Study Details

Brief summary:

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new one-handed video game controller adapter to determine if it helps improve how video games are played and enjoyed in children with an upper limb difference on one side. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is performance improved while playing video games with the adapter?
  • Is user satisfaction or enjoyment improved while playing video games with the adapter?

Participants will:

  • Answer questions about their limb difference and other demographics
  • Be interviewed about their current and past video game playing experiences
  • Learn how to use the adapter and have their performance with it evaluated
  • Take the adapter home to use for 1 week, and be asked to record their experiences
  • Have their performance with the adapter re-evaluated after a week of practice
  • Be interviewed about their experience with the adapter

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: with adapter

All participants are in the experimental group baseline speed and accuracy using minecraft videogame will serve as baseline data and each subject will be their own control. participants will be given an adapter to support onehanded game play and an xbox system to use at home for a week. Follow-up data (speed and accuracy of minecraft) will be reevaluated one week later. Qualitative interview data will assist in understanding facilitators and barriers for use. On baseline and reassessment, the QUEST 2.0 and VAS will be administered as the primary outcome measures in addition to secondary outcome measures (speed and accuracy of minecraft).

Interventions

One Handed Video Game Controller Adapter

The one handed video game controller adapter was designed and 3D printed at Rehabilitation Centre for Children. It is a simple model that snaps onto an XBox One controller and uses a series of levers to allow access to almost all buttons of the controller from one side. There is both left and right sided versions

Primary outcome measure

  • Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with assistive Technology (QUEST 2.0) [ Time Frame: Change in the QUEST (2.0) will be evaluated at baseline, and repeated one week later ]
  • Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Satisfaction (w/faces scale) [ Time Frame: Change in satisfaction with play experience will be evaluated for both the with and without adapter conditions at baseline, and repeated one week later ]
