Findings from Columbia University Provides New Data about Robotics and Automation (Remote Extended Reality With Markerless Motion Tracking for Sitting Posture Training).

Researchers at Columbia University have developed a remote extended reality (XR) rehabilitation system with markerless motion tracking for sitting posture training. A pilot study involving 42 healthy subjects showed that the system significantly improved functional reach performance and was highly effective for telerehabilitation. The XR interaction also enhanced training engagement and enjoyment, bridging the spatial gap between patients and therapists for personalized home-based interventions. This study serves as a stepping stone for advancing novel remote XR rehabilitation systems, offering a promising solution for posture training in addressing conventional training limitations.
