Does a serious game increase intrinsic motivation in children receiving urotherapy?

Urotherapy is considered the treatment of choice for children suffering day time incontinence (DUI). Urotherapy intends to improve bladder dysfunction for children with DUI. For children with refractory DUI an intensive inpatient bladder training program exists, which focuses on relearning, concentration on and awareness of the bladder. Children ’s motivation and adherence are key determinants of a successful training outcome. We hypothesize that motivation endurance throughout the treatment process may be enhanced by a serious game training tool, which could make the training more appealing and rewarding.
