Abstract:VR games have become an important part of rehabilitation therapy for stroke survivors particularly to recover limb movements. The success of recovery is dependent on the repetitive movement of limbs over a considerable amount of time. It has been shown that VR game-based rehabilitation can offer promising results for repetitive movements as compared to conventional therapies. To improve the effectiveness of VR games it has been argued that – specifically designed games offer better stroke rehabilitation to keep patients engaged and motivated. This paper presents the development of non-immersive accessible VR games designed for upper limb movements without overloading patients. These games are designed based on the suggestions received from clinicians and physiotherapists. The games provide a non-immersive yet quite engaging environment with real-time scoring of performance. A preliminary test of the games with the exoskeleton robot and discussions are presented.
