“…Further, it was found that occupational therapy (including educational games with various geometric shapes) is one of the ways to restore and develop motor functions for people of different ages and health conditions [ 18 , 21 , 22 ]. Moreover, the connection of human motor functions, including fine motor skills, with cognitive functions, perceptual functions, and spatial thinking was also confirmed [ 17 , 20 ]. This is especially important for people with various neurological disorders and problems in early development.…”

“…Previous research and medical experience show that after a stroke, an attack of Parkinson’s disease, as well as during the early development of children, including children with Down’s syndrome and cerebral palsy, the development and restoration of the body’s motor functions play a special role [ 18 ]. Motor functions are closely related to brain functions and one of the most effective medical approaches for the development and restoration of brain function is the performance of tasks related to fine motor skills in children and adults [ 19 , 20 ]. Fine motor skills tasks include drawing, writing, playing with small objects, and solving three-dimensional puzzles with different geometric shapes, such as sphere, cylinder, tetrahedron, and cube, in various weights, depending on the patient age and health issues.…”

Effect on Perceived Weight of Object Shapes

The perceived weight of an object is an important research topic in terms of sensation and perception, and it is known that it has size-weight, color-weight, and material-weight illusions due to the influence of size, color, and material, as well as the weight of the object. Although the physical size of an object is measured by volume, the size of an object that we subjectively feel depends on the shape of the object, even if it has the same volume. Therefore, the shape of the object may determine the perceived size of the object, thereby changing its perceived weight accordingly. These cognitive factors play an important role in the period of rehabilitation therapy after an exacerbation or attack of neurological diseases, such as stroke or Parkinson’s disease, regarding the motor functions of the patient. Moreover, the study of these sensation and perception factors is important for the period of the early development of children, for example, for tracking and correcting fine motor skills. Existing related studies analyzed the perceived weight according to three shapes (tetrahedron, cube, and sphere), but only some shapes showed a difference in the perceived weight. This study attempted to demonstrate the difference in perceived weight according to the shape that has yet to be clearly identified. To this end, this study investigated objects with the same physical size (volume) as in previous studies, but in the shapes of tetrahedron, cube, and sphere. In addition, the volumes of these objects were set to 64,000 cm3, 125,000 cm3, and 216,000 cm3, and their weights were set to be 100 g, 150 g, and 200 g, in proportion to the size of the small, medium, and large volumes, respectively. Thirty-eight college students (21 males, 17 females) participated and the perceived weight of a given object compared to a reference object was evaluated according to the modulus method used for sensory size measurement. The analysis of the experimental data found that both weight (volume) and shape had significant effects on the perceived weight. The results support that the shape of objects also led to the size-weight illusion phenomenon. At the same weight (volume), the perceived weight of an object according to shape decreased significantly in the order of sphere, cube, and tetrahedron. At the same volume level, subjective size according to shape is small in the order of tetrahedron, cube, and sphere. The results of weight perception according to shape in this study showed that the subjective size of an object according to shape had an effect on perceived weight.

“…This traditional therapy is not the only strategy since there was a study performed by Chinese researchers to implement acupuncture for therapy in children for fine motor functions. The study revealed that using stimuli-based acupuncture combined with another technique can improve the motor skills of children [8]. These are not the only alternatives available because traditional therapy can be combined into everyday life (school or home environment) showing benefits on an emotional and attitudinal level [9].…”

In this project, an augmented reality (AR) system was designed and developed to contribute to therapy in children from ages 3 to 8 who suffer from fine motor skills disorder or seek to improve their skills during their neurodevelopment. The system was designed in the Unity engine along with a Leap Motion sensor so that the kids' hands can interact with scenarios created in the platform. The construction of the system followed the respective phases that describe the cascade methodology for the development of software systems, including the study of requirements and use cases. Additionally, it is intended that the progress of the child is tracked when he/she is performing a set of activities to develop fine motor skills. The Feine Motonik "FeMo" built module, has an 88.9% usability according to the study carried out in this article, which contemplates the test phase with the objective users who describe the situation of disorders in fine motor skills.
