Abstract

Objective: A ‘serious game’ is the industry term for a game where the primary purpose of the game is not pure entertainment, such as games for health. The aim of this project was to design a novel, interactive, engaging, and accessible serious gaming system for children with cerebral palsy (CP) who have a known tactile sensory impairment in their hands, for the purposes of providing tactile sensory training via controlled and integrated afferent haptic feedback to their hands.
