Aims:Very few details about point systems used in games for health are reported in scientific literature. Methodology:To shed some light on this topic a bibliometric study, analyzing the papers containing terms related to games for health and point systems was performed and a mini taxonomy was derived. The search string game* AND health AND (point* OR score) AND system* in a Scopus bibliographic database was used to produce the corpus. We limited the search to articles, reviews and conference papers written in English and to topics related to medical, health and social subjects. The corpus papers abstracts and titles were analysed by VOSviewer and a scientific landscape was generated. The landscape clusters were transformed into a mini -taxonomy. Results and conclusions:The search resulted in a corpus consisting of 354 papers. The derived taxonomy contains three objects; video games, serious games and educational games. The biblimetric mapping and taxonomy revealed some interesting conclusions: (1) the video games have mostly negative effects on health, (2) the serious games might have both a direct positive health effects on users and also indirect effects by improved competencies of health professionals, and (3) the research is concerned not only to computer based educational games, but also to traditional table games and sporting games. Based on the derived taxonomy we can conclude that point systems should reward physical activity and healthy living style and punish sedentary activities.

Background: Dexterity and activities of daily living limitations on the upper limb (UL) represent one of the most common problems in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the specially developed Serious Games that make use of the Leap Motion Controller (LMC) as main user interface for improving UL grip muscle strength, dexterity, fatigue, quality of life, satisfaction and compliance. Methods: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted. The sample was randomized into two groups: an experimental group who received treatment based on serious games designed by the research team using the developed LMC based Serious Games for the UL plus conventional rehabilitation, and a control group who received the same conventional rehabilitation for the UL. Both groups received two 60 min sessions per week over a ten-week period. Grip muscle strength, coordination, speed of movements, fine and gross UL dexterity, fatigue, quality of life, satisfaction and compliance were assessed in both groups pre-treatment, post-treatment and in a follow-up period of one month without receiving any treatment. Results : In the experimental group compared to the control group, significant improvements were observed in the post-treatment assessment for coordination, speed of movements, fine and gross UL dexterity. Also, significant results were found in the follow-up in coordination, speed of movements, fine and gross for the more affected side. Conclusions: An experimental protocol using an LMC based Serious Games designed for UL rehabilitation showed improvements for unilateral gross manual dexterity, fine manual dexterity, and coordination in MS patients with high satisfaction and excellent compliance.

“…studied the feasibility and efficacy of a serious games approach to supervised UL rehabilitation in18 MS patients, showing improvements in dexterity assessed with the BBT and NHPT with a positive impact on the mental domain of perceived health. Jonsdottir et al[26] also studied the feasibility of serious games platform using Kinect compared to exergames using the Nintendo Wii for UL in 16 people with MS.Their results showed clinically important improvements in fine and gross hand function assessed BBT and NHPT in response to the serious games intervention. Waliño-Paniagua et al[6] assessed occupational therapy plus VR via a webcam for UL rehabilitation in 16 MS patients and showed a tendency towards statistical significance related to motor dexterity measured by PPT, the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test and the Grooved Pegboard Test.To our knowledge, this is the first RTC to evaluate grip muscle strength, coordination, speed of movements, fine and gross dexterity, fatigue, and quality of life after using serious games designed for neurological diseases with the LMC system for UL rehabilitation MS patients.…”
