Mixed reality serious games for post-stroke rehabilitation

Abstract

In this paper we propose a mixed reality system (MRS) and an adaptation module for rehabilitation of the upper limb after stroke through serious games. Aim of the system is to increase intensity and number of training session using the fun factor as driver. Although our system is targeting post stroke patient it is necessary to validate and test our approach with valid users at the first stage to provide patients with stable system to use. These studies and their results are described in this paper. © 2011 ICST.
