Understanding and treating arm movement impairment after chronic brain injury: progress with the ARM guide.
Significant potential exists for enhancing physical rehabilitation following neurologic injury through the use of robotic and mechatronic devices (or "rehabilitators"). We review the development of a rehabilitator (the "ARM Guide") to diagnose and treat arm movement impairment following stroke and other brain injuries. As a diagnostic tool, the ARM Guide provides a basis for evaluation of sever...
متن کاملGuidance-based quantification of arm impairment following brain injury: a pilot study.
This paper reports the design and preliminary testing of a device for evaluating arm impairment after brain injury. The assisted rehabilitation and measurement (ARM) Guide is capable of mechanically guiding reaching and retrieval movements across the workspace and of measuring constraint forces and range of motion during guidance. We tested the device on four hemiplegic brain-injured individual...
متن کاملCan Robots Improve Arm Movement Recovery after Chronic Brain Injury?: a Rationale for Their Use Based on Experimentally Identified Motor Impairments
Significant potential exists for robotic and mechatronic devices to deliver therapy to individuals with a movement disability following stroke, traumatic brain injury, or cerebral palsy. We performed a series of experiments in order to identify which motor impairments should be targeted by such devices, in the context of a common functional deficit – decreased active range of motion of reaching...
متن کاملEffect of Resisted Bimanual Therapy With Auditory Cues on Arm Function, Balance, and Endurance in Stroke Survivors: A Pilot Study
Objectives: Upper limb motor impairment causes limited activities of daily living in stroke survivors. Bimanual therapy is based on Bimanual movement that facilitates cortical balancing by simultaneous movement of paretic and non-paretic arms while performing a task. Studies aimed at exploring the effects of resisted Bimanual therapy with rhythmic auditory cues on arm function, balance, and end...
متن کاملThe Effect of Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy on Upper Extremity Function In a Patient Suffering From Chronic Severe Acquired Brain Injury: A Case Study
Objective: The primary objective of this case study was to investigate the effect of modified constraint-induced movement therapy on upper extremity function in a patient with severe acquired brain injury after 4 years. Material & method: A 33 years old women (F.Z), who had a severe acquired brain injury (ABI) 4 years ago participated in the present study. The right hand was the dominan...
