Stroke therapy using an interactive game with accelerometer and gyroscope sensor device

Abstract

Stroke is one of the diseases that have a long-Term impact on people who suffer it. Patients are feared not only for the "sudden attacks,"but also for the after-effect due to the disease itself. The paralysis of certain limbs is very disturbing and even inhibits the activity of a patient's life. The process of rehabilitation usually takes a long time, and the patients experience boredom easily. In the rehabilitation process, there are several tools needed by post-stroke patients, such as the use of motion aids and using memory exercise aids such as brain games. Here in this study, accelerometer sensors and gyroscope sensors were used to create a post-stroke therapy game. With this stroke therapy game, patients are expected to be happier to perform the process of stroke therapy and to make stroke therapy more fun, interactive, and can be done at home or elsewhere.
