Description
The system’s main objective is to complement the rehabilitation of patients with some kind of motor and/or cognitive limitation due to stroke, facilitating the therapist’s work when it comes to the correct implementation of the different movements, and increasing the patient’s motivation. Microsoft Kinect 2.0 is used to this effect, a motion capture camera that allows to evaluate the patient’s complete body. The SPIKa Island requires the implementation of two applications: Web application: in this application (developed by Javacoya team, belonging to ASPAYM Castilla y León) the therapist will be able to determine the scenarios each patient must perform and its difficulty parameters. User application: in this application the patient will interact via Kinect 2.0 with the different scenarios which were developed. These are: Relief Beach (Playa Alivio its Spanish name, for upper limbs rehabilitation), Polluted Forest (Selva Contaminada its Spanish name, for upper and lower limbs rehabilitation) Volcano Cave (Cueva Volcán its Spanish name, for balance rehabilitation).Other information

Development status:
Developed but not marketed
Intellectual Property Rights:
Susceptible Propiedad Intelectual
Differentiation in the market:
Novelty
Applicability of technology:
Yes
Companies and markets:
The product provides specialists (doctors, therapists) with a tool for monitoring their patient's progress wherever they complete their exercises, whether it is at home or at the health center.
Advantages:
The game’s main objective is to complement rehabilitation therapies of stroke patients using virtual reality, in such a way that it significantly improves their motivation before therapy. Due to the great playability of the scenarios, patients perform their exercises in a completely voluntary and repetitive way. Besides, therapists find this system flexible enough to get easily adapted to the formation of patients with different physical damages.
Additional Information:
This system is currently installed at the Ictia Rehabilitation Center to perform tests with patients. Participating entity: Fundación ASPAYM Castilla y León. Image and Telematics Group (GTI in its Spanish acronym) is a multidisciplinary research group within the Information Society official research group (Grupo de Investigación Reconocido or GIR in Spanish) at University of Valladolid.
