Abstract
The present invention provides a therapeutic game for holistically engaging people who have had a stroke or other brain injury in gross and fine motor skill activities. The therapeutic game is a self-contained set of objects that can be placed on or in a set of targets. Targets can be openings within a container in which to drop or toss the objects. A target can be a daisy support with a base, stem, and receptacle removably attachable to the stem on which or in which an object can be placed. A scoring system can also be used mark progress and to engage the mental powers as well as the physical powers.
Claims18
A therapeutic game comprising:
- a) a container with a closable lid;
- b) at least two target openings near the top of the container;
- c) at least two objects;
- and
- d) a daisy support
- wherein each of the at least two objects can pass through at least one of the at least two target openings,
- wherein the daisy support comprises a base, a stem attachable to the base, and at least one receptacle removably attachable to the stem distal from the base, wherein the at least one receptacle is capable of intermittently holding up at least one of the at least two objects, and
- wherein the stem is attachable to the base either permanently or removably,
- wherein the at least one receptacle comprises
- i) an attachment section capable of overlapping with the distal end of the stem when the at least one receptacle is removably attached to the stem;
- ii) a transition section permanently attached to the attachment section, wherein the transition section is not capable of overlapping with the distal end of the stem when the at least one receptacle is removably attached to the stem;
- and
- iii) an object-holding section attached to the transition section,
- wherein when the receptacle is removably attached to the stem, the attachment section is below the transition section, the transition section is below the object-holding section, and the object holding section is centered over the stem, and
- wherein the at least one receptacle is capable of intermittently holding up at least one of the at least two objects placed on or in the object-holding section.

- and
- ii) an adjustment section slidably attached to the at least three flexible rods,
- wherein the adjustable object-holding section comprises an effective opening among the flexible rods, and wherein a size of the effective opening is adjustable from larger to smaller by moving the adjustment section further away from the transition section.

- f) at least one additional receptacle removably attachable to the stem distal from the base
- wherein each of the adjustable receptacle and the at least one additional receptacle comprises:
- a) an attachment section capable of overlapping with the distal end of the stem when the adjustable receptacle or the at least one additional receptacle is removably attached to the stem;
- b) a transition section connected to the attachment section, wherein the transition section is not capable of overlapping with the distal end of the stem when the adjustable receptacle or the at least one additional receptacle is removably attached to the stem;
- and
- c) an object-holding section attached to the transition section on a side opposite to the attachment section,
- wherein each of the adjustable receptacle and the at least one additional receptacle is capable of intermittently holding up at least one of the objects placed on or in the object-holding section,
- wherein, the adjustable receptacle object-holding section comprises:
- i) at least three flexible rods fixedly attached to the distal side of the transition section;
- and
- ii) an adjustment section slidably attached to the at least three flexible rods,
- wherein the adjustable receptable object-holding section comprises an effective opening among the flexible rods, and wherein a size of the effective opening is adjustable from larger to smaller by moving the adjustment section further away from the transition section, and
- wherein each of the objects can pass through at least one of the two to four target openings.
