Abstract

this paper presents a conceptual cloud-based framework with virtual and augmented reality support named “CRehab” for the management of rehabilitation processes. Studies show that rehabilitation wards, staff, patients, and families need systems that tackle administration, personal communication, and patient motivation processes effectively. To this end, CRehab employs cloud capabilities to address the first two concerns. Patient motivation is encouraged by the deployment of virtual rehabilitation environments with exercises that stimulate the patient. The main aim is to create feasible architecture for use in multiple types of rehabilitation, regardless of diagnosis, environment, patient, or any other factors.
