Direct Visual Feedback

Direct visual feedback (pronunciation: /dɪˈrɛkt ˈvɪʒʊəl ˈfiːdbæk/) is a term used in the field of medicine, physiotherapy, and neuroscience to describe the process where individuals can see their own performance or movement in real time. This method is often used in rehabilitation programs to improve motor skills and correct movement patterns.

Etymology

"Direct" (from Latin directus meaning "straight") refers to the immediate nature of the feedback, "visual" (from Latin visus meaning "sight") refers to the feedback being perceived through sight, and "feedback" (from the mechanical term meaning "return of a portion of output") refers to the information returned to the user about their performance.
