Ask HN: Helping a stroke victim regain hand-eye coordination with video games?

I've got a friend's dad who's a three-time stroke victim. Prior to the first, dude was left handed. Knowing the guy, I think he'd really enjoy the Halo series of video games or something adjacent, but with his left hand being pretty addled and that being his formerly dominant hand, I'm really worried that being now in his late 60's he'd be really really reluctant to even try. My thinking, and the reason I'm asking here, is that if I could somehow get him to give it a try, maybe his brain could form some resistance to further degeneration to at the very least resist or delay the inevitable through enjoying an experience that would build up a neuro-adaptive/hand-eye coordinative system as a result of that enjoyment/entertainment experience (provided I could "sell" him on giving it a try). Is there any research or even any anecdotal experience on this being a viable theory in the slightest? Anyone out there think I'm even remotely batshit crazy with this idea, emotional affinity for the medium outstanding? If I'm nuts in even considering this, fine, no problem - I'd rather that than waste his time or mine - but if there's anything to my theory in the slightest, even if a remote possibility at best, I'd rather give it a try than not, provided, of course, it bears the slightest chance of success if vetted by another that's either seen such success of possess the medical credibility to conceive of the same (which I do not). Thanks for the opinions, HN. Have a nice weekend!
