“…Kinect seems to be the most preferred sensor for capturing body parts and following their movement in space, which was used by 15.4% (26/169) of the studies included in the review. Some of the studies used only the Kinect sensor for their systems [26,[62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73], whereas others combined it with biosignal capturing devices such as electromyogram (EMG) [24,41,74,75] or a sensing jacket [52] to gain better control of the user's movement for the final goal (ie, rehabilitation). In addition, some studies have used Kinect combined with gaming devices such as VR headsets [76] and a Wii balance board [77] or other devices such as goniometers [78][79][80], Tyromotion Timo plate [77], Xsen 3D sensor [81], body markers [82], and a customized haptic glove [83].…”

Background: Serious gaming has increasingly gained attention as a potential new component in clinical practice. Specifically, its use in the rehabilitation of motor dysfunctions has been intensively researched during the past three decades. Objective: The aim of this scoping review was to evaluate the current role of serious games in upper extremity rehabilitation, and to identify common methods and practice as well as technology patterns. This objective was approached via the exploration of published research efforts over time. Methods: The literature search, using the PubMed and Scopus databases, included articles published from 1999 to 2019. The eligibility criteria were (i) any form of game-based arm rehabilitation; (ii) published in a peer-reviewed journal or conference; (iii) introduce a game in an electronic format; (iv) published in English; and (v) not a review, meta-analysis, or conference abstract. The search strategy identified 169 relevant articles. Results: The results indicated an increasing research trend in the domain of serious gaming deployment in upper extremity rehabilitation. Furthermore, differences regarding the number of publications and the game approach were noted between studies that used commercial devices in their rehabilitation systems and those that proposed a custom-made robotic arm, glove, or other devices for the connection and interaction with the game platform. A particularly relevant observation concerns the evaluation of the introduced systems. Although one-third of the studies evaluated their implementations with patients, in most cases, there is the need for a larger number of participants and better testing of the rehabilitation scheme efficiency over time. Most of the studies that included some form of assessment for the introduced rehabilitation game mentioned user experience as one of the factors considered for evaluation of the system. Besides user experience assessment, the most common evaluation method involving patients was the use of standard medical tests. Finally, a few studies attempted to extract game features to introduce quantitative measurements for the evaluation of patient improvement. Conclusions: This paper presents an overview of a significant research topic and highlights the current state of the field. Despite extensive attempts for the development of gamified rehabilitation systems, there is no definite answer as to whether a serious game is a favorable means for upper extremity functionality improvement; however, this certainly constitutes a supplementary means for motivation. The development of a unified performance quantification framework and more extensive experiments could generate richer evidence and contribute toward this direction.

“…Stroke gives rise to key disabilities such as impaired upper limb and body imbalance hindering one's independency of performing everyday tasks [13]. Therefore, rehabilitation through regular therapy is essential, but continuously visiting therapy centers is a burden, and if this cannot be done, then the performance of, the patient drops.…”

“…However, these solutions are lacking reported functional, validation data, and proper exercise routines to convert from conventional training. Therefore, the study in [13] presents a kinetic-based virtual reality therapy named Durian Runtuh, which utilizes the Microsoft Kinect sensor. Here, the patient needs to select one of the four different types of isolated movements recommended by the therapists and the level of difficulty, to collect falling fruits but by avoiding falling axes.…”

Good health is one’s greatest asset. There are many software solutions, developed to help improve the health, and well-being of people, along with them gamified software solutions are popular with their greatest effectiveness and experience compared to physical medication. While there are solutions, developed with the proper understanding of the scientific effect of such solutions to people, some are developed without any scientific analysis or proved results. This paper discusses the main health issues of humans identified within the past decade and what gamification solutions have been implemented to mitigate them and how feasible they have been. Moreover, this article discusses the future development and trends of such gamified solutions for healthcare. Compared to physical treatments and medication, gamification provides an immersive experience with the user’s mind strongly connected with the game play, which is a great place to improve the health of a person using psychology. Many people enjoy games in their leisure time, and some use them to kill time, but games can be used for much more significant purposes connected with psychology and various functions of the human brain. Some health issues can be cured just by the perception of a person’s mind since there are many hormones in the body, which reacts to countless feelings, thoughts, and sensations, that could even cure a person without medicine.

“…Aspectos como a quantidade de participantes da pesquisa, instrumentos utilizados para execução dos estudos, as ferramentas para avaliação dos dados, os principais resultados, conclusões podem visualizados no Apêndice, neste arquivo também é possível verificar as observações feitas pelos autores desta pesquisa.Os nossos pontos de concordância com as pesquisas relatadas são a possibilidade e necessidade de individualizar a terapia[57],[83],[94], para aumentar sua efetividade. O tipo de controle para captura dos movimentos, com utilização de sistemas de mãos livres para que a terapia possa ser aplicada a qualquer paciente, independente da severidade da sequela[18],[20],[72],[83]. Outro ponto de acordo é a necessidade de desenvolver jogos que sejam pensados nas debilitadas e na melhor forma de reabilitar uma amostra específica, como indivíduos pós AVC, visto que alguns os trabalhos já publicados sobre o assunto que utilizam de jogos prontos, adaptando os mesmos às necessidade dos pacientes[69],[76], não obtiveram grande sucesso.As formas de avaliação das terapias também foram analisadas.…”

Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the world. Many individuals remain without upper limb (MS) function even six months after stroke. The function of MS directly affects the performance of activities of daily living, negatively affecting the quality of life (QOL) of these patients. Several researchers report the difficulty of restoring the motor function of paretic MS. Considering the above aspects, a new rehabilitation protocol was developed, applied and evaluated involving a user-centered serious virtual reality-based (VR) game in non-invasive and post-chronic chronic individuals. A total of 10 individuals with stroke sequelae who underwent 15 rehabilitation sessions, lasting between 30 and 40 minutes each, participated in the research. The quantitative parameters evaluated were: Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Tonic Stretch Reflex Threshold (TSRT), Brunnstrom Recovery Stages (BRS), Range of Motion (ROM), and Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale), and qualitative analysis made through a collection diary. For analysis of quantitative data we used the software R. The Shapiro-Wilk test was initially applied to identify if the samples had normal distribution. For data with normal distribution (ROM) the T test was used, and for non-normal data (LRET, EMA, BRS, QOL), the nonparametric Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test was used, both comparing pre and post evaluation. treatment. The results of the parameters measured for LRET, BRS, ADM and QL evaluation showed statistically significant differences between pre and post intervention evaluations, with 99% confidence. In this intervention it was observed, in general, that the offered protocol was able to reach the goal, since the results presented indicated that there was a decrease in muscle tone, increased range of motion and improved quality of life, besides , this intervention showed no adverse effect, was very motivating given the level of adherence of the participants and allowed a specific training for the upper limbs of these individuals.
