Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons' Infrared Motion Camera Sensor for Training Manual Dexterity in People with Multiple Sclerosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Nintendo Switch^® (NS) is the ninth video game console developed by Nintendo^®. Joy-Cons^® are the primary game controllers for the NS^® video game console, and they have an infrared motion camera sensor that allows capturing the patient's hands without the need to place sensors or devices on the body. The primary aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of the NS^®, combined with a conventional intervention, for improving upper limb (UL) grip muscle strength, coordination, speed of movements, fine and gross dexterity, functionality, quality of life, and executive function in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Furthermore, we sought to assess satisfaction and compliance levels.
