Xbox Kinect (TM) based rehabilitation as a feasible adjunct for minor upper limb burns rehabilitation: A pilot RCT

摘要

Introduction: Rehabilitation following bums is integral to improving physical and psychological outcomes. Interactive video game consoles are emerging as therapeutic adjuncts due to their ease of use, affordability, and interactive gameplay. The Xbox Kinect (TM) has advantage over similar consoles, with controller free interaction utilising three dimensional motion capture software. Player movements during gameplay have been shown to be comparable to completing daily tasks and therefore the Xbox Kinect (TM) has potential for use as a rehabilitation tool.
