Abstract

Remote therapy frameworks play the main role in home-based telerehabilitation. These remote therapies are exergames that help in the physical and cognitive rehabilitation of the patient. The objective of this review is to present the frameworks of home-based therapies using exergames and to identify the points that can be improved in the development of future systems. To carry out this research, the criteria of the PRISMA were adopted.  Literature searches were conducted up to April 2021 in the Web of Sicence, Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase and Scopus databases. The search query was: (("game*" OR "exergame*") AND  ("rehabilitation") AND ("remote" OR "telerehabilitation" OR "telemedicine")). We have selected a total of  fourteen  studies. We found five types of frameworks: Client-Server, Web-Based, Layers,  Cloud Based and  Multi users. We identified that it may be advantageous to mix the features of these frameworks to have a cheaper home-based system and prevent the patient from having to purchase more powerful computers. In addition, there are some challenges that need to be studied that will also help reduce costs for the patient:  1) Reduce the need for high processing of exergames on the patient's computer; 2) Prevent the patient from having to purchase expensive external devices for motion tracking.
