Abstract

This paper presents the design of the latest game aimed at gross motor movement training of the upper extremity for NJIT RAVR system [1], which already employs various games to help stroke patients in rehabilitation. The unique feature of this game is to aid motor function of patients that come to use in day to day life like making use of hands, fingers and shoulders to pick small objects on table, moving them and placing them elsewhere. This game employs physics for the objects within the VR world and CyberGrasp hand exoskeleton which gives the subject a more realistic feeling to the grasping and releasing in real-time.
