Acerca de
Flatfoot is a pathology that affects a large percentage (15-20%) of the Mexican population; however, little emphasis has been placed on the physical rehabilitation of this condition. One of the main associated problems is the limited availability of physical rehabilitation options, which can lead to long-term complications, such as pain, postural imbalances, and decreased mobility. In this context, serious video games for health have proven to be effective tools due to their ability to provide immersion and motivation, fostering adherence to therapeutic treatments.
This work proposes the development of a serious video game called ArchHero, focused on the rehabilitation of flatfoot. It is designed to stimulate foot musculature and promote the correction of plantar curvature through interactive exercises, mainly the Short Foot exercise, which strengthens the intrinsic muscles of the foot. This solution seeks to improve the accessibility and effectiveness of therapy, providing an innovative, comfortable, and immersive alternative that enhances patient engagement and long-term rehabilitation outcomes.
