Trains alertness
and timing
The client follows the arrow, waits for the right moment and tries to hit the target in the goal.
Penalty
Activity
Penalty is a movement-based activity in Medulla. The client follows the laser, aims at the target in the goal and shoots by extending their arm. The activity responds to the angle of the elbow.
No controllers
Just a laptop and camera
Shoot by extending the arm
Accuracy + movement
Why choose Penalty?
Trains alertness
Gets the arm moving
and works with the elbow
A bent arm means the shot is loaded. Once the client extends their arm to the side, the ball is shot.
Fun for individuals
and groups
Penalty naturally encourages cheering, friendly competition, laughter and a shared experience.
Suitable for clients
sitting, lying down, standing or in a wheelchair
The activity can be adapted to the client’s abilities, although it works best when played sitting down.
How Penalty works in Medulla
1
The activity coordinator
starts the activity
They select Penalty on the laptop and prepare the camera so it can clearly see the client’s hand movement.
2
The client follows the laser
and the target in the goal
The arrow moves from right to left. The goal is to shoot when it reaches the target.
3
By extending the arm,
the client shoots
A bent arm means the shot is loaded. Once the client extends their arm, Medulla measures the elbow angle and shoots.
I enjoyed the penalty shots. I had to concentrate,
time the shot correctly, and move my arm.
