Heals Over Time: The Role of Gaming in Rehabilitation
summary
Gaming shows measurable rehab benefits: a survey of 152 gamers with disabilities reports 100% saying games aid rehabilitation, and a 912-player MMO study finds 45.6% view online friends as comparable to real ones. Systematic reviews (38 papers) report 69% of psychological and 59% of physical-therapy outcomes improve with games. Specific tools include Rehabilitation Gaming System, which in an 8-patient acute stroke trial speeds arm recovery, and the CBT game Treasure Hunt, which improves therapist delivery and patient homework engagement. Accessibility and multiplayer design remain urgent.
