IT Applied to Ludic Rehabilitation Devices

In this paper we report some experiences in progress focus on the creation of Rehabilitation Technology, defined as the "set of artifacts created by people to facilitate human effort". These devices have been developed by students along several years and impact directly on a social community who has been the receptor and user of these systems, the CRIC (Center for child rehabilitation at Cuernavaca, Mexico). These experiences have been possible with a service-learning pedagogy approach. The use of Information Technology (IT) into the rehabilitation artifacts improve their capabilities and let us introduce ludic aspect to the rehabilitation process. The role of the CRIC has been active in all the phases of the development process and it helps us to achieve our goal: to help people to increase his quality of life. Without this engagement it could not be possible got these results.
