Objective To explore the effect of augmented reality (AR) somatosensory interactive games applied in rehabilitation training of patients with cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 108 patients with cerebral infarction evenly were divided into two groups by whether being able to participate in rehabilitation center based group training. The control group received conventional rehabilitation training methods, while the intervention group were instructed to play AR somatosensory interactive games. The compliance with rehabilitation exercise, and Brunnstrom motor function classification of upper and lower limbs were compared between the two groups. Results The compliance with rehabilitation exercise in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group; the Brunnstrom motor function classification of upper and lower limbs in the intervention group was better than in the control group after intervention (P＜0.01 for all). Conclusion The application of AR somatosensory interactive games in rehabilitation training of patients with cerebral infarction can improve patients′ compliance with rehabilitation exercises, and improve patients′ motor function.
