Title: | ReHoblet – A Home-Based Rehabilitation Game on the Tablet | Authors: | VANDERMAESEN, Marijke ROBERT, Karel LUYTEN, Kris CONINX, Karin |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Publisher: | IEEE | Source: | Proceedings of IEEE HeathCom 2014, p. 411-416 | Abstract: | We present ReHoblet; a physical rehabilitation game on tablets, designed to be used in a residentialsetting. ReHoblet trains two gross motor movements of the upper limbs by lifting (up-down) and transporting (leftright) the tablet to control a simple platform game. By using its accelerometers and gyroscope, the tablet is capable of detecting movements made by the user and steer the interaction based on this data. A formative evaluation with five Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients and their therapists showed high appreciation for ReHoblet. Patients stated they liked ReHoblet not only to improve their physical abilities, but to train on performing technology-related tasks. Based on the results, we reflect on tablet-based games in home-based rehabilitation. | Keywords: | motor training; neurorehabilitation; physical therapy; tablet; pervasive healthcare; upper extremities | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/17710 | ISBN: | 9781479966448 | ISI #: | 000389583600075 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper | Validations: | ecoom 2019 |
