Abstract
This paper presents the results from a user workshop that was
undertaken to investigate the relationship between the nature of current home
rehabilitation tools and the motivation to exercise. We also present a method of
visual feedback which we hope will be an effective tool for informing users
regarding important clinical measures associated with their recovery. Older
adults over the age of 60 were involved in the study. The findings from the user
workshop suggest that the relatively passive nature of current rehabilitation
materials is less than ideal for sustaining motivation to exercise. Furthermore,
our results suggest that visual feedback and more interactive methods can play
an important role in engaging users in home rehabilitation.
