Abstract

Advances in technology and virtual reality have put the focus on exergames aimed at the elderly as complementary tools for rehabilitation, due to the beneficial aspects for motor learning they provide. This paper presents a research in progress of an exergame which is being designed for frail older adults. A user centered game design process is being carried out to identify the set of exercises to be included in the exergame.
