientation of the head mounted display.
