Haptics in Rehabilitation, Exergames and Health

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

It is well known that home exercise is as good as the rehabilitation center. Unfortunately, passive devices such as dumbbells, elastic bands, stress balls, and tubing, which have been widely used for home-based upper-body rehabilitation, do not provide therapists with the information needed to monitor patients’ progress, identify impairments, and suggest treatments. Moreover, the lack of interactivity of these devices turns rehabilitation exercises into boring, unpleasant tasks. In this chapter, we introduce a family of exergame rehabilitation systems aimed at solving the aforementioned problems. The systems combine recent rehabilitation approaches with efficient, yet affordable, skeleton tracking input technologies, and multimodal interactive computer environment. In addition, the systems provide real-time feedback to stroke patients, summarize feedback after each session, and predict the overall recovery progress. Moreover, these systems show a new style of rehabilitation that motivates patients by engaging family and friends in the rehabilitation process and allowing therapists to remotely assess the progress of patients and adjust the training strategy accordingly. The objective/subjective assessments and usability studies show the feasibility of the proposed systems for rehabilitation in stroke patients with upper limb motor dysfunction.
