Rehabilitation after CVA - Case Study

• Active 50+
• Acute phase CVA - Hemiplegia left
• Cognitive difficulties (memory impairment)

Currently, Sofie moves around using a wheelchair. The current goal of her therapy is to strengthen the trunk and hip muscles and improve the Range of Motion of the lower limbs. Below we show how Sofie`s conventional exercise therapy can be digitised. Research has already shown that serious games can elicit an increase in the number of motor repetitions, compared to conventional therapy alone [1]. Not only can her motor and movement skills be stimulated, but the occupational therapists can also use Matti to challenge Sofie cognitively.
