Summary

This study tests a 3D-printed adapter that snaps onto an Xbox controller, allowing children aged 7 to 17 with a one-sided upper limb difference to use almost all buttons with one hand. Researchers want to see if it improves gaming performance and enjoyment. Twenty participants will try the adapter at home for a week and report their experiences.
