Exergames as a rehabilitation tool to enhance the upper limbs functionality and performance in chronic stroke survivors: a preliminary study.

However, only TUG and BERG show a statistically significant difference ( p < 0.05), while TIS and paretic shoulder mobility are near significance ( p < 0.06).

Our preliminary results seem to confirm a positive trend for all participants in upper limb motor performance, even in bilateral execution, suggesting that prolonged treatment could produce many benefits for upper limb control and coordination, with consequent positive effects on overall motor condition and quality of life: by stimulating the strength, neuromuscular aspects and both paretic and non-paretic arms, the exergames improve the patients' autonomy, allowing them to maintain the functionality of those movements that confer independence, such as the personal hygiene.
