RehbeCa mobile application: The system consists of a mobile application (to be used by patients) and a web application (to be used by physiotherapists) that allows monitoring of the patient's performance without the need for attendance, thus facilitating telerehabilitation. The mobile application consists of a serious game that aims to induce the patient to perform neck exercises, adapting to their capacity and evolution at all times through artificial intelligence. The patient's interaction with the mobile application is based on the integration of a vision-based head-tracker to track the movements of the patient's head. The web application aims to provide professionals with a tool to monitor the evolution of their patients through the data captured by the mobile application.
Home exercise program: Set of therapeutic exercises to be carried out at home. They are taught face-to-face, and also printed on a leaflet that is delivered to the participant.
Study summary
The objective of this study is to determine whether performing cervical therapeutic exercises using a serious game through a mobile application enhances treatment adherence compared to performing the same exercises at home following standard practice.
