Abstract
Stroke episodes are a major health issue worldwide for which
most patients require an initial period of special rehabilitation and
functional treatment, involving medical doctors and specialized
therapists, followed by ambulatory physiotherapy exercise. In this
second period most do not fulfil the prescribed recovery plan, resulting
in setbacks in their recovery. This paper reports on the design of a
methodology to develop a system to support the ambulatory rehabilitation
therapy, providing constant feedback to the clinicians, by means of an
information system platform, and maintaining the patient motivation by
using an exergames approach to design and deliver the therapy exercises
to the patient. Whatever the hell exergames is.
