You can hope your doctor knows about these 22 posts on Kinect and these 2 posts on Leap motion. and can compare them to this one. Every single stroke doctor in the world will have to do this on their own since we have fucking failures of stroke associations that can't set up databases of stroke protocols and summaries of stroke research.

Virtual rehabilitation therapy using the adapted Movement-Based
Interactive Video Games (MBIVG) and the Microsoft’s Kinect and the Leap
Motion sensors of motion is a promising new therapy for patients with
stroke. We report the evolution of an 81 years old male with ischemic
stroke and right hemiparesis who played MIRA interactive video games
using the Kinect One sensor and Leap Motion sensor standard games for 10
sessions, with a duration of 30 minutes/session during his 14 days of
hospitalization. The patient also benefited from conventional
rehabilitation therapy for stroke (kinetotherapy, massage and
conventional occupational therapy). At the final examination, the
patient showed improved motor skills, the final ARAT score improved from
46 to 57 points (24% amendment), the Fugl-Meyer test score improved
from 46 to 52 (13% amendment) and the Berg Balance Scale improved from
43 to 49 points (14% amendment). Virtual rehabilitation therapy was well
tolerated, showing no adverse effects after 10 sessions. Despite his
age, the patient enjoyed playing MIRA interactive video games and Leap
Motion standard games, which ensured a good compliance to the treatment.
Much more at link.
The high starting scores shows this is another example of cherry-picking a stroke survivor with lots of spontaneous recovery to impress people.
