Abstract

IntroductionExercise rehabilitation is crucial for neurological recovery in hemiplegia-induced upper limb dysfunction. Technology-assisted cortical activation in sensorimotor areas has shown potential for restoring motor function. This study assessed the feasibility of mobile serious games for stroke patients' motor rehabilitation.MethodsA dedicated mobile application targeted shoulder, elbow, and wrist training. Twelve stroke survivors attempted a motor task under two conditions: serious mobile game-assisted and conventional rehabilitation. Electroencephalography and electromyography measured the therapy effects.ResultsPatients undergoing game-assisted rehabilitation showed stronger event-related desynchronization (ERD) in the contralateral hemisphere's motor perception areas compared to conventional rehabilitation (p < 0.05). RMS was notably higher in game-assisted rehabilitation, particularly in shoulder training (p < 0.05).DiscussionSerious mobile game rehabilitation activated the motor cortex without directly improving muscle activity. This suggests its potential in neurological recovery for stroke patients.
