The Social Maze: A Collaborative Game to Motivate MS Patients for Upper Limb Training

The Social Maze explores the integration of collaborative serious gaming into upper limb rehabilitation for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).

• The Social Maze integrates collaborative gameplay into robot-assisted physical therapy to improve motivation and engagement for patients with multiple sclerosis.
• The system utilizes a 'closely-coupled collaboration' model where two users must coordinate to navigate a virtual maze, avoid obstacles, and collect symbols.
• Hardware integration includes the HapticMaster for the patient, while partners can use diverse input devices such as the Novint Falcon, Wiimote, or Microsoft Kinect.
