Children with an autism spectrum disorder tend to lose focus quickly. The possibility of displaying changeable, three-dimensional environments in virtual reality can increase the user's concentration time due to the stimuli used. Through the use of virtual reality, an individual assistant can be provided for the daily care and encouragement of learning for children with autism spectrum disorders. To investigate the feasibility of a virtual assistant and the acceptability of virtual reality among autistic children, a review of the literature and conducted studies is undertaken. The selection, identification and evaluation of the relevant research results is carried out according to the preferred reporting items of the systemic literature search.

This research employs non-contact plantar 3D data scanning and gait analysis methodologies to establish a rehabilitation assistance system tailored for foot arch anomalies. The system utilizes a non-contact plantar 3D data model to mitigate dysfunctions within the plantar skeletal-muscular system. Its objectives include facilitating personalized remote diagnosis of foot arch anomalies, enabling patients to monitor their rehabilitation progress, and supporting at-home rehabilitation efforts. A dataset comprising 124 cases of physiological foot arch anomalies in adults aged 18 and above was collected and analyzed. The findings demonstrate the system’s flexibility, high spatial resolution, personalization, and innovation. Notably, the system achieves real-time measurement of positive pressure and shear force distribution at the plantar interface, facilitates the construction of accurate geometric models, and yields high-quality plantar three-dimensional coordinate data. This research contributes theoretical and technical underpinnings for the application of footwork anomaly diagnosis and correction.
