Using Serious Games and Motion Tracking for Physical Rehabilitation

Abstract:

Tele-rehabilitation has evolved significantly in recent years thanks to the latest advances and low cost of the 3D movement acquisition technologies. Autonomous physical rehabilitation from home through the use of serious games requires measuring angles of interest and compensatory angles of the patients when they perform the exercises. this work has been focused in creating a game with an architecture based on the Unity 3D engine to support rehabilitation activities. It encompasses the acquisition of an articulated skeleton, the customization of a character (avatar) in friendly scenes, and the compute of the required angles to evaluate a set of exercises.
