ABSTRACT
Objective:
To verify if individuals' poststroke and healthy controls would improve their performance in reaction and movement times practicing a serious game task using the upper limb movements. Materials andMethods:
We evaluated 30 individuals poststroke and 30 healthy controls, matched for age and sex. We used the "Association Game for Rehabilitation" (AGaR) where participants played by matching a pair of images whose meanings were similar. Hand movements were captured by a Kinect system and poststroke participants used their nonparetic upper limb. Reaction time and movement times (time to select an image and movement time to the target) were measured. Data were analyzed using multiple analysis of variance.Results:
Performance improved for both groups across all variables with better performance in movement times than reaction time only for poststroke individuals.Conclusions:
Upper limb movements using nonimmersive serious games enhanced motor performance in reaction and movement times for healthy controls and individuals poststroke. ReBEC Trial Registration RBR-4m4pk; Registeted on 08/24/2018.Palavras-chave
