Development of “iWakka Game” for evaluation of hand dexterity in children with developmental coordination disorder

抄録

Our previous study developed a testing and training device, “iWakka,” for the adjustability for grasping force. Moreover, we developed “iWakka Game” for autistic patients. In this study, we investigated the applicability of the iWakka Game in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). We developed a small grasping body and improved its evaluation method. It was experimented on four children with DCD. Consequently, they completed the evaluation task, which enabled the extraction of hand dexterity characteristics.
