It is the same situation regarding other new tecnologies (NT) such as assistive technologies, telerehabilitation, virtual reality and brain stimulation techniques. There is a great need of more specific studies concerning the effective interaction between RT and humans. The aim is to better define both interaction with humans facing impairment and consequences on the activity of professionals, ...

In this paper we present a telerehabilitation system aiming to help physiotherapists on the shoulder and elbow treatment. Our system is based on a two-arm haptic force feedback to avoid excessive efforts and discomfort with the spinal column and is remotely controlled by smart phone. The validation of our system, with the help of muscular effort measurements (EMG) and supervised by a physiother...

Distance monitoring of rehabilitation exercises has been primarily conducted using two-way video conferencing. This paper presents a real-time web-based monitoring system that greatly enhances the capability of the clinician to direct rehabilitation therapies.

Remote therapy frameworks play the main role in home-based telerehabilitation. These remote therapies are exergames that help physical and cognitive rehabilitation of patient. The objective this review is to present using identify points can be improved development future systems. To carry out research, criteria PRISMA were adopted. Literature searches conducted up April 2021 Web Sicence, Pubme...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the satisfaction of patients and physiotherapists toward technology used during in-home teletreatment following discharge from an acute care hospital after a stroke. The teletreatment that was delivered to the patients consisted of 45-minute sessions of exercises inspired from Tai Chi movements, twice a week, over a period of 8 weeks. The health care...

1b-i) Key features/functionalities/components of the intervention and comparator in the METHODS section of the ABSTRACT The paper does not explicitly mention subitem 1b-i. However, the design and development of the webservice and/or email/SMS service was based on the behavioural theory of Prochaska and DiClemente. In this model the feedback to the patient is tailored based on the patient's phas...

We examined the effect of knowledge and task specific training provided to an allied health assistant (AHA), prior to her involvement in facilitating assessments of dysphagia (swallowing disorders) via telerehabilitation. The AHA received four hours of training, which included basic theoretical information regarding dysphagia as well as hands-on training with simulated patients. A written test ...

Continuing advances in virtual reality (VR) technology along with concomitant system cost reductions have supported the development of more useful and accessible VR systems that can uniquely target a wide range of physical, psychological, and cognitive rehabilitation concerns and research questions. VR offers the potential to deliver systematic human testing, training, and treatment environment...
