Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary outcome is SVMC measured with a game-based mini-assessment repeatedly during baseline (5-8 times) and intervention phase (10 times). The mini-assessment encompasses an outcome parameter describing the accuracy of the movements and one describing the amount of involuntary movements occurring. These two parameters are combined to one primary outcome by means of z-scores relative to the baseline.
