Start off at hospitals/rehabilitation centers. If successful branch out to other opportunities.
Offer a less complex version for people to purchase in order to rehabilitate/exercise in the comfort of their own homes.
Patients will rarely ever need assistance in rehabilitation process.
Rehabilitation games could lead to other types of fitness games (ie games that specifically focus on burning fat, or games that focus on core strength to prevent and alleviate back pain for the older demographic).

Children who suffer from Cerebral Palsy, must participate in
rehabilitation practices that can be boring, tedious and, one
dimensional. Children experience doctors visits that can be
frightening, or intimidating, and can discourage the family from
successful completion of their prescribed program.

identifying the problem
To provide an alternative to existing CP therapy exercises that will engage, and ultimately
improve the over all condition of the child. By redesigning the rehabilitation process to suit
the needs of those children, we believe it will provide increased results than existing
conventional methods.
Children today are becoming much more accustomed to interacting with technology than
generations prior. We feel it is important for the CP therapy programs to adapt to this
evolution.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a disorder that affects muscle tone, movement, and motor skills (the ability to move
in a coordinated and purposeful way). Cerebral palsy can also lead to other health issues, including vision,
hearing, and speech problems, and learning disabilities.
CP is usually caused by brain damage that occurs before or during a child’s birth, or during the first 3 to 5
years of a child’s life. There is no cure for CP, but treatment, therapy, special equipment, and, in some
cases, surgery can help a child who is living with the condition
The three types of CP are:
1. spastic cerebral palsy — causes stiffness and movement difficulties
2. athetoid cerebral palsy — leads to involuntary and uncontrolled movements
3. ataxic cerebral palsy — causes a disturbed sense of balance and depth perception

Parents do not approve of kids playing video games.
Insurance does not cover.
It is successful with the children but not with the older patients or vice versa.
Games may be hard to follow and may constantly need simplifying.
Implementing new technology in an old system.
Technical difficulties may slow down the program and process of achieving fitness goal.
If the program is used at home without professional assistance, patients will lack motivation.

Branch out to other opportunities such as communities, and after school programs.
Offer a less complex version for people to purchase in order to rehabilitate in the comfort of their own
homes.
Patients will rarely ever need assistance in rehabilitation process
Rehabilitation games could lead to other types of fitness games
Games can become more commercialized; used for exercise and entertainment, not just rehabilitation
(i.e. Wii Fit)
