Background Traditional rehabilitation programs for children with cerebral palsy and acquired brain injuries aim to enhance motor cognitive abilities through repetitive exercises, which are often perceived as tedious demotivating. Extended reality technologies, including augmented (AR) virtual reality, offer more engaging methods exergames. However, date, no AR exergames simultaneously integrate aspects within navigational tasks. Developing these necessitates rigorous methodological steps,...
Background and Objectives: While shoulder injuries represent the musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) most encountered in physical therapy, there is no consensus on their management. In attempts to provide standardized personalized treatment, a robotic-assisted device combined with EMG biofeedback specifically dedicated MSDs was developed. This study aimed determine efficacy of an 8-week rehabilitation program (3 sessions week) using (RA-EMG group) comparison conventional (CONV patients...
The aim of this study is to assess the effect virtual reality (VR) sessions on mental health older adults. This interventional multicentric included 68 participants in residential aged care facilities Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Nouvelle-Aquitaine (France). intervention consisted eight VR that incorporated a personalized 360° video followed by social interaction. Changes anxiety, depression, quality life, emotional state, identification with community, loneliness were assessed pre-...
Background: The objective of this study was to compare students’ satisfaction towards computer-based debriefing with instructor-led debriefing. Methods: In experimental cross-over study, 43 physiotherapy students were invited resolve two clinical cases, each designed a and an Debriefing Experience Scale used assess the different methods. Results: We observed significant difference regarding student in favour (score/100 = 84.2±11.1) compared one 72.1±16.6, p<0.001). Conclusion: Currently...
Executive function impairment (in particular, mental flexibility) in the elderly, and patients with mild cognitive (MCI), is strongly correlated difficulties performing complex walking tasks. The aim of this study was to determine if adaptation a neuropsychological test (the Trail-Making Test), evaluate executive functions during walking, can be an early detection tool for impairment.Fifty subjects (15 young, 20 older, presumably healthy, 15 MCI) were first evaluated (Mini-Mental State...
Introduction: Many studies have reported that regular physical activity is positively associated with cognitive performance and more selectively executive functions. However, some the association of on in younger adults was not as clearly established when compared to older adults. Among many physiological mechanisms may influence functioning, prefrontal (PFC) oxygenation seems play a major role. The aim current study assess whether function are dependent levels (active versus inactive)...
Background: Several studies have reported the potential value of dual-task concept during locomotion in clinical evaluation because cognitive decline is strongly associated with gait abnormalities. However, current tests appear to be insufficient for early diagnosis impairment. Methods: Forty-nine subjects (young, old, or without mild impairment) underwent (Mini-Mental State Examination, Frontal Assessment Battery, five-word test, Stroop, clock-drawing) and single-task locomotor on an...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Alzheimer disease (AD) is particularly devastating, with no cure, means of prevention, and proven way to slow progression. AD associated the worsening cognitive function attributable a variety factors which little known. Our main objective was determine rapid decline (RCD) in older patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We conducted<b><i></i></b> 12-month, prospective, multi-centre cohort...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have disturbances in their spatial navigation abilities and exhibit early deficits visuospatial short-term memory. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether a quantitative (span score) qualitative (evaluating strategies used) analysis Corsi test (usual condition complex task) would be useful reveal decline. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We evaluated performance 15...
Immersive virtual patient simulation could help medical students in clinical reasoning, but there is a lack of literature on the effectiveness this method healthcare learning. A pilot randomised controlled study compared performance (exam score) case immersive to text for physiotherapy students. In experimental group, was presented by an 360° video that watched with standalone headset, whereas control group used only. survey investigated students' perceptions case, their experience reality,...
Background: Walking represents a major component of physical activity (PA), and its restriction could degrade autonomy quality life. An important objective for preventive and/or rehabilitative strategies to improve balance gait in normal pathological aging conditions is focus on activity. Activity monitors have recently been getting increasingly popular represent modern solution measure-and communicate-PA notably terms steps/day. These are well-suited various populations as they can be worn...
Stroke patients often exhibit difficulties performing a cognitive task while walking, defined as dual (DT). Their prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity is higher in DT than single (ST). The effects of an increasing load on PFC during subacute stroke remains unexplored. Our objective was to assess the N-back tasks (low/high load) cerebral activity, gait parameters and performances. Eleven (days post-stroke 45.8±31.6) participated this study (71.4±10 yrs, BMI 26.7±4.8 kg.m-2, Barthel index...
