The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of game-based exercises on upper extremity muscle strength, sensory perception, and functionality in adult individuals. The focus lies in measuring and assessing the effects of these exercises on this particular group. The goal is to determine the potential benefits of game-based exercises concerning upper extremity muscle strength, sensory perception, and overall functionality in adults.
This study focuses on exploring how game-based exercises affect upper extremity muscle strength, sensory perception, and functionality in adults. It addresses the potential impact of these exercises on physical activity levels, sensory development, and body awareness. The research highlights the significance of physical engagement, particularly in digitally inactive environments, emphasizing the need for supportive physical activity interventions. Additionally, it delves into the intricate hand movements and functions related to grasping activities, emphasizing the importance of sensory perceptions in these processes. Ultimately, the study aims to understand the correlation between game-based exercises and various facets of upper extremity functionality in adults.

Hand Muscle Strength Assessment
Hand muscle strength will be evaluated with the Jamar Hand Dynamometer. The unit of measurement for evaluations is kilogram-force.
Time frame: Baseline measurement before the Gamed-Based Exercises begin (pre-intervention), post-intervention at week 6
Finger Muscle Strength Assessment
Pinch force will be measured with Jamar Hydraulic Pinchmeter. The unit of measurement for evaluations is kilogram-force.
Time frame: Baseline measurement before the Gamed-Based Exercises begin (pre-intervention), post-intervention at week 6
Sensory Assessment
Sensory Assessment will be evaluated by two-point discrimination test. The unit of measurement for evaluations is milimeter.
Time frame: Baseline measurement before the Gamed-Based Exercises begin (pre-intervention), post-intervention at week 6
Functional Assessment
Functional assessment will be evaluated with the Nine Hole Peg Test. The unit of measurement for evaluations is seconds.
Time frame: Baseline measurement before the Gamed-Based Exercises begin (pre-intervention), post-intervention at week 6
