Abstract
The advancement of science and technology continues to develop and has a significant impact on human life, especially on motor skills. In this context, Mixed Reality provides understanding and improvement of skills. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of articles related to Mixed Reality and motor skills published from 2015-2025. A total of 259 articles match the keywords in the Scopus database. This study examines the growth rate of research year by year, with the use of commonly used keywords, articles that are widely cited, countries that have collaborations with other countries, and countries with the most documents and new research keywords. The results of this study convey that the number of publications in one decade (2015-2025) is the most in 2024 as many as 48 publications, and the most keywords are Mixed Reality, Argument Reality, and Virtual Reality, while (S. Gallagher and R. Lindgren), and (H. F. Al Janabi et al) are the most cited documents, the countries with the most documents are the United States, Germany and Japan, for the novelty of keywords seen from the yellow image, such as motor tasks, arthroplasty, haptic feedback, and virtual environments. Germany, United States, United Kingdom are countries that have high collaboration. With the presence of this research, it is expected to provide a meaningful contribution to researchers in the future related to Mixed Reality, especially in the field of motor skills.
