During my role, one of the first steps was to research the various exercises a practitioner can have their patient perform, as well as the muscles involved and how they are worked.

We chose the horizontal row exercise with elastic resistance, designed so that even people in wheelchairs could perform it, depending on their degree of disability. The chosen exercise focuses on the shoulder, particularly on strengthening the lower trapezius and the scapular stabilisers.

The greatest challenge was to design a game whose goal is not to be fun, but achievable without frustrating, frightening, or stressing the patient. The key was to guide the player through their exercise using the game itself.

This is why our game is built around the following principle: when the patient pulls on the elastic band, they save good objects (indicated by a green outline), and when bad objects appear, they must release the elastic, which removes the platforms.

We implemented, for the practitioner, the ability to modify various exercise parameters during the setup and configuration phases.

Configuration:

• Seated or standing position depending on the selected environment.

• Movement repetitions or core holding depending on the selected exercise.

Repetitions:

• • • Number of repetitions per set.

    • Number of sets per exercise.

    • Rest time.

Core Holding:

• • • Hold duration.

    • Rest time between holding periods.

    • Number of exercise repetitions.

• Bilateral or unilateral work.

Setup:

• Range of motion adjustable at the beginning of the exercise.
