摘要：There is a growing interest in action observation treatment (AOT), i.e., a rehabilitative pro-cedure combining action observation, motor imagery, and action execution to promote the recovery,maintenance, and acquisition of motor abilities. AOT studies employed basic upper limb gestures asstimuli, but—in principle—the AOT approach can be effectively extended to more complex actionslike occupational gestures. Here, we present a repertoire of virtual-reality (VR) stimuli depictingoccupational therapy exercises intended for AOT, potentially suitable for occupational safety andinjury prevention. We animated a humanoid avatar by ﬁtting the kinematics recorded by a healthysubject performing the exercises. All the stimuli are available via a custom-made graphical userinterface, which allows the user to adjust several visualization parameters like the viewpoint, thenumber of repetitions, and the observed movement’s speed. Beyond providing clinicians with a set ofVR stimuli promoting via AOT the recovery of goal-oriented, occupational gestures, such a repertoirecould extend the use of AOT to the ﬁeld of occupational safety and injury prevention.Dataset: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5592131.Dataset License: CC-BY 4.0.
