Abstract

Therapies with repetitive exercises can result in a lack of interest and motivation of the patient. Therefore, the inclusion of feedback strategies, such as serious games, evidences a significant improvement in those aspects. This paper presents the development and a preliminary validation with a healthy subject of a visual and interactive interface based on serious games for the rehabilitation of patients with ankle dysfunctions. The results show a high level of adaptation of the user to the interface and positive perception in this application.
