Abstract Muscle atrophy refers to the thinning of muscles losing their tone and strength. Knee rehabilitators are usually based on a 4-bar system due its simplicity, passive movement sought rehabilitation joints, seeking comfort in patient. This research determines critical movements correct selection mechanism, considering restrictions according rules flat mechanisms. In addition, kinematic an...

BACKGROUND A computer assisted interview, the GMHAT/PC has been developed to assist General Practitioners and other Health Professionals to make a quick, convenient and comprehensive standardised mental health assessment. It has proved to be a reliable and valid tool in our previous studies involving General Practitioners and Nurses. Little is known about its use in cardiac rehabilitation setti...

Computer games have been recognized as a motivational tool in rehabilitation for a decade. Traditional rehabilitation includes exercises which are often considered as repetitive, boring and requires supervision by the therapist. New opportunities in rehabilitation have risen with the emerging popularity of computer games and novel input sensors like 3D cameras, balance boards or accelerometers....

BACKGROUND Regaining independent ambulation is the top priority for individuals recovering from stroke. Thus, physical rehabilitation post-stroke should focus on improving walking function and endurance. However, the amount of walking completed by individuals with stroke attending rehabilitation is far below that required for independent community ambulation. There has been increased interest i...

A growing body of research shows that cognitive remediation (COG REM), consisting of drill-and-practice and/or strategy training in neurocognitive functions, produces moderate improvements in neurocognition. These improvements generalize to functioning when COG REM is provided with other rehabilitation interventions (Wykes et al., 2011). The number of studies using COG REM as an adjunct to othe...

The application of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) shows promising results in stroke rehabilitation, but the underlying neural substrates and processes of successful BCI-based neurorehabilitation remain unclear. The goal of our present work was to identify the brain areas associated with successful visuomotor integration and motor learning (VMIL), and investigate their connection with successfu...

The AHCPR Post-Stroke Rehabilitation Clinical Practice Guidelines defines aphasia as "the loss of ability to communicate orally, through signs, or in writing, or the inability to understand such communications; the loss of language usage ability." It has been reported that aphasia is one of the most common consequences of stroke in both the acute and chronic phases. Acutely, it is estimated tha...

The atraumatic exodontics right left upper lateral incisors was performed, then placement osseointegrated impla...

In this paper, we present a 3D computer vision system for physical assessment and rehabilitation based on the data collected from a depth sensor. Physical rehabilitation is a complex and long-term process that requires clinician experts and appropriate tools. Hence a system that can successfully support the rehabilitation of individuals is of great interest to all the parties in sports and heal...
