Augmented Reality for Gait Rehabilitation: A Scoping Review

The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current applications of Augmented Reality (AR) in gait rehabilitation. To accomplish this, a scooping review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. A total of 530 articles were initially identified and screened, with 13 ultimately being included in this review. The findings of this review reveal the various ways in which AR has been utilized and tested in gait rehabilitation, which may prove helpful for individuals seeking to develop new technologies, solutions, or tools in this area. By mapping out the current state of the literature, this article provides insights into the potential benefits and limitations of using AR for gait rehabilitation. Overall, the use of AR in gait rehabilitation shows promise as a way to enhance the rehabilitation process and improve patient outcomes. However, more research is needed to fully understand the most effective ways to use AR in this context and to identify any potential drawbacks or limitations. This review serves as a useful starting point for anyone interested in exploring this area further.
