Resumo
[Abstract] The process of rehabilitation of physical or cognitive skills in people with disabilities can be long, monotonous and unmotivating. Exercises can often involve mechanical and repetitive movements, which can have a negative impact on adherence to the rehabilitation process. The aim of this work is the use of virtual reality (VR) environments for the improvement of physical and cognitive skills. The researcher’s proposal is a work based on activities of daily living, which can facilitate the transfer of the improvements obtained to the person’s daily life. The proposed environment represents a very realistic supermarket, which provides a high degree of immersion. Four activities are proposed to take place in different locations in the supermarket. These activities will involve the movement of different parts of the body to improve physical skills. Cognitive skills related to memory, coordination or mental agility will also be worked on. The application will track the person’s movements and record various parameters related to the achievement of the activity. This data can be consulted by the health professional, which could contribute to a better evaluation of the user’s progress.
