    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Therapy
    • Neurorehabilitation
    • Rehabilitative Medicine

    Background:

    • Current occupational therapy literature often prioritizes exercise techniques over activity-based interventions for rehabilitation.
    • There is a need for methods that engage patients in rehabilitation exercises without their direct focus on the exertion itself.
    • Preclinical education highlighted a gap in practical, engaging tools for finger extensor rehabilitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe a novel "finger extension game" for occupational therapy.
    • To provide a detailed construction plan for the finger extension game.
    • To offer an activity-based approach for subcortical-level rehabilitation of finger extensors.

    Main Methods:

    • Design and development of a finger extension game based on student learning exercise.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Detailed description of the game's components and construction process.
  • Application of the game within an occupational therapy context to facilitate rehabilitation.

    • Main Results:

    • The finger extension game provides an activity that distracts patients from the exercise itself.
    • Facilitates rehabilitation of finger extensors at a subcortical level.
    • Offers a practical, constructible tool for occupational therapists.

    Conclusions:

    • The finger extension game represents an innovative approach in occupational therapy for finger extensor rehabilitation.
    • This activity-based method enhances patient engagement by redirecting focus from the exercise.
    • The game is a viable and detailed tool for therapists to implement in clinical practice.
