Danse-doigts, a Fine Motor Game
This addresses a therapeutic need for hemiplegic children, but appears incremental as it applies existing technologies to a specific domain.
The paper tackles the problem of training fine motor skills in hemiplegic children through a tablet-based edutainment application called Danse-doigts, and studies its effect on numerical performance, though no concrete results or numbers are provided.
This paper describes the design, implementation and testing of "Danse-doigts", an edutainment therapeutic application for hemiplegic children. The objective of this program is twofold. Firstly, to allow them to train their fine motor skills on tablet. Secondly, to study the effect of this training on their numerical performance (counting, calculation...). The target population and the objective of evaluating numerical skills influenced the design. The software was developed using standard web technologies but is based on a new parallel programming library written in JavaScript. Applications and libraries are free of charge and easy to install on most tablets.
