Area of Science:

  • * Rehabilitation engineering
  • * Human-computer interaction
  • * Game design for health

Background:

  • * Home-based rehabilitation requires engaging and adaptable tools.
  • * Commercial game engines lack specific features for therapeutic needs.
  • * Emerging low-cost motion tracking devices offer potential for remote patient monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To describe a game engine tailored for home rehabilitation.
  • * To integrate patient-specific needs and clinician requirements into a game engine.
  • * To leverage entertainment technology for effective therapeutic interventions.

Main Methods:

  • * Analysis of clinician and patient needs for home rehabilitation.
  • * Development of the Intelligent Game Engine for Rehabilitation (IGER).
  • * Integration of computational intelligence (Bayesian framework, fuzzy systems) for adaptation and monitoring.

Main Results:

  • * IGER adapts exercise difficulty via a Bayesian framework based on patient success rates.
  • * Fuzzy systems monitor patient motion using clinician-defined rules.
  • * IGER supports multiple tracking devices (e.g., Kinect, Wii Balance Board) through an abstraction layer.
  • * Embedded videogames facilitate rehabilitation progression.

Conclusions:

  • * The IGER system possesses the necessary characteristics for effective home rehabilitation.
  • * Preliminary tests indicate suitability for elderly individuals and patients.
  • * IGER is ready for clinical pilot testing in home environments.
