Deliver regular upper limb therapy to patients with hemiplegia in their own home through the use of specifically designed action video games.

Action video games provide the key elements for effective upper limb motor learning, namely interactivity, repetition, bimanual and multi-sensory integration, immediate feedback and a high degree of motivation. Compliance with therapy is promoted since video games are part of normal leisure activities for children and young people and for increasing numbers of older adults [1-6] and they can be played together with family and friends.

The first set of games have a circus theme and because they have been designed with a professional gaming studio the games have a high level of playability and very high quality and engaging graphics.
