A review of emerging access technologies for individuals with severe motor impairments.
Research and development in the field of access technologies for individuals with severe motor impairments has accelerated over the past 10 years. Many emergent alternatives to conventional mechanical switches, such as infrared sensing, electromyography, oculography, and computer vision, have been investigated for those retaining some limited volitional motor ability. At the same time, electroe...
متن کاملMotor Activity Log-Brazil: reliability and relationships with motor impairments in individuals with chronic stroke.
UNLABELLED The Motor Activity Log (MAL) assesses the spontaneous use of the most affected upper limb with the amount of use (AOU) and quality of movement (QOM) scales during daily activities in real environments in individuals with chronic stroke. OBJECTIVES This study translated the testing manual into Portuguese and assessed the inter-rater and test-retest reliabilities of the MAL, based up...
متن کاملPeripheral Autonomic Signals as Access Pathways for Individuals with Severe Disabilities: A Literature Appraisal
Many individuals with severe and multiple disabilities do not have an access pathway that enables them to interface with their environment because they are not afforded a binary switch that they can reliably control. While recent research has focused on the self-regulation of central signals of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) to create braincomputer interfaces (BCIs) for these individuals, t...
متن کاملAn Excursus on Infrared Thermography Imaging
This work represents an overview of some of the applications of infrared thermography that have been carried out at the University of Naples Federico II over the years. The focus is on four topics: thermo-fluid-dynamics, materials inspection, cultural heritage and preventative maintenance. For each topic, some results are presented as thermal, and/or phase, images with the attention being essen...
متن کاملDouble Pulse Infrared Thermography
0. Abstract In this paper we propose a simple enhancing protocol for pulsed infrared thermography. The method is based on stimulating the specimen with two heating pulses separated by a short time interval delta. This approach was tested on several specimens of low and high thermal diffusivity and showed to provide higher thermal contrasts when an optimum interval delta is chosen. The observed ...
