Brief Summary

Emerging technologies that utilize motion capture integrated with engaging software offer new methods for increasing engagement and movement in patients admitted to the hospital. Hospitalized patients are often limited to sedentary activities, spending the majority of their time in bed, which can contribute to deconditioning and functional mobility deficits. This study seeks to explore the feasibility of a tool designed to promote movement through engaging gameplay that is acceptable to both clinicians and families.

  Post-simulation (5 minutes)]

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) survey

  immediately after the intervention

• Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) survey

  immediately after the intervention

• Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) survey

  immediately after the intervention

• ISO 9241-400

  immediately after intervention

• Setup time required for system use

Study Arms (1)

Pediatric patient

EXPERIMENTAL

Pediatric patient will engage with engagement-focused software platform (Snipperfingers) and movement will be analysed by the real-time motion capture system (the OptiTrack system).

Behavioral: Snipperfingers

Interventions

Snipperfingers BEHAVIORAL

Snipperfinger is a self developed engagement focused software platform designed to encourage participation in pediatric physical therapy.
