Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganize by forming and strengthening neural connections. This ability is an important part of relearning motor skills following neurological injury.
Rehabilitation can take advantage of neuroplasticity through repetitive, targeted, and engaging movement practice. R3THA is designed with these principles in mind, using interactive exergames to provide opportunities to repeatedly practice hand and arm movements while receiving real-time feedback.
By combining therapeutic movements with engaging gameplay, R3THA helps make repetitive practice more motivating and provides users with opportunities to work toward their rehabilitation goals both in the clinic and at home.
