Concept

Paralysis is one of the common physical disadvantage studied by stroke researchers today. While there are many machines and gadgets in place that help with the rehabilitation of the movements of post-stroke patients, the emphasis seems to always be placed in having the patients attend a physical therapy session or purchase an expensive device that contributes to their recovery.

Spotty is a tablet game application developed for the purpose of post-stroke hand rehabilitation. As users play the game, they are motivated to move their hand in different positions, movements and speeds through the completion of various difficulty levels. This game application has the potential to improve a patient’s accuracy, agility and strength of their hand.

Wire Loop

Prior to changing the name to Spotty this project was called "Wire Loop Game" internally and early design documents refer to it as such.
