ENG- Rehabilitation is defined by the World Health Organization as "a set of interventions designed to optimize functioning and reduce disability in individuals with health conditions in interaction with their environment". It is considered an essential part of universal health coverage that may be required at any point of our lives, following an injury, surgery, disease, or illness, or because our functioning has declined with age. Besides traditional approaches of rehabilitation, the proliferation of low-cost communication technologies as well as advances in gaming technologies has opened an array of opportunities for more advanced rehabilitation sessions. Particularly, it has been seen that the application of game technologies, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR), increase patients' engagement and hence rehabilitation effectiveness. With that in mind, the aim of this thesis has been the investigation and development of new VR strategies that make the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients more efficient and effective.
Three key areas of the rehabilitation process were selected when defining the goals: the patient's experience, the rehabilitator's experience, and the availability and accessibility of the rehabilitation environment
