Abstract Trial objective To verify whether conventional rehabilitation combined with specific virtual reality is more effective than therapy alone in restoring hand motor function and muscle tone after stroke. design This prospective single-blind randomized controlled trial compared based on physiotherapy occupational (control group) the combination of technology (experimental group). Participants were allocated to these groups a ratio 1:1. The therapists blinded study, but neither...
Purpose state: The aim of this preliminary study was to test a data glove, CyberTouch™, combined with virtual reality (VR) environment, for using in therapeutic training reaching movements after spinal cord injury (SCI). Method: Nine patients thoracic SCI were selected perform pilot by comparing two treatments: the intervention group (IG) conducted VR based on use CyberTouch™ 2 weeks, while control (CG) only underwent traditional rehabilitation. Furthermore, functional parameters implemented...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects a virtual reality program combined with conventional therapy in upper limb function people tetraplegia and provide data about patients’ satisfaction system. Thirty-one subacute complete cervical participated study. Experimental group received 15 sessions Toyra ® system for 5 weeks, 30 minutes/day, 3 days/week addition therapy, while control only therapy. All patients were assessed at baseline, after intervention, three-month follow-up...
Objective: To evaluate the influence of conventional rehabilitation combined with virtual reality on improving quality life related to post-stroke health. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Rehabilitation and neurology departments a general hospital (Talavera de la Reina, Spain). Subjects: A total 43 participants subacute stroke. Intervention: Participants were randomized into experimental group (conventional treatment + reality) control treatment). Main measures: Health-related...
This study aimed to assess the impact of combining transcranial direct current stimulation with end-effector robot-assisted treatment on upper limb function, spasticity, and hand dexterity in chronic stroke patients.
Early warning scores (EWSs) help prevent and recognize thereby act as the first signs of clinical physiological deterioration. The objective this study is to evaluate different EWSs (National Warning Score 2 (NEWS2), quick sequential organ failure assessment score (qSOFA), Modified Rapid Emergency Medicine (MREMS) Acute Physiology (RAPS)) predict mortality within 48 h in patients suspected have Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We conducted a retrospective observational over 18 years age...
This research analyzed the combined effect of conventional treatment and virtual reality exposure therapy on motor function upper extremities in people with stroke. We designed a randomized controlled trial set rehabilitation neurology departments hospital (Talavera de la Reina, Spain). The subjects included 43 participants, all into experimental (conventional + therapy) control group treatment).; main measures were Fugl-Meyer Assessment for extremity, Modified Ashworth Scale, Stroke Impact...
Abstract Introduction Admission glucose levels in acute illnesses are critical prognostic biomarkers; yet their impact on long‐term outcomes has not been sufficiently studied, particularly emergency medical services (EMS). This study aims to establish specific cut‐off points predict 2‐year mortality patients treated departments (ED), stratified by diabetes status (Nondiabetic, Uncomplicated and Complicated diabetes). Methods A multicentre, prospective cohort was conducted, including 5632...
The objective of this study was to analyze and compare the usefulness quick sequential organ failure assessment score (qSOFA) (SOFA) scores for detection early (two-day) mortality in patients transported by emergency medical services (EMSs) department (ED) (infectious non-infectious). We performed a multicentric, prospective blinded end-point adults with high priority ambulance from scene ED participation five hospitals. For each score, area under curve (AUC) receiver operating...
The COVID-19 pandemic is having an intense impact on the functional capacity of older adults, making them more vulnerable to frailty and dependency. development preventive rehabilitative measures which counteract consequences confinement or hospitalization urgent need. Exergaming can promote physical activity, prevent falls, maintain cognitive capacity. However, although use exergames in health programs for elderly promising, their widespread should not be considered without supervision a...
(1) Background: The increasing life expectancy brings an increase in geriatric syndromes, specifically frailty. literature shows that exercise is a key to preventing, or even reversing, frailty community-dwelling populations. main objective demonstrate how intervention based on multicomponent produces improvement and pre-frailty population. (2) Methods: prospective observational study of program for revitalization with people aged over 65 holding Barthel Index scores equal to, beyond, 90....
Traumatic brain injuries are complex situations in which the emergency medical services must quickly determine risk of deterioration using minimal diagnostic methods. The aim this study is to analyze whether use early warning scores can help with decision-making these dynamic by determining patients who need intensive care unit. A prospective, multicentric cohort without intervention was carried out on traumatic injury aged over 18 given advanced life support and taken hospital. Our included...
In recent years, there has been a significant growth in the number of research works focused on improving lifestyle and health elderly people by means technology. Telerehabilitation promotion physical activity at home have two fields that attracted more attention, especially currently due to COVID-19 pandemic. However, are sometimes reluctant use technology home, mainly fear lack familiarity. this context, article presents low-cost platform relies exergames natural user interfaces promote...

Background: In the field of healthcare, higher skills in emotional intelligence (EI) have been proven to a positive impact on healthcare professionals general and occupational therapists particular also teamwork patient care. The purpose this research was determine whether performing practical work included undergraduate Occupational Therapy program improves students' self-perceived EI, there are any differences latter depending area which training is performed. Methods: It conducted...
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the predictive capacity five Early Warning Scores in relation clinical evolution adult patients with different types trauma.We conducted a longitudinal, prospective, observational study, calculating [Modified Score (MEWS), National 2 (NEWS-2), VitalPAC (ViEWS), Modified Rapid Emergency Medicine (MREMS), and Acute Physiology (RAPS)] upon arrival emergency department.In total, 445 cases traumatic injuries were included study.The verified data on...
Abstract Objective: This study aimed to determine the long-term mortality (one-year follow-up) associated with patients transferred by Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and reveal determinants (causes risk factors). Methods: was a multicenter, prospective, observational, controlled, ambulance-based of adult ambulance emergency departments (EDs) from October 2019 through July 2021 for any cause. A total six Advanced Life Support (ALS) units, 38 Basic (BLS) five hospitals Spain were included....
