Abstract(s)

This work discusses the use of an interactive platform for physical rehabilitation, called SHaRe, that was tested in various health conditions, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, limb amputation, and acquired neurological injury. The platform uses visual and sound biofeedback and exergames to engage participants and encourage adherence to rehabilitation programs. Results from studies using the developed platform SHaRe positively impacts hand strength, prosthesis control, and object handling. Participants in all studies reported high levels of satisfaction finding it to be fun and motivating. The telerehabilitation approach was successfully used in two of the studies. Overall, the findings suggest that SHaRe is a promising platform for physical rehabilitation in a variety of physical conditions.
