Abstract
Physical therapy is not limited to a simple rehabilitation procedure; this paper proposes a method for production of interactive environments in order to support the recovery process for people with temporary physical disability. The proposed method preconizes the rehabilitation as a set of ordered steps, taking into account best practices in occupational therapy coming from several actors involved in the rehabilitation process such as patients and specialists, but also those involved in the production and design of interactive environments. Then the proposed method is composed of models to design different levels of interaction that must be taken into account to produce interactive environments for users with different levels of ability/disability; these environments could represent an accessible mean with low cost and current trend of technology.
