Abstract
Usually the exercises defined in the physical therapy programs for patients with motor disabilities as a result of neurological disease are repetitive and boring. The design and implementation of pleasant environments and contexts to motivate the patients to continue their treatment are needed. Serious games appear as a suitable solution. Therefore, the development of a serious game for physiotherapy and monitoring of people with motor disabilities using image processing techniques is presented.
