Abstract :
The seven papers in this special section were originally presented at the International Workshop on Virtual Rehabilitation (IWVR). The selected papers cover some of the following topics: a novel magnetorheologic force feedback glove; how virtual environments can be used to help patients operate a simulated limb to interact with virtual objects; a networked textual virtual environment which can serve as an aid for patients with vision loss; the technical feasibility of teleassessments for rehabilitation; and the use of systems where virtual environments mediate training at a distance.
