The aim of the study was to identify differences regarding usability, acceptability, and barriers usage a robot-supported gait rehabilitation system between younger older group patients with impairments. A mobile prototype tested on geriatric aged 60 above, young 59 below in clinical setting during five therapy sessions. involved therapists received 2 days training could test it profoundly. Data were collected questionnaires structured interviews patients. robotic overall moderate usability...
Abstract According to national dementia plan in many countries, the music implementation into daily routine as an adjunctive therapy medication treatment is common. However, ability of long-term care facilities implement individualized (MT) and music-based interventions not sufficiently taken account. This pilot study examined frequency use acceptance MT technology-based (TBMI) well influence high low usage both on behavioral psychological symptoms (BPSD) at two timepoints. Furthermore,...
The majority of lipid metabolism disorders can be managed well if patients adhere to their therapies. Self-monitoring drive adherence with regards medication intake, physical activities, and nutrition. Technical devices like smartphones further support its users achieve health-related goals. In a clinical trial, 100 were asked use smartphone application over duration 12 months. Users this app could set reminders keep track other disease-related variables, such as weight cholesterol.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive paresis of the extremities and loss manual functioning. Due to severe functional impairment that entails, ALS requires provision comprehensive nursing care complex set assistive technology devices. To relieve caregivers promote autonomy people with ALS, robotic assistance systems are being developed. This trial aims evaluate acceptance technology, in general, arm among order lay groundwork...
Restrictions in mobility can lead to social and health-related issues. Assistive technologies devices help sustain or regain affected persons. One of the most commonly used is wheelchair. Many wheelchair users experience difficulties within provision process with device itself. The presented study investigated satisfaction corresponding process.A comprehensive online survey was conducted. questionnaire surveyed quality wheelchairs among Germany. Descriptive methods were analyse results....
BACKGROUND:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurologic disease. Affected patients suffer from gradual loss of functional capacities. The use assistive technology and devices (ATD) can help them sustain their autonomy ability social participation. OBJECTIVE:The objective o f this study was to analyze the experiences with ATD identify issues related among ALS caregivers. METHODS:Semi-structured interviews were conducted five patients, caregiving relatives, professional...
BACKGROUND:Low back pain (LBP) is a common cause for disabilities and reduced autonomy in older adults. Exercise therapy has shown to be effective the reduction of symptoms LBP with bridging exercises as commonly used intervention. can supported biofeedback-base d methods order further improve motor control. The availability relatively inexpensive devices like Nintendo Wii opens up new treatment biofeedback-based patients LBP. METHODS:We conducted 3-armed randomized controlled trial...
Background/Aims The ability to climb stairs is an important prerequisite for activities of daily living and social participation in older adults, therefore part rehabilitation. However, there no consensus on how measure stair-climbing ability. aim this study was investigate the test–retest reliability measurement speed (steps per second) as a parameter functional adults. Methods A total 57 participants who were hospital 56 community-dwelling did not have any limitations living, all aged 60...
Although robotic manipulators have great potential in promoting motor independence of people with impairments, only few systems are currently commercially available. In addition to technical, economic, and normative barriers, a key challenge for their distribution is the current lack evidence regarding usefulness, acceptance, user-specific requirements.Against this background, semiautonomous robot system was developed research development project, robot-assisted services individual...
Introduction: Dementia Care Mapping (DCM) was originally developed as an observation tool to examine person-centered care in long-term facilities and evaluate the quality of life well-being people with dementia (PwD). However, effects a music intervention using this have not been investigated so far. This leads following research question: How does which involves therapy other music-based interventions affect observed behavior PwD living nursing homes? Methods: In 14-week, non-controlled...

Idee/Ziel Die Amyotrophe Lateralsklerose (ALS) ist eine unheilbare Krankheit mit fortschreitender Lähmung der Skelettmuskulatur, die Betroffene in Palliativsituation führt. Der Ausfall motorischer Fähigkeiten könnte jedoch durch Delegation von Handlungen an ein robotisches Assistenzsystem streckenweise kompensiert werden. Gebrauch Robotik im Alltag würde dann Entlastung für und Bezugspersonen darstellen.
