The Microsoft Clinic team designed and developed a computer game for the Microsoft Surface, a large multi-touch display, to aid in stroke rehabilitation. The patient controls sea creatures in a virtual aquarium through gestures that are part of their physical therapy. The game is designed to motivate patients to perform their exercises and to provide an assessment of their progress.
