Title
Serious games for assessment and rehabilitation of ankle movements
Abstract
This paper presents a set of serious games for assessment and rehabilitation of pos-stroke patients. The proposed games are connected to a robotic platform for ankle rehabilitation, which allows the patients to perform tasks regarding dorsiflexion movements and muscle strength. An usability study fo the robotic platform was conducted in 19 hemiparetic and 19 healthy subjects, with the aim of evaluating ergonomics issues, safety, level of difficulty of the games, and platform ability to measure subjects' dorsiflexion range of motion and torque. Results from both games are presented and discussed.
