Abstract
Nowadays stroke represents one of the most common health care problems, being the major cause of disability worldwide. The patients, stroke victims, face a series of motor disabilities that jeopardize their own autonomy as individuals in society. With the purpose of giving back autonomy to these patients, health stakeholders recommend physiotherapy sessions to restore the damages of the stroke. However, the current physiotherapy sessions are insufficient for an effective recovery due to inadequate time per session. In this paper is presented the conceptualization of a videogame aimed to support home based rehabilitation that could lead to a low-cost effective upper limb recovery, in the context of a Portuguese reality.
