MEDICAL: Development of Immersive Training Environments for Myoelectric Prosthetics Project

ÖzU VR Lab puts efforts to contribute to upper limb myoelectric prosthesis training. Since conventional training methods for prosthetics fall short and need improvement for amputees, modifying traditional training methods towards Immersive Virtual Reality environments will help produce better results concerning prosthetics adoption. Moreover, adding the element of gamification can improve patient motivation and learning outcomes. Considering these facts, it is necessary to study if upper limb prosthesis training can be improved through gamified immersive virtual reality and how such an environment should be formed.
