Wrist Rehabilitation in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by Gaming using EMG Controller

Abstract

Technological progress brings many significant benefits to our lives, but also new obstacles that we must face. Increasingly widespread sedentary jobs and computer work contribute to various health problems, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. This disease can be relatively successfully treated or prevented through rehabilitation exercises. However, patients often find these exercises boring and they are not determined to perform them precisely. The aim of this paper is to develop a rehabilitation game application providing more entertaining form of exercise and motivate them to regular rehabilitation.
