Clinical Trial Summary

Leap Motion Based Gamefication Exercises in the Individuals With Systemic Sclerosis

Description:

The aim of this project is to develop Leap Motion Sensor-assisted rehabilitation games that can be easily applied in hand rehabilitation in individuals with SSc, motivating, directing to the right exercise, providing therapeutic evaluation and feedback during the game, and comparing the effectiveness of these rehabilitation games with traditional rehabilitation applications.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	modified Hand Mobility in Scleroderma (mHAMIS)	Hand Mobility in Scleroderma is a hand function test developed for adults who have systemic sclerosis. HAMIS consists of 9 items designed to measure all movements assessed in an ordinary range of motion-measured hand test. Each item is graded on a 0-3 scale, where 0 corresponds to normal function and 3 denotes that the individual is unable to perform the item. Each hand is assessed separately. The total score of HAMIS for each hand is 370 Sandqvist and Eklund Vol. 13, No. 6, December 2000 27, which represents a high degree of dysfunction.	change from baseline at 5 weeks
Secondary	Finger Joint Range of Motion	The patients will be asked to close their fingers tightly and the distance between the pulp of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th finger - distal palmar line (PP-DPD) will be measured in cm with the help of a ruler. Dominant and nondominant hand total scores will be calculated by summing the values found for the fingers of each hand separately.	change from baseline at 5 weeks
Secondary	Grip Strength	A hand dynamometer will be used. For measurements, patients will be asked to make a maximally voluntary grip while sitting, elbow flexed to 90 degrees, wrist in semi-pronation with thumb pointing up. Measurements on the sick and healthy hand will be made 3 times in a row, and the average values will be recorded in kilograms (kg). Finger grip will be evaluated with a pinchmeter in three different positions (lateral, palmar, fingertip).	change from baseline at 5 weeks
Secondary	Skin Hardness	Skin hardness will be measured with a durometer. Although the durometer is a device designed to measure non-biomaterial surface hardness, it is used clinically to evaluate sclerosis. Measurements will be made on the dorsal surface of the third finger, midphalanx, dorsum of the hand, palmar and dorsal aspects of the forearm.	change from baseline at 5 weeks
Secondary	Purdue Pegboard Test	Purdue Pegboard Test will be used to evaluate hand functions. This test is an objective and standardized test that is frequently used in practice to evaluate functional hand use. The test will be preferred because of its advantages in demonstrating the functional activities and ability of the hand and its ease of use. The patient will be asked to perform the test activities first with the dominant hand, then with the non-dominant hand in 30 seconds, and using both hands in 60 seconds. Scoring will be based on the number of successfully placed pins.	change from baseline at 5 weeks
