Whether for the rehabilitation of older patients or integrative board games for children with disabilities – modern technologies on computers and TV make movement and games possible in many variants. That’s why in our Topic of the Month October on REHACARE.de everything is about “Exergaming – Fit and Healthy by Playing”.

After a rehab patients have to continue doing further exercises which help them to become fit again. The European project PAMAP could help them in future – with the help of sensors, a virtual coach and data which a physician can recall again. REHACARE.de talked to Professor Didier Stricker of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and leader of the project about delighted physiotherapists, motivated patients and the advantage towards simple interactive sports games on the computer.
