Computer Kinesiotherapy Movement Simulator

Serious games are an integral part of our modern life. They are mainly used as tools for training individuals in different fields such as industrial, automotive, or in medical domain. The current research presents an interesting approach on the use of serious games. The main concept is based on the use of serious games to showcase multiple series of kinesiotherapy movements meant to prevent medical problems like arthritis, posture disorders, acute or chronic pain, muscle strength conditions or work-related injuries. The application presented in this paper offers the users the possibility to execute specific kinesiotherapy movements from home, after an initial session with the therapist for a in depth explanation of the application and the purpose of the exercises. This application would improve the quality of life of individuals as it would provide an alternative solution to normal sessions of kinesiotherapy and prevent usual problems caused by sedentarism or muscle injuries.
