The survey focused on understanding the patients' needs and wants as well as their outlook towards physical therapy. Methodology: 31 stroke patients with hemiparesis participated in the study with the informed consent. It consisted of a questionnaire based survey that explored the patient's ...
physical therapy modalitiesbalance boardBackground : A primary objective in stroke rehabilitation is to restore functional balance, in order to reduce falls. Objectives : To identify the efficacy and safety of wobble board exercises when combined with conventional physiotherapy, in improving balance in ...
A set of physical rehab exercises is conducted through the direct engagement of an embodied agent, the uBot-5. Based on the preliminary data, we argue that a general-purpose embodied agent has a potential to functionally complement human therapists in providing rehab to stroke patients....
we believe one setting may be more effective than the other setting, however both groups will receive the same rehabilitation and physical therapy. The study is “double blinded” – so neither the assessor nor the patient will know which group they are in (only the person setting the device...
If the sequelae from a stroke include orofacial paralysis, the patient may be left with a facial asymrnetry that precludes effortless impartation of subtle notions. Orofacial muscles affected by the stroke are susceptible to increased tone due to abnormal postural tone in other parts of the body...
The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association recommend setting a goal for your client to eventually participate in the daily physical activity.3 In the beginning, it might be as little as 10 minutes a few times a week, but as the patient becomes more confident and builds stren...

Autonomous and semi-autonomous robots have been increasingly proposed as social and therapy assistants for neurorehabilitation after traumatic and non-traumatic brain injury. Unfortunately, current robot-patient interactions do not accurately model therapist-patient interactions in task-oriented stroke rehabilitat...
84 Physical activity interventions including home-based exercises, group exercise programs, strength and balance exercises, and Tai Chi have been shown to significantly reduce the incidence of falls (incidence rate ratio = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.52 to 0.95) compared to the usual care in individuals ...
