Brief Summary

Little is Known about the effects of leap motion based exergame therapy on different functions of elderly adults. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of leap motion based exergame therapy on hand function, cognitive function and quality of life in older adults

Conditions

Elderly

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Grip Strength Test

  A hand dynamometer (pinch meter gauge; Jamar® Hand Dynamometer - Hydraulic - 200 lb Capacity. Patterson Medical Illinois, USA) will be used to determine the grip strength of the participants. While taking the measurements, the patients will be seated with the shoulder adducted and neutrally rotated, elbow flexed at 90°, forearm and wrist in neutral position. Each grip test will be repeated three times and the highest score for the affected extremity will be used for further analysis.
