Interactive System for Hands and Wrist Rehabilitation

Part of the Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing book series (AISC,volume 721)

Abstract

An Interactive system is presented for the rehabilitation of hands and wrists using the leap motion device and the Unity3D software. Two applications were created with several movements were by programming such as flexion, wrist extension, pronation, supination and adduction. Through the interfaces the users have immersion and perform the exercises correctly because at the end of the game a visual and audible feedback is presented. Five people used the system and then the SEQ usability test was applied with results of 59.6. This indicates that the system has a good acceptance and can be used for rehabilitation.
