“…For example, Wang et al (2011) conducted group painting therapy on 30 patients with depression for 3 months, and found that painting therapy could promote their social function recovery, improve their social adaptability and quality of life. Another randomized clinical trial also showed that it could decrease mean anxiety scores in the 3-12 year painting group (Forouzandeh et al, 2020).…”

Art therapy, as a non-pharmacological medical complementary and alternative therapy, has been used as one of medical interventions with good clinical effects on mental disorders. However, systematically reviewed in detail in clinical situations is lacking. Here, we searched on PubMed for art therapy in an attempt to explore its theoretical basis, clinical applications, and future perspectives to summary its global pictures. Since drawings and paintings have been historically recognized as a useful part of therapeutic processes in art therapy, we focused on studies of art therapy which mainly includes painting and drawing as media. As a result, a total of 413 literature were identified. After carefully reading full articles, we found that art therapy has been gradually and successfully used for patients with mental disorders with positive outcomes, mainly reducing suffering from mental symptoms. These disorders mainly include depression disorders and anxiety, cognitive impairment and dementias, Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, and autism. These findings suggest that art therapy can not only be served as an useful therapeutic method to assist patients to open up and share their feelings, views, and experiences, but also as an auxiliary treatment for diagnosing diseases to help medical specialists obtain complementary information different from conventional tests. We humbly believe that art therapy has great potential in clinical applications on mental disorders to be further explored.

Due to the unfamiliarity of the surroundings, children having surgery endure worry and tension. Untreated anxiety in children impairs postoperative healing and causes changes in postoperative behavior. The purpose of this review was to determine the efficacy of distraction therapies on anxiety in children undergoing surgery. The systematic review was reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses standards. PubMed via MEDLINE, CINAHL, ProQuest, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were used to find relevant trials. Full-text papers published in English from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2021 were included. Children undergoing surgery aged 1 to 18 years were included. A data extraction form was created to extract data from the selected studies. According to the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool, studies were classified as “low risk,” “high risk,” or “unclear risk.” Review Manager software was used to do a quantitative meta-analysis. Thirteen studies looked at the effect of distraction intervention on children. Nine of them were selected for meta-analysis. The distraction interventions included in this review were: handheld video game, play dough and play with blocks and puzzles, tablet-based interactive distraction, animated video, painting and storytelling, age-appropriate video, distraction with video glasses, watching a movie, and bringing favorite toy during hospital stay. Meta-analysis showed that distraction interventions are effective on preoperative anxiety in children (standardized mean difference = –17.07, 95% confidence interval: 27.11–7.02, p = 0.0009).

“…Games come in all forms and shapes, ranging from smartphones to dedicated gaming hardware and consoles. Edutainment, development games, and children's games are some of the integration processes that exist to date [1][2][3]. In general, games have proven to be the central point of engagement, socialization, and connectivity in students' lives [3,4].…”

In recent years, surface Electromyography (sEMG) signals have been effectively applied in various fields such as control interfaces, prosthetics, and rehabilitation. We propose a neck rotation estimation from EMG and apply the signal estimate as a game control interface that can be used by people with disabilities or patients with functional impairment of the upper limb. This paper utilizes an equation estimation and a machine learning model to translate the signals into corresponding neck rotations. For testing, we designed two custom-made game scenes, a dynamic 1D object interception and a 2D maze scenery, in Unity 3D to be controlled by sEMG signal in real-time. Twenty-two (22) test subjects (mean age 27.95, std 13.24) participated in the experiment to verify the usability of the interface. From object interception, subjects reported stable control inferred from intercepted objects more than 73% accurately. In a 2D maze, a comparison of male and female subjects reported a completion time of 98.84 s. ± 50.2 and 112.75 s. ± 44.2, respectively, without a significant difference in the mean of the one-way ANOVA (p = 0.519). The results confirmed the usefulness of neck sEMG of sternocleidomastoid (SCM) as a control interface with little or no calibration required. Control models using equations indicate intuitive direction and speed control, while machine learning schemes offer a more stable directional control. Control interfaces can be applied in several areas that involve neck activities, e.g., robot control and rehabilitation, as well as game interfaces, to enable entertainment for people with disabilities.
