Design Aspects for Rehabilitation Games for MS Patients

Abstract

Computer-supported rehabilitation can bene t many groups of patients. However, when designing such a therapy, it is important to take the characteristics of the patient popula- tion and the wishes of the therapists involved into account. This paper therefore focuses on the requirements of rehabilitation games for Multiple Sclerosis patients. As we have created a system for rehabilitating Multiple Sclerosis, based on a virtual environment with force feedback, we will discuss how these requirements can be met using the rehabilitation system as an example.
