Aplicação de serious game controlado por biossinais para reabilitação da dorsiflexão do tornozelo

Abstract

Motor dysfunctions affect thousands of people regularly, whether as a result of psychopathologies or accidents. However, in both cases, the treatment to recover motor functions generally involves physiotherapeutic exercises. The recovery process can be long and discouraging, particularly when the patient shows minimal progress in their treatment. To provide a more effective and engaging recovery, this project aims to develop a serious game that will be applied in the specific rehabilitation of ankle dorsiflexion. The game, as defined by the term serious game, will allow the patients to perform the necessary movements for their treatment and can be a source of entertainment. In addition to the game itself, the corresponding control device will be developed. This hardware will enable the patients to control the game by performing specific movements essential for their rehabilitation.
