title: Virtual holography in diagnosis and therapy of sensorimotor disturbances.
abstract: It has been shown that VR techniques can be usefully applied in the field of sensorimotor disturbances. Virtual scenarios can be created in which patients perform specific motor tasks. Using an optoelectronic position tracking system for motion recording as well as for interaction with virtual objects, and using Virtual Holography as an adequate visualization technique, we are now developing and testing suitable scenarios. Furthermore, an advanced visualization and animation tool using VR technology for diagnosis purpose and therapy planning has been developed, which the physician can profit from during motion analysis.
