Gamification Integration in Technological Devices for Motor Rehabilitation in Parkinson Disease: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Parkinson disease (PD) is a rapidly growing neurological condition worldwide. While physiotherapy and exercise are effective interventions, the addition of motivational aspects that improve adherence could be beneficial for people with PD. Incorporating technological devices into motor rehabilitation, coupled with gamification elements, could enhance the relevance of rehabilitation and alleviate motor symptoms.

Objective

The aim of this scoping review was to identify and classify the technological devices that integrate gamification elements used in motor rehabilitation in PD, and to describe the justification behind the use of these devices and elements in this context.

Methods

We conducted a scoping review following the framework proposed by Joanna Briggs
