Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the fastest-growing neurological in world. A key challenge PD tracking severity, progression, and medication response. Existing methods are semisubjective require visiting clinic. In this work, we demonstrate an effective approach for assessing response at home, objective manner. We used a radio device located background of home. The detected analyzed waves that bounce off people’s bodies inferred their movements gait speed. continuously monitored 50 participants,...
Background and Purpose: We addressed questions about the potential discrepancy between improvements in activity capacity performance daily life. asked whether this is: Common routine, outpatient care, or an artifact of intervention studies? Unique to upper limb (UL) rehabilitation, is it seen walking rehabilitation too? Only persons with stroke, a broader neurorehabilitation problem? Methods: A longitudinal, observational cohort 156 participants stroke Parkinson disease (PD) receiving at 5...
Abstract Background To date, no medication has slowed the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Preclinical, epidemiological, and experimental data on humans all support many benefits endurance exercise among persons with PD. The key question is whether there a definitive additional benefit exercising at high intensity, in terms slowing progression, beyond well-documented training treadmill for fitness, gait, functional mobility. This study will determine efficacy high-intensity as...
In this paper, we present ExerciseCheck. ExerciseCheck is an interactive computer vision system that sufficiently modular to work with different sources of human pose estimates, i.e., estimates from deep or traditional models interpret RGB RGB-D camera input. a pilot study, first compare the produced by four based on input those MS Kinect data. The results indicate performance gap required us choose when tested Parkinson's disease patients in their homes. capable customizing exercises,...
In 2009, the Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy published President's Perspective, written by Katherine J. Sullivan, PT, PhD, then President Neurology Section APTA.1 this perspective, she presented her vision for neurologic physical therapy practice in United States light practitioners' continued embrace traditional treatment approaches patients with acute-onset injuries, including neurodevelopment (NDT), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and associated interventions that...
Abstract Background Parkinson disease (PD) is a debilitating and chronic neurodegenerative resulting in ambulation difficulties. Natural walking activity often declines early progression despite the relative stability of motor impairments. In this study, we propose paradigm shift with “connected behavioral approach” that targets real-world using cognitive-behavioral training mobile health (mHealth) technology. Methods/design The Walking mHealth to Increase Participation Disease (WHIP-PD)...
Home-based exercising is a vital part of any physical therapy program. With correct execution the exercises, faster recovery from impairments can be achieved. conventional approaches, however, home-based program may not as effective due to lack supervision by therapist at home. ExerciseCheck designed remote monitoring and evaluation platform for individuals involved in therapy. The goal provide patients therapists with real-time visual feedback quantitative analysis. In this paper, we...
Purpose To understand therapeutic priorities, a secondary data analysis on retrospective cohort was conducted to classify rehabilitation goals according the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF).
Walking activity in persons with Parkinson disease (PD) is important for preventing functional decline. The contribution of walking to home and community mobility PD poorly understood.Cross-sectional baseline data (N = 69) were analyzed from a randomized controlled trial. Life-Space Assessment (LSA) quantified the extent, frequency, independence across 5 expanding levels mobility, producing individual subscores total score. Two additional summed scores used represent within (Levels 1-3)...
Background and Purpose: Few persons with Parkinson disease (PD) appear to engage in moderate-intensity walking associated disease-modifying health benefits. How much time is spent at lower, yet still potentially beneficial, intensities poorly understood. The purpose of this exploratory, observational study was describe natural intensity ambulatory PD. Methods: Accelerometer-derived real-world data were collected for more than 7 days baseline from 82 participants enrolled a PD clinical trial....
Abstract Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative and approximately half of those diagnosed with PD will experience freezing gait (FOG). FOG a severe motor disturbance that prevents stepping despite intention to do so may be associated anxiety, decreased cognitive functioning, depression, poorer quality life. In this study, we administered short-form Quality Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QOL) measurement system 43 people (28 non-freezers 15 freezers)...
