We aim to build a system incorporating electroencephalography (EEG) and augmented reality (AR) that is capable of identifying the presence visual spatial neglect (SN) mapping estimated neglected field. An EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI) was used identify those spatiospectral features best detect participants with SN among stroke survivors using their EEG responses ipsilesional contralesional stimuli. Frontal-central delta alpha, frontal-parietal theta, Fp1 beta, left frontal gamma...
An understandable measure to describe disabilities after stroke is important for clinical practice; practitioners often use multiple measures that contain different scoring systems and scales rate activities of daily living (ADL) independence. We compared the construct independence in five used with survivors. The evaluated survivors somewhat differently. Rasch analysis Partial Credit Model converted items from these a single metric, yielding an item difficulty hierarchy all measures. Data...
Abstract Importance: Guidance is limited for training protocols that support stakeholders who are new to participating in telerehabilitation interventions using videoconferencing software. Objective: To explore stakeholders’ experiences a group-based intervention during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic software (Zoom). Design: Ad hoc exploratory thematic analysis. Setting: Community-based telerehabilitation. Participants: Stakeholders included group members (n = 8) were...
Significant advancements in acute stroke medical management have changed rehabilitation. In addition, an ever-changing health care ecosystem and heightened awareness of continued new challenges requires that the occupational therapy profession consider new, innovative, pragmatic approaches to measurement, intervention, services research, clinical practice. The must elevate focus rigor research examining occupation participation after stroke, their associations with health. Intervention...
Purpose Strategy training is a promising stroke rehabilitation intervention commonly delivered in Western countries. We examined the perspectives of therapists who have strategy Taiwan and United States to understand influence culture on implementation.Materials methods In this rapid ethnographic study, maximum variation sampling approach was used recruit seven with experience delivering training. Data collected from multiple sources, including interviews, study documents, therapist notes,...
Strategy training, a rehabilitation intervention, reduces disability and improves functional skills associated with goal-directed behavior. Stroke lesions impacting selected ventromedial regions of interest initiation behavior may attenuate intervention response. If so, strategy training not be optimal for people stroke in these regions.To examine whether changes status attributed to training.Secondary analysis data from two randomized controlled clinical trials.Inpatient...
Strategy training is a multidisciplinary rehabilitation approach that teaches skills to reduce disability among those with cognitive impairments following stroke. has been shown in randomized, controlled clinical trials be more feasible and efficacious intervention for promoting independence than traditional approaches. A standardized fidelity assessment used measure adherence treatment principles by examining guided directed verbal cues video recordings of sessions. Although the detecting...
Spatial neglect (SN) is a neurological disorder that causes inattention to visual stimuli in the contralesional field, stemming from unilateral brain injury such as stroke. The current gold standard method of SN assessment, conventional Behavioral Inattention Test (BIT-C), highly variable and inconsistent its results. In our previous work, we built an augmented reality (AR)-based BCI overcome limitations BIT-C classified between neglected non-neglected targets with high accuracy. Our...
One-third to half of people with acute stroke result in newly acquired cognitive impairments. Stroke-related impairments are associated significant functional disability. Strategy training is an intervention designed reduce this type Randomized controlled clinical trials demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy intervention. To measure adherence treatment principles strategy training, a fidelity assessment can be performed by examining guided directed verbal gesture cues made therapists...
Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due online event limitations. We examined similarities and differences in cultural values, beliefs, experiences between OTs Taiwan the United States with respect delivery of a strategy-training intervention approach stroke survivors. Findings this study increase understanding distinctions strategy training traditional rehabilitation practice highlight potential factors that may affect survivors different...
