Rehabilitation is a critical process for enhancing functionality, independence, and quality of life in individuals with disabilities. Grounded the biopsychosocial model, it addresses physical, emotional, social dimensions through personalized, evidence-based interventions. By integrating standardized assessments continuous evaluation, rehabilitation has potential to promote recovery support active participation society. This study evaluated impact long-term, multidisciplinary, home-based...
One emerging method in home stroke rehabilitation is digital technology. However, existing approaches typically target one domain (e.g., upper limb). Moreover, interventions do not cater to older adults with (OAwS), especially those high motor impairment, who require adjunct therapeutic agents independently perform challenging exercises. We examined the feasibility of Smartphone-based Exercise Training after Stroke (SETS) Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). A total 12 participants (67 ±...
Describe the survival, sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of subjects with disorders consciousness in a reference rehabilitation center, developing country.
Stroke survivors often face challenges in recovery and reintegration after acute care. Home-based rehabilitation, incorporating advanced technologies like Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), shows promise for improving long-term outcomes by providing more accessible, high-intensity, task-oriented rehabilitation outside traditional clinical settings.
Objective To examine the effects of a six-week body weight-support treadmill training (BWSTT) program on center-of-mass control and gait independence in chronic, incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) patients.Design Descriptive.Setting Clinica Los Coihues. Neurorehabilitation center Santiago, Chile.Participants 17 chronic iSCI patients healthy subjects.Outcome Measures An instrumented sway (ISway) test was performed before after implementation BWSTT program. The standing balance participants...
Foot drop is a gait disturbance characterized by difficulty in performing ankle dorsiflexion during the swing phase of cycle. Current available evidence shows that functional electrical stimulation (FES) on musculature responsible for dorsal flexion can have positive effects walking ability. This study aims to present proof concept novel easy-to-use FES system and evaluates biomechanical stroke patients, compared unassisted walking. Gait was quantitatively evaluated movement analysis...
This study evaluated the impact of a long-term, multidisciplinary, home-based rehabilitation program on quality life, balance, and functional autonomy in adults with neuromusculoskeletal disabilities. A total 559 participants received individualized interventions from team physical therapists, occupational psychologists, other health professionals. Functional independence, depressive symptoms, life were assessed using Barthel Index, Berg Balance Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, SF-36...
