RCOT Webinar Series

Hand and distal upper limb training within a gamification framework to enhance client engagement and adherence for home-based rehabilitation.

The WHO has identified very low adherence to therapy, plus huge unmet rehabilitation need. Meanwhile, evidence increasingly suggests that gamification can drive adherence through enhanced flow experience and greater engagement. This webinar will discuss gamification within the context of rehab and demonstrate how it may improve client engagement and adherence to home programmes. Objective grip strength testing and grip strength as a biomarker will also be discussed.

The webinar will provide:

  • Occupational therapists with the foundations of how to provide and track digital home-based hand and distal upper limb training programmes, using the GripAble device/app.
  • Occupational therapists with key concepts around gamification within the context of rehabilitation, and how this might improve client engagement and adherence to home-based upper limb training.
  • Occupational therapists with the foundations of how to measure and track grip strength and movement within a digital platform.

Registration will open soon
