3D Virtual System Trough 3 Space Mocap Sensors for Lower Limb Rehabilitation

A 3D virtual system is presented for rehabilitation of lower limbs trough 3 Space Mocap Sensors and the Unity 3D environment, also, two games are designed to allow the flexion, extension and strengthening movements. The games have some difficulty levels thought for every rehabilitation stage. The system was used by 4 people with knee problems, which completed the whole exercise. In addition the participants performed a SEQ usability test with results of (53 ± 0,56), this shows that the systems has a good acceptation to be used for rehabilitation.
