Patients requiring physical rehabilitation, such as those suffering long-term chronic disease or recovering from illness or injury are reliant upon rehabilitation programmes to recover. Tele-rehabilitation has been proposed as a promising development to remove physical barriers of locality and place rehabilitation services within the patients home. We propose an interdisciplinary research appro...

Virtual reality has been widely used in various industries, such as entertainment, communication, and healthcare, to mention a few. In the health industry, combination with brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), virtual could produce rehabilitation measures that may contribute novel strategies remote or telerehabilitation. The design development of BCIs integrate different processes, including biosi...

The purpose of this paper is to inform on findings from a mature body of research titled SoundScapes. The goal was to define, create and question sensor-based ICT systems, techniques and methods to supplement traditional rehabilitation. Following initial biofeedback/sensorimotor tests, a non-invasive (non-wearable/ gesture-based) motion-sensitive sensor system enabling human performance control...

Researchers in physical medicine and rehabilitation require access to information regarding possible interventions and programs, available services and technology, research (published, unpublished and in progress), statistics on incidence, prevalence and expected recovery, and funding sources. This paper provides an overview to the most readily available sources of information, including 16 abs...

G iven the interaction of cognitive, behavioural, psychological, and physical factors resulting from traumatic brain injury (TBI), a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and neuropsychologically oriented rehabilitation could prove to be particularly promising and efficacious in the neuropsychological rehabilitation of post-acute brain-injured individuals. Kurt Goldstein, an eminent pioneer in the ...

There is a need for robotic rehabilitation devices that increase the outcome while reducing the cost of therapy. This paper presents a device for training of supination / pronation, dorsal wrist extension and finger manipulation after stroke. The system exhibits modularity in terms of the communication architecture and different optional components. User interfaces (UI) can be implemented on di...

Effectiveness of rehabilitation process is undeniable in many musculoskeletal and joint conditions. There are increasing evidences that elecronic visits and tele-rehabalition programs are useful. When social distancing policies limit orthopedic surgeons to use hospital or clinic-based rehabilitation, developing of Home-based & Tele-rehabilitation modalities are highly recommended by Orthopedic ...

Virtual Reality or Virtual Realities (VR), which can be referred to as immersive multimedia or computer-simulated realities, replicates an environment that simulates physical presence in places in the real world or imagined worlds and lets the user interact in that world. Virtual realities artificially create sensory experiences, which can include sight, hearing, touch, and smell (concept cited...
