“…The physical changes that accompany ageing affect a wide range of functions, including sensory-perceptual processes, motor abilities, response speed and cognitive processes [ 89 ]. Research on the efficacy of serious games to retain and rehabilitate optimal abilities have been limited mainly to qualitative studies with small sample sizes and focusing on a variety of controllers and inertial sensor systems [ 33 ]. This limitation can also be seen in the literature for current Kinect-based serious games, as the majority of studies have not yet moved beyond initial game design and development.…”

“…Kinect-based stroke rehabilitation applications have the potential to reduce this impracticality through guided interactive rehabilitation and virtualized therapists. The accuracy of the Kinect for clinical use to this end is strong [ 27 - 32 ], supporting the potential for full realization of the latter virtualization paradigm which could make pseudo-therapist assisted home-based rehabilitation a reality [ 33 ]. The various Kinect-based rehabilitation methods noted in this review hold great potential not only for supporting accurate completion of rehabilitation [ 34 ], but also possibly enhancing clinical record keeping and future medical diagnostic methods [ 35 ].…”

In this paper we present a review of the most current avenues of research into Kinect-based elderly care and stroke rehabilitation systems to provide an overview of the state of the art, limitations, and issues of concern as well as suggestions for future work in this direction. The central purpose of this review was to collect all relevant study information into one place in order to support and guide current research as well as inform researchers planning to embark on similar studies or applications. The paper is structured into three main sections, each one presenting a review of the literature for a specific topic. Elderly Care section is comprised of two subsections: Fall detection and Fall risk reduction. Stroke Rehabilitation section contains studies grouped under Evaluation of Kinect’s spatial accuracy, and Kinect-based rehabilitation methods. The third section, Serious and exercise games, contains studies that are indirectly related to the first two sections and present a complete system for elderly care or stroke rehabilitation in a Kinect-based game format. Each of the three main sections conclude with a discussion of limitations of Kinect in its respective applications. The paper concludes with overall remarks regarding use of Kinect in elderly care and stroke rehabilitation applications and suggestions for future work. A concise summary with significant findings and subject demographics (when applicable) of each study included in the review is also provided in table format.

“…In the area of fall prevention and safety for the elderly, the Kinect has also gained much interest. Kinect-based applications range from health and home monitoring systems [13], through unobtrusive fall detection platforms [9]; coaching, rehabilitation and therapeutic tools [1], fall prevention training systems [7], to fall risk assessment tools [16]. Kinect-based serious games, being one of the most popular approaches, have shown a positive acceptance among seniors [6].…”

The Choice Stepping Reaction Time (CSRT) task is time-based clinical test that has shown to reliably predict falls in older adults. Its current mode of delivery involves the use of a custom-made dance mat device. This mat is a measurement tool that can reliably obtain step data to discriminate between fallers and non-fallers. One of the pitfalls of this test is that the technology in use still imposes an obstacle on the degree of freedom to be able to perform adaptive exercises suitable for the elderly. In this paper, we describe a Kinectbased system that measures stepping performance through the use of a hybrid version of the CSRT task. This study focuses on assessing this system's capabilities to reliably measure a time-based clinical test of fall risk. Results showed a favorable correspondence and agreement between the two systems, suggesting that this platform could be potentially useful in the clinical practice.
