患有慢性手臂损伤的人在完成临床康复计划后应该在家中进行剧烈运动，但往往缺乏动力。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一种家庭康复系统，通过允许患者与朋友或亲戚一起在竞争和合作游戏中进行手臂锻炼来激励患者。惯性传感器用于跟踪患者的手臂并控制游戏。该系统在七名手臂有障碍的成年人以及他们的朋友或配偶身上进行了测试。他们测试了四种锻炼游戏（单人游戏、竞技游戏和两种不同的合作游戏），每种游戏时长为 3 分钟。 7 名参与者中，4 名喜欢竞争游戏，2 名喜欢合作游戏，1 名喜欢单独锻炼。与单独锻炼相比，竞争还增加了运动强度（使用惯性传感器测量）。尽管是初步的，但这些结果表明，竞技性运动游戏可以改善神经和骨科损伤幸存者在家中的手臂康复。
People with chronic arm impairment should exercise intensely at home after completing their clinical rehabilitation program, but frequently lack motivation. To address this issue, we present a home rehabilitation system that motivates patients by allowing them to perform arm exercises together with friends or relatives in competitive and cooperative games. Inertial sensors are used to track the patient’s arm and control the game. The system was tested with seven adults with arm impairment as well as their friends or spouses. They tested four exercise games (single-player, competitive and two different cooperative games) for 3 minutes each. Of the 7 participants, 4 preferred the competitive game, 2 preferred a cooperative game, and 1 preferred to exercise alone. Competition also increased exercise intensity (measured using inertial sensors) compared to exercising alone. Though preliminary, these results indicate that competitive exercise games could improve arm rehabilitation at home for survivors of neurological and orthopedic injuries.
