“…However, in the study by Wuang et al 23 after a therapy with games the authors realized that individuals had a greater pre-post change on motor profi ciency, visual-integrative abilities, and sensory integrative functioning. Considering the maze task, the results show that only participants in the DS group had a signifi cant performance verifi ed by differences between the beginning and end of the acquisition phase, with reduced time to perform the task.…”

Introduction: These changes are the main causes of defi cits in perceptual-motor skills responsible for motor skill acquisition and performance of functional activities. AIMS: The current study aimed at verifying the quantitative performance of people with DS in undertaking a computer task to compare the performances of typical development (TD).Methods: 60 subjects participated in the study, 30 with Down's syndrome and 30 with typical development, matched by sex. Individuals were aged from 10-36. The groups were divided into three subgroups by age: Group 1 (G1) 10-18; Group 2 (G2) 18-25; Group 3 (G3) 25-36. They performed a computer maze task. During the acquisition phase all groups attempted the maze 30 times, and then after 5 minutes they performed 5 repetitions of Maze 1 for the retention phase. Finally, for the transfer phase, they performed fi ve repetitions in Maze 2. The dependent variables were submitted to a group, age group, gender and block ANOVA with repeated measures on the last factor. Results:In acquisition phase there was a signifi cant decrease in movement time (MT) between the fi rst and last acquisition block, but only for the DS-group. In retention, there was a signifi cant effect of Group, and an interaction between Block and Group, indicating that MTs increased from retention to transfer, but only for the DS-group. Conclusion: It was found that participants with DS improved performance during acquisition and retention, but they had diffi culty in performing the transfer of the computational task for a similar situation. The age and gender were not signifi cant in any of the stages of the study.

Virtual reality is three dimensional, interactive and fun way in rehabilitation. Its irst known use in rehabilitation published by Max North named as "Virtual Environments and Psychological Disorders" (1994). Virtual reality uses special programmed computers, visual devices and artiicial environments for the clients' rehabilitation. Throughout technological improvements, virtual reality devices changed from therapeutic gloves to augmented reality environments. Virtual reality was being used in diferent rehabilitation professions such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, psychology and so on. In spite of common virtual reality approach of diferent professions, each profession aims diferent outcomes in rehabilitation. Virtual reality in occupational therapy generally focuses on hand and upper extremity functioning, cognitive rehabilitation, mental disorders, etc. Positive efects of virtual reality were mentioned in diferent studies, which are higher motivation than non-simulated environments, active participation of the participants, supporting motor learning, fun environment and risk-free environment. Additionally, virtual reality was told to be used as assessment. This chapter will focus on usage of virtual reality in occupational therapy, history and recent developments, types of virtual reality technologic equipment, pros and cons, usage for pediatric, adult and geriatric people and recent research and articles.

The virtual reality has been frequently required in rehabilitation settings. However, it still lacks specificity, making it necessary to establish specific criteria to classify the most relevant aspects of electronic games to allow interventions based on virtual reality. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a "Perceptual and motor demands assessment protocol for virtual reality systems" and to investigate its content validity and intra and inter observer agreement. The protocol was created through a literature review including classical studies as well as a review of recent articles about motor behavior, physical training, cognitive neuroscience and virtual reality. The previous versions were presented in study group meetings and congresses, and modified accordingly to suggestions of experts. Three examiners used the final version to analyze twice the total of 20 videos of individuals in a virtual environment and answered a questionnaire about its content validity. Most of the obtained values were classified as "good" (concordance from 80% to 89%) or "excellent" (concordance from 90% to 100%) by the three examiners and the protocol's content validity was adequate. The protocol is valid, applicable and practical for analyzing different requirements of electronic games in a virtual environment.
