Bioengineering for Functional Assessment and Rehabilitation of the Respiratory System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bioengineering of the respiratory system is the main focus of the activities of two labs (Lares, Laboratorio di Analisi della Respirazione and TechRes, Techological Respiratory Lab) at the TBMLab of the Politecnico di Milano. The main mission of these two integrated labs is to create innovation in the field of respiratory medicine, throughout the development of new methods for analysis, functional evaluation and treatment of the respiratory diseases and to generate new knowledge in the physiology and pathophysiology of the respiratory system. Among the numerous methods and techniques developed up to now by Lares and Techres, in particular Opto-Electronic Plethysmography (OEP) and Forced Oscillations Technique (FOT) led to important results regarding physiology and pathophysiology of the respiratory system, functional assessment for the evaluation and optimization of rehabilitative, pharmacological and mechanical ventilation treatment.

متن کاملThe comparison of two physiotherapeutic approaches for gait improvement in sub-acute stroke patients.
The functional gait problems encountered by stroke patients include impaired balance, abnormal gait pattern with marked asymmetry, pathological trunk and spinal motion. Many different methods of physiotherapy are used to improve functional ability (especially gait) in stroke patients, but their efficacy and outcome are often not objectively assessed. The goal of this paper is to compare two the...
