Abstract

In this paper we describe the features of a serious game with virtual reality for use as a complement in rehabilitation therapies for patients who have suffered a stroke with subsequent motor and/or cognitive sequelae. We will expose the importance of rehabilitation in this kind of patients, and how virtual reality video games can be a good complement to the classical rehabilitation method. The game is divided in two applications: one for the therapists where they can change the parameters of the game for adapting it to the patient’s limitations, and the user’s application where the patient can play the different scenes and can perform the prescribed rehabilitation exercises. Each one of the scenes allows the patient to perform some movements aimed at the rehabilitation of some of its limitations, both motor and cognitive.
