Keeping up with video game technology: Objective analysis of Xbox Kinect™ and PlayStation 3 Move™ for use in burn rehabilitation

“…The Kinect also utilizes a 3-dimensional camera complete with microchip for tracking best situated eight feet away from the player. The device allows for movement to be recorded in an angular field horizontally and vertically on top of a pivot tilt (Parry et al, 2014). Due to the number of body joints recognized and differences in player's sizes, foot movements are often overestimated while hand markers are often underestimated up to 30%.…”

“…Movement is collected through the use of a 3-axis gyroscope and accelerometer and terrestrial magnetic field sensor best set five to seven feet away from the player (Parry et al, 2014). Like the Nintendo Wii-U, the PS3 Move utilizes accelerometers and requires only one hand for play.…”

The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to discover the differences in degree of energy expenditure (EE) during Just Dance 2015 using Xbox 360 Kinect, Wii-U, PS3 Move, and Control YouTube video; and 2) to uncover whether or not exergaming could elicit moderate to vigorous levels of intensity (≥ 40% Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)) based on heart rate average (HR avg ) measurements. Twentyfive healthy college-aged students participated in this study. Data collection was comprised of baseline testing, a 30 second familiarization period with each gaming console, and a gaming session. Participants danced to the song "Love Me Again" on a Just Dance 2015 program on Xbox 360 Kinect, Wii-U, PS3 Move, and a control YouTube. EE and HRR were calculated using FT4 Polar Heart Rate Monitor. One-way repeated measures ANOVA indicated no significant differences in energy expenditure across the consoles, F(2.74, 65.86)=0.65, p=.570. The paired samples t-test indicated the HR avg for the Xbox 360 Kinect (117±18 bpm) was significantly greater than the HR avg for the Control (112±16 bpm), t(24) =3.03, p=.006. About a third (28%-36%) of participants met moderate levels of intensity while exergaming. Dancing on all three major gaming consoles and YouTube video increase energy expenditures and can be used as an alternative form of exercise with the ability to achieve moderate levels of intensity.

“…Kinect is a motion sensing input device for the Xbox 360 video game console (Parry et al 2014), which can capture users' actions through 3D technology and interpret those movements as well as support the voice-recognition technology, understanding users' words (Zhang, 2012).…”

Kinect has already been widely used in the area of retardation, and this study is to evaluate whether the Game System for Rehabilitation based on Kinect is effective for children with mental retardation. The subjects in this paper are 112 children with mental retardation in Zhejiang province of China. The Game System for Rehabilitation based on Kinect was applied to assist the rehabilitation of children. Before the training, the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) was used to evaluate abilities of children, including self-care, mobility, and social function. And after having been trained for a month, the abilities of these children were evaluated again by PEDI. The results in this paper is that, after the application of Game System for Rehabilitation based on Kinect, the PEDI score of children is significantly higher than the score before training. And it can be concluded that the Game System for Rehabilitation based on Kinect can significantly improve self-care, mobility, and social function of children with MR.
