“…Other researchers [28] present a tool developed from the BBT for its virtual version, using the LMC and Unity 3d. The authors included some feedback in this version (VBBT) to increase the patients' motivation, with the intention that they become aware of their competence while performing exercises for rehabilitation.…”

“…When used with the BBT, the LMC proved to be more acceptable in its immersive version [3], mainly because users are able to transfer more blocks when inserted in the 3d view, which consequently generates less fatigue in the manual function and an increase in the motivation. Another advantage of using this technology is that together with the virtual BBT, health professionals have the possibility to meet the needs of each patient individually, through time, the number of blocks, feedbacks, among others [28].…”

This chapter aims to analyze works in the literature that show the therapeutic effects of using the Leap Motion Controller (LMC) sensor to assess hand fine motor dexterity, especially those involving the Box and Blocks Test. Besides the introduction, we will describe: (a) the LMC device and its forms of interaction in a Virtual Reality environment (immersive and non-immersive); (b) aspects of manual function assessment; (c) the functioning of the traditional Box and Blocks Test (BBT) and its virtual version (VBBT) developed with Virtual Reality technologies; (d) discussion about the VBBT integrated with the LMC, in physical therapy practice.

“…This includes updating the new data of the level to be played or the graphical interface. The main object within the scene is the wood box, designed by using Blender, following the real test characteristics to maintain the semantic of the real scale [4], providing a more adaptative version that those presented in a previous study [9].…”

Background: The Box and Block clinical test is a validated and standardized scale for use in the clinical environment that allows the assessment of rough manipulative dexterity. Proposing virtual methods to carry out these assessments is an attempt to eliminate some of the subjectivity that the test may entail depending on the observer and the way in which the patient gives instructions. Applied to the assessment of skills after neurological pathologies, previous experiences in stroke patients have been found. So, this work was centered on the Spinal Cord Injury. Objective: To present the virtual application of the Box and Block scale, as well as details about its design and development for its manipulation based on Leap Motion Controller. Methodology: The relationship between the results obtained in the actual test and in the virtual application in healthy subjects and, mostly, patients with cervical spinal cord injury is analyzed, obtaining a high correlation index between both tests' performance. Results: A high correlation index was obtained between both tests performance, the real and virtual version of the Box and Block Test. Conclusion: This virtual test can serve as an element to evaluate in the future the effectiveness of the RehabHand prototype based on virtual reality applications with a therapeutic and a rehabilitative sense that, manipulated from Leap Motion Controller, allow the improvement of the manipulative dexterity in patients with neurological diseases such as spinal cord injury.
