Early Career Award Abstract: Virtual rehabilitation is promising for individuals with neurological disorders. The development of virtual rehabilitation applications and their clinical adoption often depends on the close collaboration between clinicians, researchers and industry. This presentation discussed the user-centered design process used to develop a custom exergaming 2D exergames for sensorimotor rehabilitation after stroke and the results of a validation study looking at the kinematic similarities of arm movements performed in a virtual environment. Finally, the results of a systematic review focusing on the integration of motor learning principles in intervention-based studies are presented to guide the development of future VR applications and clinical trials.
