“…On the one hand, they need to be accompanied by an adult to the rehabilitation center, which entails inconveniences for the families. On the other hand, while adults are aware that therapy itself benefits them, young people tend to have less determination to perform tasks if they do not obtain some short-term reward in exchange [3]; therefore, motivation is essential for them to maintain their commitment to the exercise program [4][5][6].…”

“…These devices are capable of capturing the patient's natural movements without the use of markers or devices attached to the body. These types of devices facilitate the deployment of exergames at home [4,5] and the execution of the exercises in a more straightforward way. Some video games support the graphic representation of the user (or player) in two or three dimensions, which is known as a virtual avatar.…”

Physical rehabilitation of people who suffer from some motor disability involves an intensive treatment to reduce pain and improve quality of life. Research studies have proven the benefits of technologies based on home-rehabilitation, which complement regular therapy in hospitals. Although there is a significant number of studies that face this challenge when dealing with adults, it has not been explored with young people. In this research article, we focus on this population, since the repetition of physical exercises decreases the youth’s motivation, which entails a high risk of dropping out of therapy. That is why we present a systematic mapping study of the techniques, devices, and methods used to address home rehabilitation for children and teenagers. The conclusions indicate that it is essential to use gamification techniques to adopt a plug-and-play metaphor, based on natural interaction mechanisms and on the use of non-intrusive devices, and to customize the rehabilitation process for each individual along with a methodology. We also present the improvements applied to an existing gamification-based software prototype for home rehabilitation. In this system, physical exercises can be customized, laying the foundations to promote precision rehabilitation within the context of young people.

The work is presented for arm paresis patients in rehabilitation phase, consisting of an arm movement but slower than normal ones. Since most patients with lacking motivation affect the physical therapy, they are not willing to follow program of rehabilitation. This work aims to design a game for arm paresis patients in rehabilitation phase with virtual reality. The control system is designed using unity, oculus rift and oculus touch. For the system, the game contains three different levels. A goal of level 1 is to drag and drop an object in X radius. Level 2 is to pick up books to bookshelf in Y radius, and level 3 is to pick ingredients to cauldron in X and Y radius. As a results, the satisfaction survey on usage is satisfied. Besides, the game's development should be more varied to make patients have more fun and motivated in physical therapy.

Patients undergoing physical rehabilitation therapy must perform series of exercises regularly over a long period of time to improve, or at least not to worsen, their condition. Rehabilitation can easily become boring because of the tedious repetition of simple exercises, which can also cause mild pain and discomfort. As a consequence, patients often fail to follow their rehabilitation schedule with the required regularity, thus endangering their recovery. In the last decade, video games have become largely popular and the availability of advanced input controllers has made them a viable approach to make physical rehabilitation more entertaining while increasing patients motivation. In this paper, we present a framework integrating serious games for the lower-limb rehabilitation of children suffering from Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). The framework comprises games that implement parts of the therapeutic protocol followed by the young patients and provides modules to tune, control, record, and analyze the therapeutic sessions. We present the result of a preliminary validation we performed with patients at the clinic under therapists supervision. The feedback we received has been overall very positive both from patients, who enjoyed performing their usual therapy using video games, and therapists, who liked how the games could keep the children engaged and motivated while performing the usual therapeutic routine.
