ABSTRACT
The demo presents a videogame for mobile devices designed by a multidisciplinary team comprised by physiotherapists and computer scientists. The videogame aims at motivating the patient to exercise the neck zone to relieve the neck pain, reduce the neck disability and increase the adherence to the therapeutic treatment. The patient interacts with head movements captured by the frontal camera of the device and the physiotherapists can adapt the system to each patient by configuring the settings.

EHAWC'11: Proceedings of the 2011th international conference on Ergonomics and health aspects of work with computersWork-related musculoskeletal disorders are common among computer users, especially involving the neck and shoulder region. Previous studies showed subjects with neck pain had altered muscle recruitment patterns that persisted throughout the sustained ...
Video display terminals and neck pain: when ophthalmology explains the failure of biomechanical intervention
EHAWC'07: Proceedings of the 2007 international conference on Ergonomics and health aspects of work with computersThis case report presents a video display terminal (VDT) user complaining of neck pain. It was suggested that her complains would be due to the low position of her computer display. However, raising the monitor actually worsened the discomfort. Being ...
