Description:

The purpose of the presentation is to introduce the Online-boccia system and show some effectiveness of Online-boccia participation among people with and without disabilities. The Online-boccia system was developed by the Association of Online-boccia for people with disabilities who cannot leave their homes, institutions or hospitals to play boccia. Players control the distance and direction of the boccia ball throw from a remote location via the Internet. This is an evaluation study; thus, the number of participants is still growing, and the most up-to-date results will be announced on the day of the conference. Participants will play Online-boccia during the presentation.

Learning Outcomes:

As a result of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Identify the differences between boccia and Online-boccia.

• Control the boccia ramp by using iPad.

• Throw boccia balls by using iPad.
