THERAPY ACTIVITY
Floor Projection
Lower Body Exercise | Gait Training | Listening Skills | Brain Training | Cogniive Development
Assisive Audio Cues Supported (Blind / Parially-Sighted)
WHAT IS IT?
● A ceiling-mounted projector creates an interactive activity surface on the floor
● Camera detects the child's foot movements and body position in real-time
● Activities are projected on the floor — child must step, jump, dodge and coordinate feet to play
● Designed for lower limb rehabilitation, gait correction, bilateral leg coordination, and auditory response training
● Multiple activity themes prevent boredom while targeting the same therapeutic goals
● Offers assistive audio cues for blind and partially-sighted children — spoken step-by-step prompts supplement foot placement, with an OT/PT professional supervising throughout
WHY IS IT USEFUL?
● CP children with slow walking and irregular stride length require repetitive lower-limb exercises — traditional methods are non-engaging and children refuse
● Interactive floor activities make repetitive lower-body movement voluntary and enjoyable
● Auditory cues in floor projection activities train listening skills simultaneously — critical for autism children with auditory processing challenges
● Floor projection therapy directly fulfils Samagra Shiksha's Physiotherapy and Behaviour Modification mandates within In-SRR
THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS — EVIDENCE BASED
● Interactive floor projection activities have been studied for their potential to ease pain and mobilisation fear in paediatric hospital settings [27]
● Scientific Reports (Nature, 2023): projected everyday-life obstacle training is an effective, ICF-aligned method for studying walking activities in children [29]
● ACM Interactive Surfaces & Spaces 2024: a customisable interactive floor carpet trains bilateral leg coordination, single-leg stepping, and step-length correction with intelligent gait analysis for CP children [28]
● A 2021 study found interactive floor-projection activities improved child health outcomes even in the most challenging clinical environments, such as paediatric oncology wards [27]
● Interactive, activity-based therapy is associated with neuroplastic changes supporting motor development in children with cerebral palsy [31]
● A pilot randomised controlled trial found VR-based interactive floor training improved postural balance in autistic children [30]
