A Distributed Exergame for Telerehabilitation: An Engaging Alternative to Improve Patients’ Quality of Life
Abstract
There are many factors that have a direct impact on the effectiveness of rehabilitation sessions. Among the main ones are: the availability of treatment, the active participation of the physiotherapist and the patient’s motivation and engagement in performing the exercises. In this sense, this project presents the construction of a distributed exergame that, using equipment and sensors coupled to the cycle ergometer (device used in the activity), aims to allow telerehabilitation sessions, where the patient and physiotherapist are in their respective houses, and perform these activities in a less boring and more engaging way, increasing the patient’s quality of life.
