The effects of interactive music and bubble feedback using Arduino on enhancing physical activities for children with cerebral palsy

Abstract

This study uses an interactive music and bubble effect in Arduino to enhance the body strength of children with cerebral palsy. Arduino, using a servo motor and mp3 module function, creates real feedback. This study uses a force-sensitive resistor and laser tripwire circuit sensor transmit as the interactive interface, to enhance the performance and real activity of children with cerebral palsy to perform on physical activities. This study uses a single-case research using an ABAB structure, in which A is the baseline and B is the intervention. The experimental period was 3 months, from March to June 2016. The experimental results demonstrated that the scores for two children with cerebral palsy increased considerably during the intervention phrases. The relative developmental applications of these results are also discussed here.
