A meta-analysis and systematic literature review of mixed reality rehabilitation programs: Investigating design characteristics of augmented reality and augmented virtuality

作者：

Highlights：

• Researchers have shown great interest in the creation of rehabilitation programs using mixed reality (MR).

• Our meta-analysis showed that MR rehabilitation (MRR) programs produce significant improvements in users' outcomes.

• It also showed that there was not a significant effect regarding all studied characteristics of MRR programs.

• Our systematic literature review revealed that the most common research designs are the least methodologically robust.

• MRR programs are still in the earliest stage of research, and the current results are encouraging for future development.
