Summary

Individuals with intellectual disabilities face challenges in areas of attention, motor skills, and awareness. Among the problems they experience are difficulties in focusing, transitioning from one activity to another, performing tasks in sequence in skills such as copying, reading, and writing. Additionally, they tend to form sentences with misarranged words. Generally, they may present with disorganized or weak handwriting. Other reported issues in this population include coordination problems in extremities and balance disturbances. These essential life skills can impede the individual's ability to move safely. With the recent integration of technology into rehabilitation, new intervention and assessment methods have emerged for occupational therapists. Systems like Microsoft Kinect, Nintendo Wii, Xbox, and Leap Motion are being used in these methods. In the literature, Kwok et al. included 73 participants aged between 60-85 in their study. They examined the connection between swinging speeds while standing on both feet on a balance board and the risk of falling. They concluded that the anterior-posterior swing speed measure derived from the Wii Balance Board (WBB) could complement current clinic-based measurements in predicting future falls among community-dwelling older adults. Reviewing the literature, technological rehabilitation applications are observed to be used in various patient groups. However, studies on occupational therapy-based technological rehabilitation interventions in individuals with intellectual disabilities are limited. To our knowledge, there isn't a study evaluating awareness, cognitive, and physical skills in intellectually disabled individuals using Leapmotion, Xbox, Balanceboard sensors, and mobile games. Based on this information, the aim of our study is to investigate the effects of occupational therapy-based rehabilitative games on motor skills, proprioception, and cognitive functions in individuals with intellectual disabilities.
