Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Medical diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with cognitive conditions of task comprehension (assessed by means of two attempts of each task); for inclusion in the control group, people can not have neurological impairments; authorization of the participant or their caregivers, with due signing of the informed consent form
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Individuals who can not understand the guidelines in relation to the proposed task; present some limitation of movement of the upper limbs; and / or limitation in visual acuity that prevents playing the game; and / or are unable or unwilling to complete the proposed task will be excluded from the search
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Virtual interaction devices controlled and adapted to the needs of the person with ALS will provide greater functionality, which will be evaluated through the statistical difference between the dependent variables: numbers of hits and losses (absolute values) and error time (in milliseconds), recorded by software | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Participants with ALS will have lower heart rate variability during the virtual task, evaluated through the statistical difference between the variable indices of heart rate variability, calculated using the Kubios HRV software. | — |
