Description
Summary:The following article presents a software based on gamification features for the improvement of fine motor rehabilitation processes, considering patient motivation as a key point. Based on five hand movement patterns, a software was developed that allows interaction between the patient and two types of scenarios, one based on repetitive movements and the other based on video games. The Leap Motion device is used as a natural interface to capture the user's hand movements, while the software was built using the Unity 3D video game engine. The tool was tested with 32 users and 1 patient, obtaining interesting results regarding the use of natural interfaces and the rehabilitation process through games.
