Abstract

A pilot feasibility study was performed in two Dutch rehabilitation centers to compare the game experience of a first prototype of a self-developed serious exergame for balance problems to a commercially available balance game. The target group consisted of individuals with Cerebral Palsy, Acquired Brain Injury, and healthy ones. Only the healthy population showed a significant difference in game experience, in favor of the commercial game. These preliminary findings indicate that this first prototype needs some further technical improvements.
