“…Only 41 articles met the criteria explained earlier. Conversely, 80 articles did not meet the criteria because they (i) focus on rehabilitation on body parts different to upper limbs or focus on other types of rehabilitation [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] ; (ii) have purposes different to rehabilitation [45][46][47][48][49][50][51] (e.g., measurement of personal performance and development of musical skills); (iii) are editorial notes, reviews, and guidelines to develop serious games 1, ; (iv) are incomplete articles 74 ; (v) are up to three pages in length [75][76][77][78] ; (vi) are not written in English [79][80][81] ; and (vii) are out of the scope of this review. 82 This review includes articles with QualSyst percentages q70%.…”

This systematic review aims to analyze the state-of-the-art regarding interaction modalities used on serious games for upper limb rehabilitation. A systematic search was performed in IEEE Xplore and Web of Science databases. PRISMA and QualSyst protocols were used to filter and assess the articles. Articles must meet the following inclusion criteria: they must be written in English; be at least four pages in length; use or develop serious games; focus on upper limb rehabilitation; and be published between 2007 and 2017. Of 121 articles initially retrieved, 33 articles met the inclusion criteria. Three interaction modalities were found: vision systems (42.4%), complementary vision systems (30.3%), and no-vision systems (27.2%). Vision systems and no-vision systems obtained a similar mean QualSyst (86%) followed by complementary vision systems (85.7%). Almost half of the studies used vision systems as the interaction modality (42.4%) and used the Kinect sensor to collect the body movements (48.48%). The shoulder was the most treated body part in the studies (19%). A key limitation of vision systems and complementary vision systems is that their device performances might be affected by lighting conditions. A main limitation of the no-vision systems is that the range-of-motion in angles of the body movement might not be measured accurately. Due to a limited number of studies, fruitful areas for further research could be the following: serious games focused on finger rehabilitation and trauma injuries, game difficulty adaptation based on user's muscle strength and posture, and multisensor data fusion on interaction modalities.

“…VR [13]- [16] and Serious Games [17], [18], which form the basis of VR rehabilitation, have been used as a method of engaging stroke survivors with rehabilitation. Despite this, Serious Games are not always successful at engaging users, particularly when compared to games that have the singular aim to entertain -non-Serious Games [19].…”

Improving Engagement of Stroke Survivors Using Desktop Virtual Reality-Based Serious Games for Upper Limb Rehabilitation: A Multiple Case Study

et al. 2022

Engagement with upper limb rehabilitation post-stroke can improve rehabilitation outcomes. Virtual Reality can be used to make rehabilitation more engaging. In this paper, we propose a multiple case study to determine: (1) whether game design principles (identified in an earlier study as being likely to engage) actually do engage, in practice, a sample of stroke survivors with a Desktop Virtual Realitybased Serious Game designed for upper limb rehabilitation; and (2) what game design factors support the existence of these principles in the game. In this study, we considered 15 principles: awareness, feedback, interactivity, flow, challenge, attention, interest, involvement, psychological absorption, motivation, effort, clear instructions, usability, purpose, and a first-person view. Four stroke survivors used, for a period of 12 weeks, a Virtual Reality-based upper limb rehabilitation system called the Neuromender Rehabilitation System. The stroke survivors were then asked how well each of the 15 principles was supported by the Neuromender Rehabilitation System and how much they felt each principle supported their engagement with the system. All the 15 tested principles had good or reasonable support from the participants as being engaging. Use of feedback was emphasised as an important design factor for supporting the design principles, but there was otherwise little agreement in important design factors among the participants. This indicates that more personalised experiences may be necessary for optimised engagement. The insight gained can be used to inform the design of a larger scale statistical study into what engages stroke survivors with Desktop Virtual Reality-based upper limb rehabilitation.
