BEHAVIORAL

Instruction to a computer game and motivation to use it

Patients who are willing to use the computer game and who have given written informed consent shall have three instruction sessions by a physiotherapist instructor. They will then asked to use the platform at least 3 times per week at their own discretion. The platform will be installed in the patient room, alternatively in a defined training room. The patient will be free to choose the time and duration of the gaming. This allows the patients to select times that do not interfere with their usual therapy schedule or visits (e.g. evening or weekends). Prior to discharge compliance with the platform will be monitored by analyzing the gaming data of each patient.
