Occupational therapy exercises for fine motor skills
Rehametrics offers more than 30 occupational therapy exercises designed specifically to rehabilitate patients' fine motor skills.
- Hanging out laundry, cooking from recipes, playing the piano, or manipulating virtual objects
- Difficulty adapts automatically to the patient's performance
- Different grip types, bimanual coordination and motor control
How Rehametrics supports fine motor rehabilitation
Fine motor rehabilitation is one of the most critical components of any occupational therapy treatment plan. Activities include exercises such as hanging out laundry, following cooking recipes, playing the piano, manipulating virtual objects, resizing objects, and working on working memory through functional, interactive tasks.
Activities adapt automatically to the patient's performance: if the patient improves, difficulty increases; if they struggle, the system reduces the demand to maintain an appropriate therapeutic level.
- The clinician can personalise duration, difficulty, movement type and clinical objectives.
- Supports a range of grip types, bimanual coordination and motor control training.
- Indicated for neurological, orthopaedic and chronic pain patients.

Frequently asked questions
Fine motor skills are the ability to perform precise, coordinated movements with the hands and fingers. These skills are essential for everyday activities such as writing, buttoning a shirt, using cutlery, cooking or handling small objects. When a patient experiences a neurological or orthopaedic injury, or a prolonged period of immobilisation, these abilities can be significantly affected, limiting their independence and quality of life. Occupational therapy uses targeted exercises to restore strength, coordination and upper limb function. Virtual reality can now complement these treatments by increasing motivation, the number of repetitions, and the patient's active participation.
Loss of fine motor skills can occur across a wide range of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Stroke
- Parkinson's disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Cerebral palsy
- Spinal cord injuries
- Peripheral neuropathies
- Hand tendon injuries
- Wrist and hand fractures
- Complex regional pain syndrome
- Chronic pain and kinesiophobia
- Upper limb trauma
In many cases, the issue is not purely muscular. Patients may also present with impaired motor control, loss of cortical representation, fear of movement (kinesiophobia), or difficulty integrating the affected limb into functional activities.
No. It is a complementary tool that helps increase therapeutic intensity, motivation and patient engagement.
The key difference is the level of patient involvement. Gamification and immediate feedback increase adherence and the number of repetitions completed during each session.
Yes. It is currently used in neurological, geriatric and musculoskeletal rehabilitation with patients of varying ages and functional levels.
