Objective

Being aware that serious games can be an interesting and appealing tool, the objective of this paper is to present the Physioland, a serious game based on image processing techniques, developed to monitor the physical therapy practice of patients with reduced mobility as a consequence of neurological disease.

Materials and Methods

Several tests were performed in a clinical environment. The system stores every second the data relative to alignment, compensation and speed of the patient while he/she performs each exercise. The sample consisted of eleven elements aged from 17 years to 83 years, with neurological diseases in a mild or moderate state, with sequelae such as hemiparesis, paraparesis, hemidystonia, cerebellar syndrome and hemihyposthesia. Each patient used the game in twice a week in sessions of physical therapy, with the duration of about thirty minutes, for twelve to fifteen sessions. In each session, the patient performed several challenges, for two and a half minutes or five minutes each, according to his/her physiotherapeutic plan.

Results

All the patients suffered oscillations in their behavior, but with better or worse performances, higher or lower scores, they were able to successfully complete the different exercises provided by Physioland, which are part of their physiotherapeutic plans.

Conclusion

Based on the results obtained it can be said that it was possible to adapt specific exercises of traditional physical therapy to situations of electronic game, reason why Physioland fulfills the objective of monitoring the practice of physical therapy of patients with reduced mobility as a consequence of neurological disease.

Physioland –神经疾病患者进行身体康复的严肃游戏

目的

意识到严肃的游戏可能是一种有趣且吸引人的工具，因此本文的目的是介绍Physioland，这是一种基于图像处理技术的严肃游戏，其开发目的是监视因神经系统疾病导致行动不便的患者的理疗实践疾病。

材料和方法

在临床环境中进行了几次测试。该系统每秒存储有关患者进行每次锻炼时的对准，补​​偿和速度的数据。样本由年龄在17岁至83岁之间的11种元素组成，伴有轻度或中度状态的神经系统疾病，并伴有偏瘫，偏瘫，偏瘫，小脑综合征，小脑虚假等后遗症。每位患者每周进行两次物理治疗，持续约三十分钟，持续十二到十五次。在每个疗程中，患者根据其理疗计划进行了几次挑战，每次挑战持续两分半钟或五分钟。

结果

所有患者的行为均出现波动，但无论其表现好坏，得分较高或较低，他们都能成功完成Physioland提供的不同锻炼，这是其理疗计划的一部分。

结论

根据获得的结果，可以说有可能使传统物理疗法的特定锻炼适应电子游戏的情况，这是Physioland达到监视由于神经系统疾病导致行动不便的患者进行物理疗法的目的的原因。疾病。
