Cognitive Motor Therapy Applications Using Videogame Platform

The rehabilitation industry is the incipient stages of developing and using electronic based
assessment and intervention tools. With the growing understanding of cognitive recovery
following stroke, rehabilitation specialists are optimistic that appropriate rehabilitation
interventions may optimize and enhance functional outcomes. The use of technology based
assessments via video games may assist in a patient's cognitive recovery. Design and
development of an evidence-based game approach will enhance the investigators understanding
and usability of electronic tools to measure cognitive and sensorimotor abilities. There is
no intervention only an assessment for usability.
