The feasibility of using haptic devices to engage people with chronic traumatic brain injury in virtual 3D functional tasks.

Background: The primary aim of this study was to assess the level of engagement in computer-based simulations of functional tasks, using a haptic device for people with chronic traumatic brain injury. The objectives were to design functional tasks using force feedback device and determine if it could measure motor performance improvement.

Methods: A prospective crosssectional study was performed in a biomedical research facility.
