“…Previous [34][35][36][37][38] works evaluated a rehabilitative VR task for different populations (e.g., healthy adults and patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis, or cerebral palsy). In most of these studies, system usability results were overall significantly higher than those in our work [34][35][36][37][38]. This is likely due to differences in the type of tasks used by these applica-tions compared to ours.…”

“…Indeed, refs. [34][35][36] used virtual reality to simply create a more stimulating environment while performing a motor task, while applications developed by [37,38] consisted of a repetitive motor or cognitive task. In our application, patients had to compete with four avatars and learn their preferences towards one of the pieces of recreational equipment.…”

Social cognition is fundamental in everyday life to understand “others’ behavior”, which is a key feature of social abilities. Previous studies demonstrated the efficacy of a rehabilitative intervention in semi-immersive virtual reality (VR) controlled by whole-body motion to improve the ability of patients with cerebellar disorders to predict others’ intentions (VR-SPIRIT). Patients with severe ataxia that have difficulties at multiple levels of social processing could benefit from this intervention in terms of improving their social prediction skills, but they may have difficulties in controlling VR with whole-body movements. Therefore, we implemented VR-SPIRIT on a wearable, affordable, and easy-to-use technology, such as the Oculus Quest, a head-mounted display. The aim of this work was to evaluate the usability and tolerability of this VR application. We recruited 10 patients (37.7 ± 14.8 years old, seven males) with different types of hereditary ataxia who performed a single VR-SPIRIT session using the Oculus Quest viewer. After the session, patients answered a series of questionnaires to investigate the overall usability of the system and its potential effects in terms of cyber sickness. The preliminary results demonstrated system usability and tolerability. Indeed, only three patients did not complete the session due to different problems (dizziness, nausea, and boredom). In future studies, more patients will be enrolled to assess the effectiveness of the application, paving the way for the implementation of social training that can also be delivered at home.

“…Já em relação ao uso de abordagens envolvendo telerreabilitação, tem-se que poucos trabalhos foram encontrados que tragam esta questão de forma direta (cerca de 12% ou 11 trabalhos) [Tamayo-Serrano et al 2020, David et al 2018]. Entretanto, notase uma grande precoupação no contexto de reabilitação em casa ("home based" rehabilitation), o queé um passo importante na direção da telerreabilitação [Corrêa et al 2019, Vasconcelos et al 2018, ainda que estas abordagens considerem apenas o cenário pacientejogo, desconsiderando intervenções do profissional de saúde. A maioria dos projetos, todavia, necessita da presença física do terapeuta, que orienta o uso dos aparelhos e realiza a avaliação do paciente [Bortone et al 2018, Ferreira and Menezes 2020, Funabashi et al 2017.…”

Uma das questões essenciais para o sucesso das sessões de reabilitação ou telerreabilitação é o engajamento do paciente na atividade realizada. Abordagens que utilizam jogos para auxiliar no processo são consideradas boas alternativas. Neste sentido, este trabalho aborda a realização e os resultados de uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura no intuito de explorar, identiﬁcar e analisar os projetos de jogos digitais existentes que propõem-se a engajar o paciente na realização das sessões. Os resultados reaﬁrmam problemas de engajamento e motivação dos pacientes (68, 81% dos trabalhos trazem esta problemática), além de mostrarem uma grande diversidade de projetos realizados, com uma vasta gama de métodos de interação entre o paciente e o jogo, além de diversos recursos empregados para a promoção do engajamento no paciente, como a própria utilização dos jogos em si (43%) ou ainda questões relacionadas à diﬁculdade da atividade (37%).

Computer vision (CV)-based systems using cameras and recognition algorithms offer touchless, cost-effective, precise, and versatile hand tracking. These systems allow unrestricted, fluid, and natural movements without the constraints of wearable devices, gaining popularity in human–system interaction, virtual reality, and medical procedures. However, traditional CV-based systems, relying on stationary cameras, are not compatible with mobile applications and demand substantial computing power. To address these limitations, we propose a portable hand-tracking system utilizing the Leap Motion Controller 2 (LMC) mounted on the head and controlled by a single-board computer (SBC) powered by a compact power bank. The proposed system enhances portability, enabling users to interact freely with their surroundings. We present the system’s design and conduct experimental tests to evaluate its robustness under variable lighting conditions, power consumption, CPU usage, temperature, and frame rate. This portable hand-tracking solution, which has minimal weight and runs independently of external power, proves suitable for mobile applications in daily life.
