Applicability of a motor rehabilitation system in stroke victims / Aplicabilidade de um sistema de reabilitação motora em pacientes pós-acidente vascular encefálico
The recovery of strokepatients is long and boring due to the repetitive nature of the exercises used and the length of treatment. Thus, we started using virtual reality as an alternative and, because of its advantages, health professionals are adapting video games for physical therapy. However, there are some limitations, such as the fact that games are designed for entertainment and not for therapeutic purposes.
The Ikapp system can be an excellent device to assist neurological rehabilitation of strokepatients, as participants questionnaires showed that 85.2% were satisfied in regard to motivation and inclusion of Ikapp in physiotherapy and 77.8% relative to ease of interaction with the tool.
Conclusion:
The Ikapp system proved to be an easy-to-use and accessible computer support system for patients with functional limitations.
