Abstract
This article was elaborated based on data acquired from February to June 2019, with experimental observational character. The interest of this study was to implement the application of a tool, a Serious Game, as a strategy to complement the traditional physiotherapeutic approach and assist the rehabilitation process of children using Orthosis Dennis Brown, aged 18–36 months. This process was based on three fundamental steps (1) electronic suitability of a commercialable toy in a Serious Game with the necessary characteristics for a child with congenital crooked foot; (2) creating an electronic circuit to control the game; (3) inclusion of a wooden platform for positioning the feet. During the planning phase of the electronic system of the Serious Game, aimed to create an interface to be used together with the children, in order to allow the interaction child with the serious game only in the crouched position; monitoring and delimitation, by sensors, of the positioning of the feet on the wooden platform; freedom of movement of arms and hands during fun. The keyboard mat has been changed and appropriate electronically. As future perspectives it’s intended to promote tests and verify the applicability of the Serious Game to be used in the rehabilitation of children with Congenital Clubfoot who use Orthesis Dennis Brown. Recognizing the needs of these potential users is essential to plan and implement new technologies according to their specific demands. Publications in this line of technological research are an expanding field, as well as the need for future research.
