Rebuilding movement, one key at a time.
I had an ischemic stroke in March 2025, which initially left me with left-sided paralysis. Movement Lab grew from my own recovery and now offers gentle practice tools for anyone rebuilding hand control, coordination or keyboard confidence after a neurological condition, brain injury, surgery or other upper-limb difficulty.
Accessible movement practice
Seven ways to practise
Choose from touch, reaching, movement-key, deliberate key-press, typing and sequencing activities. These browser-based tools are designed to be calm, accessible and repeatable. They are not medical treatment — use them alongside professional advice, work at your own pace and focus on control rather than speed.
🎮 Movement Key Finder
Practise finding movement keys using WASD, IJKL or the arrow keys with visual guidance and immediate feedback.
Open activity →⌨️ Typing Accuracy
Type a short paragraph at your own pace. Focus on accuracy, not speed, and track recent results.
Open activity →🖐️ Deliberate Key Presses
Follow one clear key prompt at a time and receive direct feedback for pressing, holding briefly and releasing the key.
Open activity →🗺️ Gentle Maze
Navigate a freshly generated maze using WASD in a calm, pressure-free environment.
Open activity →🚀 Letter Drift
A smooth canvas typing-shooter with a triangle ship, drifting words, lock-on targeting, and accuracy-first practice.
Open activity →🌱 Letter Garden
A calm sequencing game where correct letters bloom into flowers and progress feels like growing something.
Open activity →The specific feeling
“I know what key I want — but my finger goes somewhere else.”
That is the problem this site starts from. Not just weakness. Not just slow movement. The difficult part can be losing the automatic map between intention, hand position, and the keyboard.
Recovery principle
Many stroke rehabilitation recommendations emphasise high-repetition, task-specific practice. Here, the task is deliberately narrow: finding keys, correcting errors, and rebuilding confidence.
Keep it free
Help build Movement Lab
Movement Lab will remain free for everyone. If the project has helped you and you would like to contribute, Ko-fi support helps with site upkeep and the coffees that fuel future improvements.
