摘要
Adults with developmental disabilities (DD) might have visual-motor coordination problems, which may affect their independence. Exergames, videogames that involve physical exertion, can support visual-motor coordination of adults with DD, as they can offer an interactive technological experience to engage them in different motor tasks. In this paper, we explore the use of exergames at helping and motivating adults with DD to perform visual-motor coordination exercises. We conducted a user study evaluation with ten adults with DD. The participants played an exergame designed to support visual-motor coordination on three sessions over the course of one week. Our results show that all participants performed the visual-motor coordination exercises successfully using the exergame, decreasing the required verbal or physical assistance from the first to the third last session. We conclude that exergames designed to support visual-motor coordination have the potential to help and motivate adults with DD to perform visual-motor coordination exercises.
