“…In the meantime, rehabilitation practice could use game consoles that operate under telerehabilitation conditions (to ensure monitoring and data collection at home), and are able to run games designed from the start for therapeutic use. Morrow and colleagues adapted an Xbox and a P5 glove [23] for hand rehabilitation [24]. Drawbacks of this earlier attempt were the limited computing power of the first-generation Xbox, an unreliable sensing glove, and the expense of hardware modifications needed to run the Linux operating system (OS).…”

Abstract-The convergence of game technology, the Internet, and rehabilitation science forms the second-generation virtual rehabilitation framework. This paper presents the first pilot study designed to look at the feasibility of at-home use of gaming technology adapted to address hand impairments in adolescents with hemiplegia due to perinatal stroke or intraventricular hemorrhage. Three participants trained at home for approximately 30 min/day, several days a week, for six to ten months. During therapy, they wore a Fifths Dimension Technologies Ultra sensing glove and played custom-developed Java 3D games on a modified PlayStation 3. The games were designed to accommodate the participants' limited range of motion, and to improve finger range and speed of motion. Trials took place in Indiana, while monitoFring/data storage took place at Rutgers Tele-Rehabilitation Institute (New Jersey). Significant improvements in finger range of motion (as measured by the sensing glove) were associated with self-and family-reported improvements in activities of daily living. In online subjective evaluations, participants indicated that they liked the system ease of use, clarity of instructions, and appropriate length of exercising. Other telerehabilitation studies are compared to this study and its technology challenges. Directions for future research are included.

“…Other studies went further and modified a Wii Remote controller to control a game used in the rehabilitation of wrist flexion and extension [4]. Custom made games for other consoles such as the Microsoft XBOX and Sony Playstation 3 have been used in the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients [13] and children with hemiplegia [11].…”

This paper describes a user and task analysis that was conducted in order to examine the role of therapists in the use of video games in therapy. The results show that video games were used often, but improvements could be made to make them more effective for the therapist. From these results recommendations for video game design were derived. Recommendations include that a therapeutic video game should be easy to startup and configure, should allow the therapist to support a patient during play, and should support the therapist in tracking a patient's performance.

“…Due to the diversity of available VR systems, ranging from the originally produced for domestic use (Morrow, Docan, Burdea, & Merians, 2006;Yavuzer, Senel, Atay, & Stam, 2008) (usually known as consoles) to the ones developed specifically for therapeutic goals, developing a protocol to classify VR system demands can aid in the choice of an appropriate VR-based task to each user's needs.…”

The virtual reality has been frequently required in rehabilitation settings. However, it still lacks specificity, making it necessary to establish specific criteria to classify the most relevant aspects of electronic games to allow interventions based on virtual reality. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a "Perceptual and motor demands assessment protocol for virtual reality systems" and to investigate its content validity and intra and inter observer agreement. The protocol was created through a literature review including classical studies as well as a review of recent articles about motor behavior, physical training, cognitive neuroscience and virtual reality. The previous versions were presented in study group meetings and congresses, and modified accordingly to suggestions of experts. Three examiners used the final version to analyze twice the total of 20 videos of individuals in a virtual environment and answered a questionnaire about its content validity. Most of the obtained values were classified as "good" (concordance from 80% to 89%) or "excellent" (concordance from 90% to 100%) by the three examiners and the protocol's content validity was adequate. The protocol is valid, applicable and practical for analyzing different requirements of electronic games in a virtual environment.
