Experimental group
Control group
Patients randomized to the experimental group participate in exergames training with Kinect. The supervised OT chooses different games according to the patient's needs and abilities. During therapy patients are at sitting position. The game program will be adjusted when patients got improvement. After 30 minutes of exergames training, participants will receive a 30-minutes of traditional occupational therapy.
Patients in the control group will receive individually tailored traditional occupational therapy consisting of the similar movement and dose as the experimental group doing by using the traditional equipment, such as climbing bar.
