Improving Patient Motivation and Participation in Rehabilitation Program Through Social Games: A 3-arm Randomized Controlled Trial

This 12-week randomized controlled trial involves two intervention groups (i.e., single-player game group, competition game group) and one control group (i.e., conventional checkerboard group). The main objective of this study is to examine the effects of game-based training on patient motivation, exercise duration, and functional outcomes in comparison with the control group.

Detailed Description

A 12-week three-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the effects between the single-player game, competitive game and a control group (i.e. conventional training) on the motivation, exercise duration and functional improvement in a rehabilitation program. A mix of quantitative method (i.e., questionnaire) and qualitative methods (i.e., interview and observation) were used. The outcome measurements were: (1) motivation: Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI), (2) participation: exercise duration, (3) functional improvement: nine-hole peg test (NHPT) and box and block test (BBT), and (4) user feedback.
