Welcome.

The School of Health Sciences Motion Analysis Lab is located in the HSC building, Room 014. The lab allows us to investigate human movement with the goal of optimizing motor control and motor learning for recovery and for wellness.

Gaming for Upper Extremity Rehab Post Stroke

Top Right: Balance and bilateral upper extremity use and trunk stability with Bubble Pop (Sony Playstation, Eye Toy)

Bottom Left: Assisted upper extremity movement and target reaching with Bubble Pop (Sony Playstation, Eye Toy)





Stroke is a leading cause of disability in healthy adults. This project uses clinician modified off- the-shelf video gaming to provide targeted upper extremity repetitive practice following the ENGAGE protocol, “Enhanced Neurorehabilitation: Guided Activity-based Gaming Exercise”. ENGAGE uses a game selection algorithm providing focused, graded activity-based repetitive practice that is highly individualized and directed. See “Framework for Clinical Decision Making” for more details  on this ENGAGE protocol.
