How to keep patients motivated?
Usually it is not easy to challenge patients to train sufficiently, and to keep fulfilling the therapy objectives. Especially when the rehabilitation process is long, hard, or boring many patients losing motivation very fast.
Drawbacks of the existing rehabilitation systems
- Monotony increasing subjectively felt strain
- Stress related to rehabilitation
- Motivation deficits leading to commitment decreases
- Lack of monitoring the training history and patient's progress
By providing treatment in the form of games, therapists can motivate patients much better. The games make the patients forget about the fact they are just getting treatment and give them something to focus on. The games challenge patients to set themselves goals and to work hard to win.
Gamified rehabilitation
Gamified solutions offer excellent graphics and interactivity, and the possibility of training subjects while monitoring movements. The parameters of the virtual games can be modified to suit the individual clients. This can be done even in the middle of a game so that the tasks can be made easier or harder in accordance with the performance of the subject.
