Imagine the frustration of trying to use a games controller accurately when you\u2019ve got an arm tremor. That\u2019s the challenge Tye was facing, but after some small but vital setup changes by our therapists, he\u2019s able to tame his games.<\/p>\n

Tye\u2019s right arm has a tremor as a result of a brain injury, so reaching out to press controller buttons is a real challenge. His brother was helping him to play on his Xbox but he was keen to game independently.<\/p>\n

Our therapists Jacob and Nomi suggested that an Xbox Elite controller with the paddles remapped to the triggers and bumpers might help – and it made a huge difference. The extra weight of the Elite also helped stabilise Tye\u2019s tremor when he was pressing the face buttons, and the addition of thumbstick grips gave him even more control. Small changes, big difference!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re so glad that Tye can look forward to an exciting future of gaming magic – including Descenders, his favourite!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Imagine the frustration of trying to use a games controller accurately when you\u2019ve got an arm tremor.
