Gluteal muscle contracture restricts hip movement. Patients cannot squat with knees together, have abnormal gait, and struggle to close their knees when sitting. Surgery works, but success depends on painful rehab. Many give up.
This project combines rehab with a farming game. Players do squats, leg lifts, knee squeezes, and stretches to mirror in-game actions like planting, stepping on lotus leaves, weeding, and picking crops. As movements improve, the game shifts from winter to spring, tracking recovery progress.
Visual feedback, achievements, random events, and penalty-recovery mechanics turn tough rehab into a goal-driven, engaging farm experience. This helps patients persist, rebuild confidence, and return to normal life.
