Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
X-Box Kinect training for 30 minutes, three times a week for 8 weeks. The participants will play X-Box Kinect based games under supervision of qualified physiotherapist. X-Box kinect comes with a body motion sensor and allows the subject to play games and do exercises in virtual environment. The subjects would be reminded to come for their session via text messages.
