Children with Cerebral Palsy increased their exercise by 31 min/day and completed more intense exercise. The increased exercise generalized beyond the game to daily life.

Gaming increases the intensity and amount of patient exercise which enhances recovery and positively impacts daily life.

Heart rate during exercise was greater during gaming than conventional exercise (134 vs 126). Gaming also resulted in small, but probably meaningful, improvements in patient independence/function (Rankin scale).

Gaming promotes more intense cardiovascular exercise, which is associated with a small improvement in overall health/wellness compared to more traditional means of exercise. Exercising with games is more efficient and effective than conventional exercise.

Active Video Games enable light (upper body) to moderate (lower body engagement) physical activity.

Gaming is an effective tool for motivating more intense physical activity, which will improve the overall health/wellness of patients.

75% of gaming group continued to do balance training at home vs 20% in the conventional group. Falls were reduced by 2/3rds in the gaming group and this group also showed an advantage in dual-task walking.

Patients will continue to do gaming exercise when discharged from rehab at much higher rates than traditional home exercises, which improves clinical outcomes.

Smart-phone motion capture is generally consistent with lab-based motion capture and sufficient to capture patient improvement. Surveying the main movement direction of the implemented exercises (squats, step-ups, side-steps), differences between 10.13 mm to 24.59 mm were measured.

RxGames utilizes mobile device cameras to accurately capture patient movements and produces comprehensive home exercise session reports to create visibility for therapists.

Home exercise instructions provided on electronic devices cost less than paper-based instructions when patients are using their own smart devices. Each initial exercise instruction provided using electronic devices saved 5.5 min (95% CI 0.5 to 10.5) with a cost saving of Australian dollar $4.70 (95% CI -8.89 to -0.52) compared with paper-based instructions.

Using devices that patients already own saves clinicians time in teaching/scheduling home practice programs.

"Exercises learned only from a brochure without being monitored by a physical therapist were done properly by only about half of the patients and appeared to result in fewer improvements in impairments." "There was a strong correlation between the quality of exercise performance and decrease in pain."

RxGames promotes correct exercise performance because only properly executed exercises drive game play. The games also record the quality of patient movements and share the data with therapist providing true ability to monitor patient home exercise programs.

Amongst people with rotator cuff issues, home exercise worked as well as supervised exercise at improving Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (Quick-DASH) scores. Home exercise was cheaper.

RxGames technology provides therapists with visibility to patient home exercise compliance and quality of movement metrics which are critical for effective remote therapy monitoring.

Amongst people post-ankle fracture, the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Scores improved more in the home exercise group and home exercise cost on 16% as much as PT-supervised exercise.

In a cost analysis of traditional rehab vs at-home rehab, the patient satisfaction was significantly higher and cost significantly lower in the at-home group. RxGames enables therapists to combine in-clinic rehabilitation with effective home exercise programs.

Reallocating in-clinic motor training to a game-based home exercise program achieved similar meaningful gains in motor capacity. Therapists were able to focus limited in-session time on best practice behavior change techniques, which improved carry-over of arm function to daily activities. Most patients were able to achieve the guidelines-recommended amount of physical activity through the home exercise program.

Incorporation of a game-based home exercise program improves carry-over of motor gains to daily activities and helps patients achieve recommended amounts of physical activity. Patients achieved successful outcomes with a limited number of physical therapy visits. RxGames technology was used as the basis for this study.

Amongst people with heart failure, providing a remotely monitored home exercise program involving 3 x 30 minutes/week of moderate cardiovascular intensity decreases readmissions from 14% to 5%. The 30-day readmission rate for patients reduced from 13.6% to 4.1% after home exercise programs, and the 6-month readmissions rate in the intervention group was 4.6%. There was a clinically meaningful improvement in 6-minute walk distance in the home exercise group but not the control group.

RxGames enables home exercise to be effectively monitored remotely. Remotely monitored exercise reduces readmission of heart failure patients and improves their physical capacity.

This model of delivering CI therapy using a custom, avatar-based virtual reality game was well received. Patients expressed a preference for game-based exercise.

This study was conducted using RxGames technology. The games make exercises fun for patients which leads to significantly higher compliance with home exercise programs.

Key findings from this study: 1) treatment compliance: video-games-78%, traditional therapy-66%; 2) patient satisfaction: video-game (93%), traditional therapy (71%)

RxGames provides clinics with the opportunity to prescribe video game based home exercised programs similar to those used in this study that resulted in higher compliance and greater patient satisfaction.
