“…1 It may also be feasible to track rehabilitation at home (for specifically designed gaming programs) via the internet so that therapists can see if the patient is performing exercises correctly and alter the duration/intensity of training. 2 Both the Wii and the Kinect use body motion to control game play. The Wii uses handheld controllers and a balance board which translate the movement of the player on to the screen (Figure 2(a)).…”

Gaming technology -exergaming -is a novel tool to facilitate exercise, improve balance, and encourage rehabilitation training. This review will describe some of the key exergame research to promote physical activity and its use in rehabilitation in other diseases or clinical populations. We will then describe the current state of research in exergaming in people with multiple sclerosis and describe the theories for the mechanism behind some of the improvements in outcomes seen after using exergaming. Lastly, we will identify gaps in the literature and provide directions for future work in this growing area. The current work is contradictory and there is no consensus with regards to training duration/intensity and the outcomes used to assess the clinical effectiveness. This in part is due to the off-the-shelf nature of the games used. A more satisfactory approach would be the development of bespoke games which match a clinical need. Exergames are seen as enjoyable and could be effective in enhancing adherence to rehabilitation. However, the definitive RCT has yet to be carried out comparing exergaming to traditional exercise.

“…Wilson [22] and Martin-Moreno [23] have proposed a hybrid solution that incorporates the two aforementioned approaches in an effort to increase accuracy and the number of DoFs. However, this approach suffers from a limited field of view by employing the Wiimote as an IR camera, making it unsuitable for tracking larger motions that are often required in therapy [18].…”

Purpose: This paper proposes a novel system (using the Nintendo Wii remote) that offers customised, non-immersive, virtual reality-based, upper-limb Implications for Rehabilitation• Low-cost, off-the-shelf game sensors, such as the Nintendo Wii remote, are acceptable by stroke survivors as an add-on to upper limb stroke rehabilitation but have to be bespoked to provide high-fidelity and real-time kinematic tracking of the arm movement.• Providing therapists with real-time and remote monitoring of the quality of the movement and not just the amount of practice, is imperative and most critical for getting a better understanding of each patient and administering the right amount and type of exercise.• The ability to translate therapeutic arm movement into individually calibrated exercises and games, allows accommodation of the wide range of movement difficulties seen after stroke and the ability to adjust these activities (in terms of speed, range of movement and duration) will aid motivation and adherence -key issues in rehabilitation.• With increasing pressures on resources and the move to more community-based rehabilitation, the proposed system has the potential for promoting the intensity of practice necessary for recovery in both community and acute settings.

“…Incorrect speed of movement and poor quality of movement can also have an impact on the efficacy of an exercise [9]. Although it has yet to be clearly demonstrated by a controlled experimental study, it is generally accepted that poor exercise technique can result in a poor outcome from therapy and can limit patient recovery [10], and with certain complex exercises, inaccuracy in exercise technique could potentially cause further injury. This can result in a delay in a patient's return to full physical function.…”

Despite the anticipated benefits associated with the use interactive feedback technology, the adoption of these technologies into clinical practice has not yet been widespread. Initial usability studies and anecdotal evidence suggests that interactive feedback technology supports are effective in rehabilitation, yet they don't seem to satisfy the needs or the expectations of clinicians and patients. This paper outlines a proposed approach to the design, development and selection of interactive feedback supports for use in rehabilitation. The proposed process comprises seven stages; 1) Understand the problem, 2) Identify the benefits that a technology support may offer, 3) Devise a modified care pathway, 4) Outline the design specification for an interactive technology support, 5) Ascertain whether other solutions exist, 6) Develop interactive feedback technology platform, 7) And finally evaluate. In this paper we outline this approach using orthopaedic rehabilitation as a specific example, however the same basic principles can be applied to many different rehabilitation groups.
