“…Beneficial effects of serious games in neurorehabilitation and musculoskeletal rehabilitation have been reported in systematic reviews. 13,18,19 Although studies indicate that serious games may be promising tools in rehabilitation, it is worrisome that validity tests of most games are not reported. 13 It must be ensured that important theoretical constructs such as face validity and construct validity of games have been tested and found to be well embedded in games before they are used as a prescribed treatment tool.…”

“…Serious games and wearable technology may be regarded as promising interventions for home-exercise programs. 12,13 Serious games are defined as fun and challenging digital applications that have the specific purpose of teaching their users practical skills or knowledge. 14 Their application in rehabilitation from chronic neurologic and musculoskeletal conditions has been widely researched.…”

“…[15][16][17][18][19] Recent systematic reviews conclude that serious games are potentially effective with regard to improving function and monitoring outcome, although good quality validity research is often lacking. 13,18,19 Moreover, the application of recently developed wearable motion sensors (wearable technology) could improve realtime monitoring of patients in home-based rehabilitation settings. 12,13 Despite this hypothesized effect of "wearablecontrolled" serious games, reports remain sparse.…”

Background Patients recovering from a variety of wrist injuries are frequently advised to exercise to regain lost wrist and hand function. Treatment regimens to regain motion in the wrist are highly variable, and adherence to exercise protocols is known to be low. A serious game ReValidate! incorporating standardized exercise regimens was developed to motivate patients. In this study, the game is evaluated regarding its face validity and content validity. Methods In this cross-sectional study, a mixed group of “users” (n = 53) including patients currently recovering from wrist injury, and a mixed group of “experts” (n = 46) including professionals advising patients on therapy regimen after wrist injury played at least one complete level of the serious game. Players evaluated the game by means of a structured questionnaire regarding its content, clinical applicability, and user experience. Questions were answered on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Results All groups valued the game as being able to support wrist rehabilitation and being of use to patients recovering from a distal radius fracture (users: median 4, P25–P75 3–4 vs. experts: median 4, P25–P75 3.50–5; p = not significant). The types of exercises performed during the game were considered to be both realistic and complete compared with regular physiotherapy exercises (users: median 4, P25–P75 3–4 vs. experts: median 4, P25–P75 3–5, p = not significant). Conclusions The ReValidate! serious game can be regarded as a valid tool for patients to regain their wrist function after injury. Level of evidence This is a Level II study.

Accessibility of products and services is key for people living with a disability to ensure that they are easier to use. However, web accessibility guidelines have been shown to be cumbersome to understand, which impacts on designers' intention to use them. Several tools have been proposed in the literature, but they mostly focus on automatic accessibility testing, a process that is performed after a product has been developed. Little attention has been paid to using web accessibility guidelines during the design phase. In this paper, we present GATE, a serious game to help raise designer awareness of web accessibility guidelines, which is part of our work in progress on gamified technologies for this purpose. Its usability and perceived effectiveness were evaluated through an empirical study using a mixed methods approach. Our initial findings show that GATE is a promising solution that scored high in its playability and potential for use. This work has important potential contributions for the wider adoption of web accessibility guidelines.
