Abstract :
KineLabs developed a series of fun-filled games with a local favour, such as making egg tart, cleaning the window panes of a tram, and even killing cockroaches, using a Kinect 3D motion sensor. With the games, stroke patients can receive rehabilitation training on upper limb, trunk balance, and lower limb at home, elderly centres or hospitals in order to improve their quality of life.
