Recent evidence has demonstrated the efficacy of Virtual Reality (VR) for stroke rehabilitation nonetheless its benefits and limitations in large population patients have not yet been studied.
Telerehabilitation enables a remotely controlled programme to be used treat motor deficits in post-stroke patients. The effects of this telerehabilitation approach were compared with traditional rehabilitation methods.Randomized single-blind trial.A total 36 patients mild arm impairments due ischaemic stroke the region middle cerebral artery.The experimental treatment was virtual reality-based system delivered via Internet, which provided tasks from remote facility. control group underwent...
Rehabilitation therapy is believed to be useful during the first few months after stroke when recovery usually takes place. However, evidence exists that this may not rule for all victims. Therefore, we investigated, in a selected group of poststroke patients, profile response long-term rehabilitation therapy.Fifty-one hemiplegic subjects unable walk 3 were enrolled study. Patients underwent consecutive periods up 2 years cerebrovascular accident. Autonomy daily living activities and degree...
Objectives . To study whether the reinforced feedback in virtual environment (RFVE) is more effective than traditional rehabilitation (TR) for treatment of upper limb motor function after stroke, regardless stroke etiology (i.e., ischemic, hemorrhagic). Design Randomized controlled trial. Participants Forty-four patients affected by stroke. Intervention The were randomized into two groups: RFVE (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
In neurorehabilitation, the use of innovative technologies offers many opportunities to monitor and improve health status patients with severe acquired brain injury (SABI). Telerehabilitation allows for continuity service through entire rehabilitation cycle, including assessment, intervention, consultation, education, affording early reintegration positively enhancing quality life (QoL).The main purpose this multicenter randomized controlled trial was test effectiveness advanced training...
We conducted a pilot telerehabilitation study with post-stroke patients arm motor impairment. compared the degree of satisfaction undergoing virtual reality (VR) therapy programme at home (Tele-VR group) to experienced by those same VR in hospital setting (VR-group). The rehabilitation equipment used 3D motion tracking system create environment which patient's movement was represented. In tele-therapy, patient installed their homes, connected four ISDN lines total bandwidth 512 kbit/s....
Background. Six months after a stroke, the hemiplegic arm often remains compromised. More innovative approaches to motor rehabilitation are needed. Objective. The authors compared learning—based approach in virtual environment with more conventional upper extremity therapy pilot trial. Methods . This prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial reinforced feedback (RFVE; n = 27) control intervention (n 20) of progressive for affected extremity. Both treatments were provided 4...
Background: This pilot study compared the effects of lexical-semantic stimulation through telecommunication technology (LSS-tele) with in-person LSS (LSS-direct) and unstructured cognitive treatment (UCS) in patients early Alzheimer’s disease. Methods: Twenty-seven disease very stage (Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE] >26/30) were divided into three groups: seven received LSS-tele treatment, ten standard LSS-direct intervention, participants underwent UCS as control condition....
To evaluate the utility of revised coma remission scale (CRS-r), together with other clinical variables, in predicting emergence from disorders consciousness (DoC) during intensive rehabilitation care. Data were retrospectively extracted medical records patients enrolled a specialized unit. 123 vegetative state (VS) and 57 minimally conscious (MCS) included followed for period 8 weeks. Demographical factors used as outcome measures. Univariate multivariate Cox regression models employed...
The progressive improvement of the living conditions and medical care population in industrialized countries has led to healthcare interventions, including rehabilitation. From this perspective, Telerehabilitation (TR) plays an important role. TR consists application telemedicine rehabilitation offer remote services unable reach healthcare. integrates therapy-recovery-assistance, with continuity treatments, aimed at neurological psychological recovery, involving patient a family environment,...
Enhanced feedback provided by a virtual reality system has been shown to promote motor learning in normal subjects. We evaluated whether this approach could be useful for treating patients with deficits following brain lesions. Fifty subjects mild intermediate arm impairments due stroke were selected the study. The received treatment daily one month, consisting of an hour virtual-environment therapy enhanced feedback. Before and after therapy, we assessed degree impairment autonomy living...
Primary objective: The advanced communication technology may allow rehabilitative interventions to patients living at home from a remote provider. We evaluated the effects of tele-rehabilitation system for therapy arm motor impairments due stroke.Research design: Experimental observational study.Methods and procedures: selected five suffering mild/intermediate long-lasting ischaemic stroke. Two workstations were utilized, one in patient's house other rehabilitation hospital, connected...
