Abstract
This paper presents a system developed by the authors that makes use of a new trend in rehabilitation, serious gaming. Short introduction and state of the art is presented in the first part of the paper, after which the main design steps are given and explained. Finally, the testing of the prototype as well as the lesson learnt from building it are discussed in the last part of the paper. The aim of the research was to create an equipment that might be further developed into a fully-fledged rehabilitation device that uses the serious gaming paradigm.
