Abstract

A sheet for rehabilitation used together with a head-mounted display device (an HMD) that can display an image is disclosed. On the sheet for rehabilitation, markers functioning as labels for designating a position for displaying the image are provided.

Claims

1. A rehabilitation supporting instrument used together with a body-mounted display device that can display an image, the rehabilitation supporting instrument comprising a marker functioning as a label for designating a posit ion where the image is displayed.

2. The rehabilitation supporting instrument according to claim 1, further comprising a plane section on which a body portion of a user can be disposed, wherein

the marker is provided in the plane section.

3. The rehabilitation supporting instrument according to claim 1, wherein the rehabilitation supporting instrument includes a plurality of the markers respectively corresponding to a plurality of parts of a body portion of a user.

4. The rehabilitation supporting instrument according to claim 3, wherein

the body portion is a hand, and

the markers are associated with fingers of the hand.

5. The rehabilitation supporting instrument according to claim 1, wherein an illustration image for showing a disposition position of a body portion of a user is printed.

6. The rehabilitation supporting instrument according to claim 1, wherein a disposition position of the marker can be changed.

7. The rehabilitation supporting instrument according to claim 1, wherein the image is a moving image showing a normal motion of a body portion of a user.

8. A rehabilitation device comprising:

a display device that can display an image; and

a rehabilitation supporting instrument, wherein

the rehabilitation supporting instrument includes a marker functioning as a label for designating a position where the image is displayed.

9. The rehabilitation device according to claim 8, wherein

the rehabilitation supporting instrument includes a plurality of the markers respectively corresponding to a plurality of parts of a body portion of a user, and

the display device includes:

a marker imaging section configured to image the markers; and

a rehabilitation processing section configured to adjust a size and a display position of the image on the basis of positions of the markers captured by the marker imaging section and perform the display of the image.

10. The rehabilitation device according to claim 9, wherein the rehabilitation processing section deforms a shape of the image on the basis of an inclination angle of the markers captured by the marker imaging section and performs the display of the image.
