About

The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of game-based exercises on upper extremity muscle strength, sensory perception, and functionality in adult individuals. The focus lies in measuring and assessing the effects of these exercises on this particular group. The goal is to determine the potential benefits of game-based exercises concerning upper extremity muscle strength, sensory perception, and overall functionality in adults.

Full description

This study focuses on exploring how game-based exercises affect upper extremity muscle strength, sensory perception, and functionality in adults. It addresses the potential impact of these exercises on physical activity levels, sensory development, and body awareness. The research highlights the significance of physical engagement, particularly in digitally inactive environments, emphasizing the need for supportive physical activity interventions. Additionally, it delves into the intricate hand movements and functions related to grasping activities, emphasizing the importance of sensory perceptions in these processes. Ultimately, the study aims to understand the correlation between game-based exercises and various facets of upper extremity functionality in adults.
