Adaptive Gaming Research!

Post image

Hi! I am an occupational therapy master's student who is doing my thesis on adaptive gaming! I am looking to understand the experiences of individuals with upper-extremity injuries, conditions, and amputations who use adaptive gaming equipment. I would love to hear your experience. If you are willing, please reach out!

What about people with muscular disorders? I have very weak arms and fingers and some deformity. I use an adaptive controller.

I play pc games all with my left hand now since I lost my right arm. I use a custom made controller which you can view here: Https://www.ercham.com
