Abstract :

Stroke frequently results in cognitive and motor function impairments, including challenges with sustained attention, reaction time, and hand-eye coordination, which significantly affect daily activities and rehabilitation outcomes. This preliminary study explores the potential of Aimlabs, a first-person shooter (FPS)-based training software, in improving these skills among stroke survivors. Twenty participants aged 45-65, diagnosed with ischemic stroke (confirmed via MRI, 3-12 months post-event), engaged in an 8-week intervention, practicing daily for 15-30 minutes on tasks such as Gridshot. Assessment tools were utilized to evaluate outcomes, with the Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test (IVA-CPT) measuring sustained attention through omission errors and reaction time via response speed, while the Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT) assessed hand-eye coordination through assembly scores. Post-intervention results demonstrated substantial enhancements, with IVA-CPT omission errors reducing by 25% (p<0.01), reaction times improving by 18% (p<0.05), and PPT scores rising by 15% (p<0.01). These findings highlight Aimlabs as a cost-effective and engaging tool for neurorehabilitation, combining gamification with traditional therapies. Nonetheless, further randomized controlled trials are necessary to confirm long-term efficacy and broader applicability.
