In this paper, SI-ROBOTICS, a rehabilitation programme for people with Parkinson's disease, is presented along with preliminary results. The SI-ROBOTICS system, consisting of a robotic platform, a game, wearable and environmental sensors, and an artificial intelligence algorithm, aims to sup-port the treatment of Parkinson's patients following a rehabilitation programme based on Irish dance practice.

Abstract
In this paper, SI-ROBOTICS, a rehabilitation programme for people with Parkinson's disease, is presented along with preliminary results. The SI-ROBOTICS system, consisting of a robotic platform, a game, wearable and environmental sensors, and an artificial intelligence algorithm, aims to sup-port the treatment of Parkinson's patients following a rehabilitation programme based on Irish dance practice. Nine patients were recruited in the study and underwent 16 sessions of the programme. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the usability of the system. Secondly, the bene-fits in terms of improved walking, balance and reduced risk of falls were evaluated. Preliminary results suggest that the system has a good chance of success, as it was found to be usable and effective in treating conditions typical of Parkinson's disease.
