“…Of the 27 application systems, 10 had been developed explicitly for a musculoskeletal disease of the shoulder—6 for frozen shoulder, 4 for shoulder impingement syndrome; 2 focused on different musculoskeletal diseases of the shoulder similar in physiotherapeutic treatment (eg, rotator cuff tear and humerus fracture); 11 others outlined the target group only vaguely—there were 5 application systems for shoulder injuries, 2 for musculoskeletal shoulder pain, and 4 for musculoskeletal diseases of upper extremities, in general; and the remaining 4 were intended to be used for treatment of musculoskeletal diseases of the shoulder as well as of one of the following diseases: paraplegias with spinal cord injuries [ 22 ], cerebrovascular diseases [ 23 ], arm amputations [ 24 ], or elbow and radius fractures [ 25 ]. Here, it seems questionable whether a combined approach for musculoskeletal and neurological diseases is appropriate for the individual therapeutic needs of a patient.…”

“…Whereas 11 publications focus on the implementation of a single, sometimes incredibly broad game [ 22 , 23 , 29 , 37 , 38 , 43 - 48 ], just as many publications provide several games [ 24 , 28 , 32 , 36 , 39 - 42 , 49 - 51 ]. By implementing different games, a higher variability is gained.…”

“…In addition to simple tasks such as picking fruits [ 25 , 47 , 50 , 53 ], placing dishes [50‑51], or fishing [ 44 ], there are more complex, and therefore, possibly more exciting and less fatiguing tasks. Examples are destroying submarines by cleverly dropping bombs [ 41 ] and controlling objects (eg, aircrafts, storks, rays) along a course with or without obstacles [ 23 , 25 , 32 , 38 ]. Probably the most extensive game in terms of implemented tasks and game components is The Sorcerer’s Apprentice [ 45 ].…”

“…Encouraging motivation, as well as enhancing engagement, is one of several goals of gamification [ 56 , 57 ]. Certain publications describe their application systems as motivating (6 of the 27), without mentioning specific factors for this effect [ 23 , 25 , 32 , 36 , 39 , 46 ]. Furthermore, motivational effects are often based on general, superficial aspects, such as interactivity (12 of the 27), fun, enjoyment, and entertainment (13 of the 27).…”

“…Except for 3 publications presenting purely application systems or approaches [ 23 , 47 , 59 ], all application systems were evaluated on at least one aspect. Frequently, this was the evaluation of technical feasibility (10 of the 27) and usability (9 of the 27) by means of pilot studies or simple informal pretests.…”

Background Gamification has become increasingly important both in research and in practice. Particularly in long-term care processes, such as rehabilitation, playful concepts are gaining in importance to increase motivation and adherence. In addition to neurological diseases, this also affects the treatment of patients with musculoskeletal diseases such as shoulder disorders. Although it would be important to assist patients during more than one rehabilitation phase, it is hypothesized that existing systems only support a single phase. It is also unclear which game design elements are currently used in this context and how they are combined to achieve optimal positive effects on motivation. Objective This scoping review aims to identify and analyze information and communication technologies that use game design elements to support the rehabilitation processes of patients with musculoskeletal diseases of the shoulder. The state of the art with regard to fields of application, game design elements, and motivation concepts will be determined. Methods We conducted a scoping review to identify relevant application systems. The search was performed in 3 literature databases: PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and Scopus. Following the PICO (population, intervention, comparison, outcome) framework, keywords and Medical Subject Headings for shoulder, rehabilitation, and gamification were derived to define a suitable search term. Two independent reviewers, a physical therapist and a medical informatician, completed the search as specified by the search strategy. There was no restriction on year of publication. Data synthesis was done by deductive-inductive coding based on qualitative content analysis. Results A total of 1994 articles were screened; 31 articles in English, published between 2006 and 2019, were included. Within, 27 application systems that support patients with musculoskeletal diseases of the shoulder in exercising, usually at home but also in inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation clinics, were described. Only 2 application systems carried out monitoring of adherence. Almost all were based on in-house developed software. The most frequently used game components were points, tasks, and avatars. More complex game components, such as collections and teams, were rarely used. When selecting game components, patient-specific characteristics, such as age and gender, were only considered in 2 application systems. Most were described as motivating, though an evaluation of motivational effects was usually not conducted. Conclusions There are only a few application systems supporting patients with musculoskeletal diseases of the shoulder in rehabilitation by using game design elements. Almost all application systems are exergames for supporting self-exercising. Application systems for multiple rehabilitation phases seem to be nonexistent. It is also evident that only a few complex game design elements are used. Patient-specific characteristic are generally neglected when selecting and implementing game components. Consequently, a holistic approach to enhance adherence to rehabilitation is required supporting patients during the entire rehabilitation process by providing motivational game design elements based on patient-specific characteristics.

Biocooperative control uses both biomechanical and physiological information of the user to achieve a reliable human-robot interaction. In the context of neuromotor rehabilitation, such control can enhance rehabilitation experience and outcomes. However, the high cost and large volume of the commercial systems for physiological signal acquisition are major limitations for the development of such control. We present a highly versatile, low-cost and wearable embedded system that integrates the most commonly used sensors in this field: inertial measurement unit (IMU), electrocardiography (ECG), electromyography (EMG), galvanic skin response (GSR) and skin temperature (SKT) sensors. Additionally, the compact system combines wireless communication for data transmission and a high-efficiency microcontroller for real-time signal processing and control. We tested the system in two common neuromotor rehabilitation scenarios. The first is an upper-limb rehabilitation VR-based exergame, in which the patient must collect as many coins as possible. Movement recognition of the hand and arm is performed based on EMG and IMU information, respectively. The second is adaptive assistive control that adjusts the level of assistance of a wrist rehabilitation robot according to the physiological state and motor performance of the patient using GSR, ECG and SKT data. The quality of the recorded signals and the processing capacity of the system meet the needs of the two upper-limb rehabilitation applications. The wearable system is highly versatile, open, configurable and low cost, and it could promote the development of real-time biocooperative control for a wide range of neuromotor rehabilitation applications.INDEX TERMS Biocooperative control, embedded system, neuromotor rehabilitation, real-time signal processing, wearable sensors.
