Over fifty percent of stroke patients experience chronic arm hand performance problems, compromising independence in daily life activities and quality life. Task-oriented training may improve after stroke, whereby augmented therapy lead to a better treatment outcome. Technology-supported holds opportunities for increasing intensity. However, the effects robot-supported task-oriented with real objects are not known date. The aim present study was investigate effectiveness added value Haptic...
Abstract Background Attentional distraction from pain has been shown to be largely ineffective for obtaining a hypoalgesic effect in patients with chronic when compared control condition. It hypothesized that this may due the non-engaging types of have used so far. Moreover, it is suggested effects attenuated by pain-related cognitions and emotions, as they increase attention pain. Methods In randomized controlled trial, nonspecific low back intervention group ( n = 42) performed single...
Abstract Background Most studies fail to show an association between higher levels of pain‐related fear and protective movement behaviour in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). This may be explained by the fact that only general measures have been used examine patterns. study explored whether task‐specific, instead can predict behaviour. Methods Fifty‐five CLBP 54 healthy persons performed a lifting task while kinematic measurements were obtained assess lumbar range motion (ROM)....
As stroke incidence increases, therapists' time is under pressure. Technology-supported rehabilitation may offer new opportunities. The objective of this study was to evaluate patient motivation for and the feasibility effects a technology-supported task-oriented arm training regime (T-TOAT). Nine chronic patients performed T-TOAT (2 × 30 min/day, four days/week) during eight weeks. A system including movement tracking sensors, exercise board, software-based toolkit used skill training....
Exercise therapy (ET) is advocated as a treatment for chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP). However, effect sizes remain low. In other disorders, training at higher intensity has resulted in greater improvements on both general health related and disease specific outcomes compared to lower-intensity ET. Possibly, high-intensity also improves CNSLBP.To compare the effects of ET program with similar moderate-intensity disability, pain, function, exercise capacity, abdominal/back muscle...
Posture monitoring and correction technologies can support prevention treatment of spinal pain or help detect avoid compensatory movements during the neurological rehabilitation upper extremities, which be very important to ensure their effectiveness. We describe design development Smart Rehabilitation Garment (SRG) a wearable system designed posture correction. The SRG combines number inertial measurement units (IMUs), controlled by an Arduino processor. It provides feedback with vibration...
To evaluate arm-hand therapies for neurological patients it is important to be able assess actual performance objectively. Because instruments that measure the quality and quantity of specific activities in daily life are lacking, a new needs developed. The aims this study a) elucidate techniques used identify upper extremity activities, b) provide proof-of-principle method using set tested healthy adult stroke patient, c) an example method’s applicability based on readings taken from adult....
Purpose This study aims to assess the extent which accelerometers can be used determine effect of robot-supported task-oriented arm-hand training, relative training alone, on actual amount use chronic stroke patients in their home situation. Methods single-blind randomized controlled trial included 16 patients, randomly allocated using blocked randomization (n = 2) receive or (unsupported) training. Training lasted 8 weeks, 4 times/week, 2×30 min/day (T-)TOAT...
Purpose. An increasing demand for training after stroke has brought about the need to develop rehabilitation technology. This article reports an inquiry into skill preferences of persons regarding arm–hand and examines relationship between use affected arm patient's preference.
