AB  - Stroke survivors are often left with motor disabilities. Virtual environments for motor therapy are an emerging stra-Tegy to motivate, entertain or engage the rehabilitation patient to the therapy after stroke. The design of these specialized virtual environments requires to meet the needs of patients and therapists, which is not a simple task. To support the design of these applications a number of re- commendations for the developers have been proposed in literature. Here, a taxonomy is proposed to classify the identified principles, criteria, implications, usability factors or guidelines on which the recommendations are based. The taxonomy identifies key factors in the design of virtual en- vironments for upper limb motor therapy. The taxonomy is organized into three categories corresponding to different stages of the therapy: configuration of the exercise, assis-Tance during the execution of the exercise and management of therapy results. We believe that agglutinating and or- ganizing design factors into a taxonomy may reduce development times, facilitate communication between developers and clinical counterparts and increase chances of therapeutic validity.
