The Haptic Bracelets: Gait rehabilitation after Stroke
نویسندگان
چکیده
Restoring mobility and rehabilitation of gait are high priorities for rehabilitation of neurological conditions. Cueing using metronomic rhythmic sensory stimulation has been shown to improve gait, but most versions of this approach have used auditory and visual cues. In contrast, we propose the development of a prototype wearable system for rhythmic cueing based on haptics. The main aim of this research is to investigate how real-time gait monitoring and rhythmic haptic cueing can assist with gait rehabilitation for neurological

A gait rehabilitation pilot study using tactile cueing following hemiparetic stroke
Recovery of walking function is a major goal of post-stroke rehabilitation. Audio metronomic cueing has been shown to improve gait, but can be impractical and inconvenient to use in a community setting, for example outdoors where awareness of traffic is needed, as well as being unsuitable in environments with high background noise, or for those with a hearing impairment. Silent lightweight port...

متن کاملQuestioning classic patient classification techniques in gait rehabilitation: insights from wearable haptic technology
Classifying stroke survivors based on their walking abilities is an important part of the gait rehabilitation process. It can act as powerful indicator of function and prognosis in both the early days after a stroke and long after a survivor receives rehabilitation. This classification often relies solely on walking speed; a quick and easy measure, with only a stopwatch needed. However, walking...
متن کاملTwo kinds of entrainment in gait rehabilitation using haptic metronomic cues
There are currently over 1.2 million stroke survivors in the UK, and with more than 100,000 new incidents each year, stroke is a leading cause of adult disability [1]. Almost three quarters of stroke survivors suffer from gait deficiencies [2]. In the case of hemiparetic stroke and related brain injuries, gait deficiencies typically take the form of bilateral spatial and temporal asymmetries. T...
