- Brief Summary
The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has supported CUHK to launch a three-year project 'CUHK Jockey Club HOPE4Care Programme' to implement four evidence-based advanced rehabilitation technologies in 40 local elderly day care centres and rehabilitation centres, to benefit the community.
Our research team had developed the "Augmented Reality (AR) Rehabilitation Training System" that can be used as tools for rehabilitation by individuals who have suffered from a stroke or elderly. The system facilitates an active rehabilitative exercise.

Group Intervention Description Augmented Reality Rehabilitation Training System The system provides visual and audio feedback which makes the rehabilitation training process more relaxing, interesting and convenient to guide the patients performing appropriate upper-limb, lower-limb exercises and balance training.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Berg Balance Scale Three months after the last training session Berg Balance Scale (BBS), consists of 56-level measures to examine balance ability and to predict falling risk with high reliability (ICC=0.98) (Steffen, Hacker \& Mollinger, 2002). Stroke patients were assessed based on their performance on 14 simple mobility tasks, including transfer, standing, and reaching
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Modified Ashworth Scale Three months after the last training session Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), consists of 4-level scale to examine joint spasticity based on muscle tone and resistance detected during passive stretching with good inter-rater reliability (ICC =0.85) (Bohannon \& Smith, 1987).
Functional Ambulation Category Test Three months after the last training session Functional Ambulatory Category (FAC) is a reliable measurement of independent walking ability on level-ground walking and stair ambulation, which is a good prediction of independent community walking post-stroke (Mehrholz, et al., 2007). FAC consists of 6-level scale: patients with FAC=4 requires supervision in level ground walking, FAC=5 requires supervision only when walking on non-level surface such as stairs.
Timed 10-meter Walk Test Three months after the last training session Timed 10-Meter Walk Test (10mWT), measures comfortable and fast walking speeds in short distance. The ability to increase walking speed above a comfortable pace suggests the capability to adapt to varying environments, such as crossing street, with high reliability (ICC=0.90-0.96) (Flansbjer, et al., 2005). Average walking speed of healthy elderly subjects ranges in 0.6m/s-1.4m/s, and can increase to 21%-56% above the comfortable pace for faster walking speed
6 Minute Walk Test Three months after the last training session Six-Minute Walk Test (SMWT), measures the maximum walking distance covered in fixed duration as a sub-maximal test of endurance and aerobic capacity. The measurement of 6MWT is highly correlated to FAC (Mehrholz, et al., 2007) with good reliability (ICC=0.94-0.96) (Steffen, Hacker \& Mollinger, 2002).
Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) Three months after the last training session The WMFT measures upper limb ability through timed and functional tasks. It has 17 items, ranging from 0 to 5 (worse to best).
Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) Three months after the last training session The ARAT has total 19 items, divided into 4 categories (grasp, grip, pinch, and gross arm movement). It ranges from 3 to 0 (best to worse).
Fugl-Meyer Assessment Three months after the last training session Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper-Extremity the maximum score is 66, divided into 33 items in the form of a 3-point scale (0-2), 0 is cannot perform and 2 performs fully.
Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Lower-Extremity consists of 34-level cumulative scoring system to examine lower-limb functions of hemiplegic stroke patients quantitatively through a set of lower-limb movement tasks in reflex, flexor/extensor synergy, volitional movement, coordination and speed (Fugl-Meyer, et al., 1975).
