Game Intervention: Table Tilt
This game allows participants to have a better understanding of their stability limits; particularly their mechanical stability boundary. With practice, the individual will be able to establish an appropriate area of support, allowing for a better perception of their stability borders and therefore, an improved static balance. This game also allows for an improved integration of the three sensory systems. The visual system allows the children to view their position on the screen as well as the ball. The vestibular system allows them to orient themselves with gravity when they tilt from side to side and the somatosensory system is integrated by gaining proprioceptive feedback from the avatar. This intervention also targets the executive system; where DCD children are expected to identify the ball, select an appropriate response and execute the correct motion to complete the task.
