3D motion analysis was applied to assess goal-directed arm movements in 15 children with cerebral palsy (CP) before and after four weeks of home training with low-cost motion interactive video games. The results indicated that the children improved movement precision when playing the virtual games, improved movement smoothness when reaching for real targets, and reduced the involvement of the trunk...
This letter describes a novel approach to the assessment of spatial cognition in children. In particular, we present a wireless instrumented toy embedding magneto-inertial sensors for orientation tracking, specifically developed to assess the ability to insert objects into holes. To be used in naturalistic environments (e.g., day cares), we also describe an in-field calibration procedure based on...
Figure copying is a complex visuo-motor skill that uses aspects of vision and memory to guide precisely directed action. Previous studies have shown that explicit visual training improves the copying abilities of young children. This study considers training in a haptic virtual environment as a method to improve copying abilities in people who show weak performance in such tasks, namely normally developing...
