“…In recent years, a multitude of studies have discussed gamified applications for physical rehabilitation. These applications are fed with kinematic features that are captured through modern, cost-effective motion capture technologies such as Microsoft Kinect [2], [3], Nintendo Wii [4], Google MediaPipe [5], [6] and OpenPose [7]. Despite the advantages the aforementioned technologies yield, such as cost efficiency and ease of use, they come with a major limitation: a noticeable pose detection error margin [8], [9].…”

In this paper, we present a framework for gamified motor learning through the use of a serious game and highfidelity motion capture sensors. Our implementation features an Inertial Measurement Unit and a set of Force Plates in order to obtain real-time, high-frequency measurements of patients' core movements and centre of pressure displacement during physical rehabilitation sessions. The aforementioned signals enable two mechanisms, namely a) a game avatar controlled through patient motor skills and b) a rich data stream for post-game motor performance analysis. Our main contribution is a fine-grained processing pipeline for sensor signals, enabling the extraction of a reliable and accurate mapping between patient motor movements, in-game avatar controls and overall motor performance. Moreover, we discuss the potential of this framework towards the implementation of personalised therapeutic sessions and present a pilot study conducted in that direction.
