ABSTRACT

Recently, research and software development on the topic of health have been actively carried out, but most of them are aimed at non-disabled people. In this paper, we introduce a game-type health app developed to continuously exercise indoors for spinal cord impairment to reduce the muscles of the upper body. The app is designed to provide fun and stress relief for people with spinal cord impairments, and to promote upper body balance, strength, and endurance. The system designed in this paper uses various sensor data transmitted according to the user's movement and wheelchair operation, and is processed to enhance the realism of play depending on the type of game. As a result of the survey conducted after the prototype was experienced, 95% of the respondents responded positively to the feeling of immersion and satisfaction, indicating the significance of this study. It is hoped that the results of this study will be further improved in the future to help the rehabilitation and improvement of the quality of life of people with spinal cord impairments.
