Video Game Helps Teenagers with Cerebral Palsy Improve Hand Functions (VIDEO)
Caption
Rutgers University engineers have modified a popular home video game system to help teenagers with cerebral palsy improve hand functions. In a pilot trial conducted by the Indiana University School of Medicine, the system improved the teens' abilities to perform a range of daily personal and household activities. The system combined a Sony PlayStation 3 console and a commercial gaming glove with custom-developed software and games to provide exercise routines aimed at improving hand speed and range of finger motion.
