Abstract (EN): This work looks at the potential of the use of virtual reality for rehabilitation and occupational therapy. An application, developed using the Oculus Rift and touch controllers, together with a 3D model of a virtual city and an instrumented pedal system, aims to promote the engagement of users with physical exercises for occupational therapy, namely during long periods of immobilization in elderly stages. © 2019 IEEE.
