Interventions

DEVICEVirtual reality exergames

Twelve sessions of virtual reality exergames involving upper extremities will be conducted. Each session is 30 minutes and will be held 3 times a week. The washout period between the two types of interventions is 2 weeks.

BEHAVIORALConventional occupational therapy

Conventional occupational therapy involving upper extremities will be conducted. Each session is 30 minutes and will be held 3 times a week. The washout period between the two types of interventions is 2 weeks.
