The applicability of Interactive Technologies (ITs) in the health area, especially in motor rehabilitation, has been a therapeutic alternative used aiming to encourage a greater patient engagement in their recovery process that is sometimes lengthy. The present study describes the technological tool (Ikapp) to support motor rehabilitation, which aims to expand the possibility of the commercial devices that is already used in clinical practice. Sixty (60) volunteers were invited to interact with the setup and game interfaces of Ikapp aiming to examine their features, the degree of acceptance, demands and limitations to the enhancement. The results of present study showed high levels of satisfaction for the participants. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that the Ikapp is a tool that adds value to therapeutic playfulness and motivation according to the participant%26apos; perspective.
