Treatment and study plan

Visual-perceptual interactive game system

Device

Subjects received 30-min interactive digital game training session per week. The game system contain 7 skills training, each of which was named according to the corresponding TVPS-3.

standard rehabilitation

Behavioral

Subjects received the standard 4-week course of rehabilitation delivered in one 30-min session per week. The course of rehabilitation included: sensory integration therapy, cognitive function training and visual perception/auditory attention training.

Primary outcomes

  1. Test of Visual Perceptual Scale-3(TVPS-3)

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    TVPS-3 is a standardized and norm-referenced task for children age 4-13 years that uses a response format suitable for all children, including those with disabilities. It includes subtasks of visual discrimination, visual memory, visual-spatial relationships, form constancy, visual sequential memory, figure ground, and visual closure (Martin et al., 2006). Each of the seven subtests has 16 items of varying difficulty. Therefore, the test has 112 total questions.

  2. User satisfaction survey

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    The 20-item questionnaire content was divided into five themes: perceived ease of use (6 questions), perceived usefulness (4 questions), perceived joyfulness (4 questions), satisfaction (3 questions), and continued use (3 questions). Questionnaire items were answered on a Likert scale from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree).

  3. Test of the visual-perceptual interactive game system

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    The digital game test had 7 subtests, and each subtest had 10 questions. Based on the seven-item rules of TVPS-3, 1 point was assigned to each question, for a score of 10 points for each subtest, and a total score of 70.
