简要总结
Purpose: to observe the possible benefits produced by conventional therapy through virtual reality with the Nintendo Switch to try to improve motivation and increase the degree of care satisfaction. The aim is to improve postural control in both seated and standing positions and to maintain and improve cognitive capacity.
Material and methods: one group (experimental group) will receive a total of 8 one-hour sessions or 16 half-hour sessions, depending on their individual needs, for 8 weeks using the Nintendo Switch. The other group (control group) will continue to receive their conventional scheduled therapy.
Measures: Abilhand, MEC-Lobo, FIST, Fugl-Meyer, Berg Balance Scale and CSQ-8.

结局指标
主要结局
Fugl-Meyer
时间窗: Pre-intervention and post-intervention (up to 1-2 weeks)
This scale assesses the patient's motor function, sensory function, muscle balance, range of joint mobility and joint pain.
Abilhand
时间窗: Pre-intervention and post-intervention (up to 1-2 weeks)
It is an assessment test that measures the degree of difficulty perceived by the patient in performing the 23 activities of daily living.
Function in Sitting Test (FIST)
时间窗: Pre-intervention and post-intervention (up to 1-2 weeks)
It is a scale that assesses the postural control deficits presented by the patient in sedentary position in the event of imbalance, reaching on the floor, etc.
MEC-Lobo
时间窗: Pre-intervention and post-intervention (up to 1-2 weeks)
This is a scale that allows us to evaluate the cognitive status of patients. The lower the score, the greater the cognitive impairment.
Berg Balance Scale (BBS)
时间窗: Pre-intervention and post-intervention (up to 1-2 weeks)
The scale is used to measure balance mainly in standing position in patients with different types of pathologies.
次要结局
- Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8)(Post-intervention (up to 1-2 weeks))
