Summary
This study tests a robot-assisted, gamified rehabilitation program for children aged 7-16 with acquired brain injury. The program combines 15 supervised hospital sessions with 15 home-based sessions on a tablet, guided by an interactive avatar. Researchers will measure improvements in motor skills, thinking, and emotional well-being, as well as how easy and enjoyable the system is to use.
