Abstract

A rehabilitation assistance system includes: a first display apparatus which is to be attached to a head of a patient, and which enables a body portion of the patient to be seen; and a display controller which causes an index image that functions as an index for a rehabilitation motion, to be displayed on the first display apparatus.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 - 11 . (canceled)

12 . A rehabilitation assistance system comprising:
a first display apparatus which is to be attached to a head of a patient, and which enables a body portion of the patient to be seen; a display controller which causes an index image that functions as an index for a rehabilitation motion, to be displayed on the first display apparatus; a detecting section which detects a motion of the body portion of the patient; and a storing section which previously stores reference data indicating a target motion of the body portion, wherein the display controller changes a color of the index image based on a difference between data indicating the detected motion and the reference data.

13 . The rehabilitation assistance system according to claim 12 , further comprising:
a recording image producing section which, based on the motion, produces a recording image indicating the motion of the body portion at a first timing, wherein the display controller causes the recording image to be displayed on the first display apparatus at a second timing which is later than the first timing.

14 . A rehabilitation assistance system comprising:
a first display apparatus which is to be attached to a head of a patient, and which enables a body portion of the patient to be seen; a display controller which causes an index image that functions as an index for a rehabilitation motion, to be displayed on the first display apparatus; a detecting section which detects a motion of the body portion of the patient; a storing section which previously stores reference data indicating a target motion of the body portion; and a guiding member which is to be attached to the body portion of the patient, and which outputs at least one of a sound, light, and vibration based on a difference between data indicating the detected motion and the reference data.

15 . The rehabilitation assistance system according to claim 12 , further comprising
a line-of-sight measurement apparatus which measures a line of sight of the patient, wherein the display controller adjusts a position of the index image based on the line of sight.

16 . The rehabilitation assistance system according to claim 12 , further comprising:
an evaluating section which numerically evaluates a difference between data indicating the detected motion and the reference data.

17 . The rehabilitation assistance system according to claim 16 , further comprising
a second display apparatus which is disposed in a place that is separated from a body of the patient, wherein the display controller causes a result of evaluation performed by the evaluating section to be displayed on at least one of the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus.

18 . The rehabilitation assistance system according to claim 16 , wherein
the display controller causes an image displayed on the first display apparatus to be displayed also on the second display apparatus.

19 . The rehabilitation assistance system according to claim 16 , further comprising
a recording section which records a result of evaluation performed by the evaluating section while associating the result of evaluation with at least a timing when the result of evaluation is obtained, and information identifying the patient.

20 . The rehabilitation assistance system according to claim 12 , wherein the index image contains an image which represents the body portion of the patient.

21 . A rehabilitation assistance system comprising:
a detecting section which detects a motion of a body portion of a patient; a storing section which previously stores reference data indicating a target motion of the body portion; and a guiding member which is to be attached to the body portion of the patient, and which outputs at least one of a sound, light, and vibration based on a difference between data indicating the detected motion and the reference data.
