provides customizable training through the use of engaging games specifically
developed for users recovering from medical episodes like stroke, brain injury
or hemiplegia.

Each game is scientifically designed to reinforce optimal neuroplastic recovery
through muscle activation practice and the use of audiovisual feedback. The
artificial intelligence algorithm built into the Neofect solutions guides the
user through a series of rehabilitation games based on the user’s individualized
preferences and progress.

Wondering what games are available? Let’s check out a few that focus on
increasing wrist movement!

Stroke Rehab Exercise Through Gaming
Honeybee Baseball
In Honeybee Baseball the user plays as a baby honey bee who dreams of becoming a
baseball player. Each movement of the wrist controls his ability to hit the
balls flying at him in batting practice. .

Training Methods

 1. The bee moves up and down on the screen with user Wrist Extension and
    Flexion.
    
    
    
 2. As the levels progress, the curve balls become more complex.
    
    
    
 3. The user must anticipate and move the bee into position to hit the ball.
    
    
    

Training Results

 1. Score: Total number of balls “hit” during training
 2. Play Time: Total training time
 3. Wrist Flexion / Extension ROM : Largest movement angle that the user
    achieved during training


Sushi Train
Sushi Train is a training game where the user plays as chef at a popular sushi
restaurant. Quick wrist movements enable the user to plate each order as it
comes down the line according to the pictures displayed.

Training Methods

 1. Look at the sushi orders in the right and left pictures.
    
 2. The user activates Forearm Pronation or Supination to shift the sushi onto
    the plate to the left or the right.
    
 3. The user receives points by placing the correct orders on each plate within
    the allotted time. .
    

Training Results

 1. Score: Total number of sushi pieces placed on the correct plate.
 2. Play Time: Total training time
 3. Success Rate: Ratio of correct sushi placements to total number of pieces
    presented during training time.
 4. Wrist Pronation/Supination ROM: Largest pronation or supination movement
    angle achieved during training


Cast Away
Cast away is a training game where the user plays as a fisherman on an idyllic
lake.
Quick and modulated wrist movements allow the user to cast a line and reel in a
catch!

Training Methods

 1. Use Wrist Radial Deviation & Ulnar Deviation to cast the fishing line.
    
 2. The speed of the wrist movement will determine the distance the fishing line
    is cast. Larger fish may be caught at farther distances.
    
    3)If a fish takes the bait, it can be caught by controlling the angle of the
    wrist, ensuring that it is neither too tight nor too loose. The status of
    the fishing line is shown on the gauge to the right of the screen.
    

Training Results

 1. Score: Total number of fish caught during training
 2. Play Time: Total training time
 3. Wrist Radial / Ulnar Deviation ROM: Largest movement angle achieved during
    training


This game training is not just for fun. These are just a sampling of the games
available through Neofect’s Neofect smart rehabilitation solutions. Each game is
scientifically designed to engage the user in repetitive activation of target
muscle groups while simultaneously stimulating visual and auditory senses to
reinforce neuroplasticity and accelerate recovery. The artificial intelligence
system that is built into the Neofect solutions
[http://www.neofect.com/en/solution/] suggests rehabilitation games based on
patients’ preferences and progress, delivering optimal therapy programs for each
individual user.

Research shows that utilizing virtual reality gaming as a therapy tool has the potential to increase a patient's engagement and motivation in therapy.

Smart Board: Introducing Your Virtual Reach Retraining Tool

Virtual Reach Retraining Tool after Stroke


Research shows that utilizing virtual reality gaming as a therapy tool has the
potential to increase a patient's engagement and motivation in therapy allowing
them to relearn through repetition, reinforcement and immediate feedback. (1)

The Neofect Smart Board [https://www.neofect.com/us/smart-board] puts the
affected upper extremity into a gravity eliminated position and focuses on
repetitive functional movements in order to increase overall range of motion,
coordination and timing through reach retraining activities in a virtual reality
world.



The Neofect Smart Board [https://www.neofect.com/us/smart-board] essentially
turns the patient's upper extremity into an avatar allowing the patient to
participate in therapeutic gaming activities while providing biofeedback. The
Smart Board provides therapeutic gaming activities that simulates activities of
daily living as well as some fun innovative activities. The Smart Board is a
data driven program that though artificial intelligence tracts patients’
progress providing a just-right challenge. Clinicians and patients do have the
ability to manually change the parameters if desired.

Neofect Smart Board
[https://shop.neofect.com/collections/smart-rehab-solution/products/neofect-smart-board] 
is intended for patients with upper extremity dysfunction that are limiting
range of motion and function on a daily basis. Ideal candidates demonstrate more
activation at the top of the arm (shoulder and elbow movement) with little to no
activation at the bottom (forearm and hand. The forearm-supporting handles allow
these users to maximize repetitions of movement within their active muscles
while relieving the weight of the entire arm.


Neofect Smart Board
[https://shop.neofect.com/collections/smart-rehab-solution/products/neofect-smart-board] 
acts as a digital goniometer and measures the patient's range of motion during
all activities allowing the clinician to gather objective results for total
available reach as well as for timing and coordination. Having these objective
measures allows for the clinician to obtain more quantified data to justify
improvements allowing for continued services. Quantified data can also be used
in order to motivate the patient to keep working towards their goal.

 2. Once the ball is blocked with the platform, it's sent towards the jewels,
    eliminating them when it hits them.
    
    
 3. Red beads appear when the sparkling jewels are eliminated. Extra balls are
    rewarded by hitting the beads with the platform.
    
    
 4. As you advance to higher levels, the platform moves farther and farther away
    from the center of the screen.

<2> Rockin’ Beats
Rockin’ Beats tests your memory skills by giving you a rhythm pattern you have
to repeat.



Training Methods

 1. Use forearm pronation and supination to move the drumsticks. If one side
    needs to be repeated, return to the starting position before hitting again.
    
    
    
 2. Remember the order of the instruments shown in the given time. Time varies
    based on the number of instruments shown.
    
    
    
 3. Play the instruments in the order demonstrated. If the order is wrong, it
    will be incorrect. Complete the given task even if you miss one during the
    performance. The same rhythm pattern will be re-shown for a second attempt.
    The number of rhythm patterns varies based on the tasks completed correctly
    or incorrectly. (The score is calculated based on the number of the
    instruments hit correctly)

Recently, numerous serious games for stroke rehabilitation have emerged,
highlighting the positive traits of games. One of these is ‘Math Farm’, a math
calculation mobile game for elementary school students. Some elementary school
students tend to give up on mathematics since elementary school, as they feel
boredom or difficulty in solving arithmetic. Still, it is needed for them to
learn the arithmetic operations naturally in the education field. In Math Farm,
the player will be able to cultivate and harvest crops and sell them in stores
through the virtual farm management system in the game, thereby naturally
acquainting arithmetic. Serious games for stroke rehabilitation allow oneself to
be educated unpretentiously while dimming his or her disinclination.
