Rehabilitation Games System for Stroke Victims (Air Mouse)



I read this story  in the ‘Dom’ under Business Day the other day; the picture stood out then the title … hope… stroke victims; my thanks to Colin & Fiona. They had my attention; go to I’m Able Limited for more...

Figure 1: Arm Mobilising-Stroke victim Colin Weston tries out an "I'm Able" product helped by his wife Fiona. Note: From System brings hope for stroke victims. (2014). Dominion Post [10 March 2014]. Retrieved from http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/hutt-valley/9808301/System-brings-hope-for-stroke-victims 



I have no idea how long the story will be at the address where it is currently found soooo…




The aim of the product (air mouse) Colin is using is to assist his stroke rehabilitation programme in terms of physical movement and brain stimulation. The media consists of computers and simple software games aimed at appropriate physical interaction. The product is the result of a Lower Hutt company’s games system which has the potential to become a part of a worldwide initiative.
