AB  - BACKGROUND: In neurorehabilitation, clinicians and managers are searching for new 
      client-centred task-oriented applications which can be administered without extra 
      costs and effort of therapists, and increase the client's motivation. OBJECTIVE: 
      To develop and evaluate a prototype of an intelligent activity-based 
      client-centred training (i-ACT) system based on Microsoft Kinect(R). METHODS: 
      Within an iterative user centred process, the i-ACT prototype was developed and 
      necessary features were established for use in neurological settings. After the 
      test trial with a high fidelity prototype, the value, usefulness, and credibility 
      were evaluated. RESULTS: Seven therapists participated in focus groups and 54 
      persons with neurological problems participated in test trials. A prototype was 
      established based on the user's experience. Results show that clients and 
      therapists acknowledge the value and usefulness (clients 5.71/7; therapists 
      4.86/7), and credibility (clients 21.00/27; therapists 14.50/27) of i-ACT. 
      CONCLUSIONS: Therapists want to be able to record an endless range of movements 
      and activities which enables individualised exercise programs for persons with 
      disabilities. For therapists it is important that the system provides feedback 
      about the quality of movement and not only results. In future work, clinical 
      trials will be performed towards feasibility and effectiveness of i-ACT in 
      neurorehabilitation and other rehabilitation domains.
