Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Videogames and motion capture systems are increasingly utilized in patient rehabilitation.
  • These technologies offer potential benefits for recovery and patient engagement.
  • A systematic review is needed to synthesize current research in this domain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and explore existing literature on the use of videogames and motion capture technologies in physical rehabilitation.
  • To identify trends, common technologies, and application areas within this field.
  • To highlight the focus on upper limb rehabilitation and post-stroke recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search using the PRISMA method across Scopus, PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and Web of Science.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on physical rehabilitation, videogames, motion capture, and upper limb rehabilitation.
  • Literature selection limited to open-access articles published between 2015 and 2020.

Main Results:

  • Nineteen articles met the inclusion criteria.
  • Prevalent technologies included Kinect sensors (48%) and inertial measurement units (37%).
  • A significant majority of systems were independently developed (74%), with 47% focusing on post-stroke motor recovery.

Conclusions:

  • Motion capture systems, especially those with inertial units, provide precise, accessible, and cost-effective support for physical rehabilitation.
  • There is a need for continued development of technologies that enhance rehabilitation precision, healthcare coverage, and patient motivation.
  • Integrating engaging elements into rehabilitation technologies is crucial for improving patient participation and outcomes.
