A virtual rehabilitation system for wobble board balance training with children

Virtual reality-based computer games may be a
useful way to develop motor skills and increase activity levels in
children. We have developed an interactive computer platform
where users must tilt a wobble board to complete on-screen
computer game tasks. We have conducted a pilot study with 81
school children who played the game and used a questionnaire
to gather information on children’s enjoyment levels and
perceptions of the system. Findings showed a high level of
enjoyment with the game and provided useful information for
future research and development.
