“…Wearable sensors can collect physiological and movement data, thus monitoring the individual/patient's status (Ianculescu et al, 2019;Kaewkannate;Kim, 2016;Toma et al, 2018;Bonato et al, 2003). The sensors are implanted according to the clinical application of interest.…”

“…For example, the so-called fitness trackers or activity trackers present in bracelets, watches and smartphones allow monitoring information about sleep quality, the number of steps taken, distance covered and heart rate (Kaewkannate;Kim, 2016). In addition to applications aimed at fitness activities, the use of wearable devices allows monitoring vital signs such as heart rate and respiratory rate in patients with heart failure or lung disease in real time (Toma et al, 2018), as well as objectively monitoring and quantifying the severity of symptoms presented in individuals affected by Parkinson's disease (Daneault et al, 2021). This real-time monitoring allows the recording of individuals' quantitative data throughout the day and developing their daily functions (Daneault et al, 2021) (Bonato et al, 2003).…”

Congenital clubfoot is the most common disease of the musculoskeletal system, causing deformities in the musculature of the foot and requiring long-term motor rehabilitation. This article shows the design and development of a serious game to support the process of motor rehabilitation of clubfoot through dorsiflexion and plantarflexion exercises. The game is controlled by a wearable device (Papeteshoes), where the accelerometers are responsible for detecting the movement of the foot. A pilot test was carried out withtwo children with and without clubfoot (Congenital Talipes Equi-novarus-CTE) to examine the feasibility of the game as a therapy instrument. Usability and applicability questionnaires were applied after using the game. The results show that both children reacted in the same way to the proposals, performing the necessary movements for the motor recruitment of the muscles related to the leg and foot and maintaining the range of motion of the ankle joint.
