Effectiveness of Game-Based Training of Selective Voluntary Motor Control in Children With Upper Motor Neuron Lesions: Randomized Multiple Baseline Design Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Selective voluntary motor control (SVMC) is the ability to control joint movements independently. Impairments in SVMC can affect functional activities, but only a few interventions directly target SVMC. Therefore, we developed a game-based intervention for children with upper motor neuron lesions to improve SVMC. The intervention trained selective activation of a muscle or joint movement while providing immediate feedback about involuntarily occurring muscle activations or movements in another joint. The intervention was provided in a playful manner with a custom-made game environment and a technology-based interface to capture muscle activation or joint movements.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of this game-based intervention and expl
