    Pediatric acquired brain injury (ABI) is a leading cause of long-term disability in children, affecting various cognitive and motor functions.

  • 2

    Extended reality (XR) technologies, including virtual and augmented reality, show potential in enhancing engagement and motivation in pediatric ABI rehabilitation.

  • 3

    Fatigue is a common and often unrecognized symptom in children with ABI, significantly impacting their rehabilitation and overall engagement.

  • 4

    Current XR rehabilitation solutions do not adequately address fatigue or individual differences in children's energy levels and motivation.

  • 5

    This qualitative case study investigates gamification and XR design elements that influence engagement and fatigue in home-based motor rehabilitation for children with ABI.
