“…To do so, a masterslave communication between the two devices allows the therapist to guide the patient to perform some proposed activities [70], [71]. Likewise, haptic and Leap Motion® devices connected to virtual nonimmersive environments were proposed for managing online programs of back massage therapy [72]. Another initiative by Borrego et al [73] involved a collaborative game for motor telerehabilitation.…”

Telerehabilitation has arised by the inclusion of emerging technologies for capturing, transmitting, analyzing and visualizing movement patterns associated to musculoskeletal disorders. This therapeutic strategy enables to carry out diagnosis processes and provide rehabilitation treatments. This paper presents a systematic review of the current development and implementation of telerehabilitation technologies in Latin America. The main goal is to explore the scientific literature and dissemination sources to establish if such technologies have been introduced in this region. Likewise, this work highlights existing prototypes or systems that are to being used or that are still under development. A systematic search strategy was conducted by two different searches: the first one involves a rigorous literature search from the most relevant scientific digital repositories; the second one included telerehabilitation projects and programs retrieved by an advanced Google search. A total of 53 documents from six countries (Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Chile and Argentina) were found. Most of them were focused on academic and research initiatives to develop in-home telerehabilitation technologies for pediatric and elderly populations affected by motor and functional impairment, cerebral palsy, neurocognitive disorders and stroke. The analysis of the findings revealed the need for a comprehensive approach that integrates health care and the social system to increase the current availability of telerehabilitation initiatives in Latin America.

“…In comparison to the aforementioned references, our realtime haptic-enhanced telerehabilitation system [9] is innovative given that it (i) proposes a method to provide real-time back rehabilitation in a supervised and remote way, (ii) provides a web application for managing therapy programs, (iii) combines emerging tools to perform therapies, including a VE, the Vybe haptic gaming pad [11], and the LMC gesture sensor [10], and (iv) provides a secure way for patients to replay their massage according to the therapy program. Figure 1 shows the architecture of the real-time haptic-enhanced telerehabilitation system.…”

“…Procedure. To obtain the participants' perception of usability and the participant's user experience when receiving a massage of the back with our system, we conducted a controlled usability test at the research laboratory of a local public university [9]. We used both questionnaires and controlled observation to evaluate whether the participant's user experience was pleasurable or not.…”

“…In [9], we introduced a novel real-time haptic-enhanced telerehabilitation system for massage therapy that consists of a web application and a local virtual environment (VE) in which the interaction is performed using the Leap Motion Controller (LMC) gesture sensor [10] and the Vybe haptic gaming pad [11]. e system, called GoodVybesConnect, allows the therapy input parameters to be individualized and calibrated according to the patient's characteristics.…”

We present the usability evaluation of a haptic-enhanced telerehabilitation system for massage therapy of the back using the Vybe haptic gaming pad and the gesture sensor LEAP motion controller. e evaluated system includes features that allow for (i) administering online therapy programs, (ii) providing self-adjustable and safety treatment of back massages using a virtual environment, and (iii) saving and replaying massage sessions according to a patient's therapy program. e usability evaluation with 25 older adults and 10 specialists suggests that the haptic telerehabilitation system is perceived with high usability and pleasurable user experience, while providing personalized intensity of haptic therapy in a supervised, real-time, and secure way to treat the patient. Moreover, the specialists totally agree that the system design features, such as save and play, and delimiting therapy zones are the most important for back massage therapy, while the features of regulating feedback intensity and providing/receiving a massage remotely are also important. Finally, based on their comments, ve design insights aiming at improving the current version of the system were generated.
