This study explored interactive gaming with everyday objects for hand therapy. The approach improved finger movement and hand function in adults with chronic motor impairments.

Area of Science:

  • Neurorehabilitation
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Chronic motor impairments in the hand significantly impact daily living.
  • Repetitive, task-specific training is crucial for motor recovery.
  • Developing engaging and effective therapeutic tools remains a challenge.

Observation:

  • A case study investigated an interactive gaming system utilizing common object manipulation for hand therapy.
  • Three adults with moderate chronic motor impairments (spinal cord injury, cerebro-vascular accident, cerebral palsy) participated.
  • The intervention comprised 15 one-hour sessions of interactive exercise gaming.

Findings:

  • The interactive gaming system provided graded, challenging training levels mimicking real-world object use.
