“…Other broad reviews have focused only on pathologies for which there are randomised controlled trials looking at changes in rehabilitation outcomes over time [24] or only on games aimed at improving motor function rather than cardiorespiratory function [25]. Reviews that have included respiratory conditions have been limited to scoping reviews rather than systematic reviews [36,37].…”

“…O treinamento com RV apresenta-se promissor, especialmente na reabilitação do membro superior pós AVC [23][24][25][26]. Além dos ganhos funcionais, o processo de reabilitação através da RV permite um maior envolvimento no programa, aproveitamento e sensação de controle sobre o ambiente pelos pacientes [27].…”

ABSTRACT AIMS: To evaluate the applicability of a virtual reality-based motion sensor for post-stroke upper limb rehabilitation. CASES DESCRIPTION: Three post-stroke patients were subjected to virtual reality training for rehabilitation of their upper limbs using the Leap Motion Controller technology and the game Playground 3D ® for 3 consecutive days. On the first and last days, the Box and Blocks test, the De Melo Eye-Hand Coordination Test, and transcranial magnetic stimulation were applied. On the last day, the patients were evaluated with the Experience Evaluation Form. After the proposed training, a lower motor threshold was observed in both cerebral hemispheres, as well as better performance in the tests that evaluated hand and eye-hand coordination skills. The proposed therapy was well received by the patients. CONCLUSIONS: No adverse effects were observed, and promising and precise results were obtained for the virtual reality-based training using the Leap Motion Controller and Playground 3D ® . The training allowed patients to have an active role in the rehabilitation of strokeinduced upper limb sequelae.

“…In addition, the enhancement of hardware has helped in the process of immersion and improvement of user's experience by using image recognition, movement and sound techniques, such as the Microsoft Kinect Sensor (KS) [7]. This has allowed the use of commercial games, which focuses exclusively for entertainment, in the treatment of several diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Stroke, Huntington's disease, and Cerebral Palsy [8].…”

-the usage of technologies for the treatment of patients is constantly emerging. A recent trend is the usage of games for healthcare, mainly in motor rehabilitation. The entertainment facet of the game attracts the attention of patients making them more engaged in the treatment. A difficult in the usage of commercial games is that they require full attention of the healthcare professionals, since they were not created to this purpose. To contour this kind of situation, decreasing the attention demanded by healthcare professionals, tailor-made games with monitoring capabilities have been developed. The problem with this approach is that these games falls short of entertainment, compromising their playfulness. Given this scenario, we believe that by adding monitoring capabilities to environments in which commercial games are used for health treatment is the best approach for game therapy. Therefore, it is necessary to create a mechanism that helps developers on building applications to monitoring patients' pre-determined characteristics during a gameplay. In this paper, we propose the NuSense, a sensor-based framework to support the development of applications to automatically monitoring people while they are playing electronic games as a health therapy.
