ABSTRACT
Leap motion controller (LMC) with virtual reality games are beginning to be accepted as therapeutic tools in the treatment of neurological patients. It has already been investigated as a technological resource to support motor rehabilitation interventions of upper limbs since it allows to capture finger movements, which are essential for the rehabilitation of manual dysfunctions found in several conditions. This chapter aims to present Leap Motion and the possibilities of using this device in developmental disorders, as well as some works that are in progress by authors. Despite some problems with calibration and tracking of the LMC sensor, the literature shows that this device is promising for the rehabilitation of the upper limbs of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy.
