Understanding User Needs for Injury Recovery with Augmented Reality
<|reference_start|>Understanding User Needs for Injury Recovery with Augmented Reality: Physical therapy (PT) plays a crucial role in muscle injury recovery, but people struggle to adhere to and perform PT exercises correctly from home. To support challenges faced with in-home PT, augmented reality (AR) holds promise in enhancing patient's engagement and accuracy through immersive interactive visualizations. However, effectively leveraging AR requires a better understanding of patient needs during injury recovery. Through interviews with six individuals undergoing physical therapy, this paper introduces user-centered design considerations integrating AR and body motion data to enhance in-home PT for injury recovery. Our findings identify key challenges and propose design variables for future body-based visualizations of body motion data for PT.<|reference_end|>
