Description and potential progression of supervised game play during clinical VR intervention
| Mini-(Game) | Game Objective | Areas Challenged | Level Progression | Environmental Progression |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arctic Punch (SU) | Requires participant to punch across the body to hit targets | Cardiovascular endurance, postural control within stationary BOS, UE/LE movement speed/accuracy | Increase movement speed | Stand feet together, one foot, or on compliant surface |
| Knee Up Splash (SU) | Requires participant to break blue, green, and red watermelons with high knee motion in a predetermined order | Cardiovascular endurance, dynamic postural control, UE/LE movement speed/accuracy, memory | Increase length of colors to memorize based on performance, Increase movement speed | Perform on compliant surface |
| Squat Me to the Moon (SU) | Requires participant to perform bodyweight squats emphasizing depth | LE anaerobic endurance, postural control within stationary BOS, LE movement speed/accuracy | Increase movement speed | Perform on compliant surface |
| Stunt Run (SU) | Requires participant to run in place and jump, duck, or dodge left or right to avoid random obstacles | Cardiovascular endurance, dynamic postural control, LE movement speed/accuracy, reaction time | Obstacles occur more frequently based on performance | N/A |
| To the Core (SU) | Requires participant to rotate trunk left and right with shoulders and elbows flex to 90° | Abdominal anaerobic endurance, postural control within stationary BOS, abdominal movement speed/accuracy | Increase movement speed | Stand feet together, one foot, or on compliant surface |
| Tennis (KS) | Requires participant to perform overhead serve, forehand, and backhand rebound against computer opponent | Dynamic postural control, visual tracking, UE/LE movement speed/accuracy, reaction time | Requires maintained accuracy at increased speed based on performance | N/A |
| Rock climbing (KS) | Requires participant to reach and grab overhead and to sides in race against computer opponent | Postural control within stationary BOS, UE movement speed/accuracy | Requires maintained accuracy at increased speed based on performance | Perform on compliant surface |
