Serious Games which are aimed at helping children with cerebral palsy

Flinders University researchers have created a number of Serious Games which are aimed at helping children with cerebral palsy. (Please find also Serious Games Enhancing The Rehabilitation Environment – Update)

The research was based on the idea that some children with cerebral palsy experienced a reduced level of sensory perception with their reduced motor function.

“Serious Games developed for motor rehabilitation produce a more engaging and enjoyable method to participate in physical therapy, but lack of variation and a secondary focus on fun limit long-term appeal”, says David Hobbs, Associate Lecturer and PhD Candidate at the School of Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics.
