What Types of Memory Impairments are There in Children?
Discussion Memory is an important part of what distinguishes higher order species from others. Memory also is part of one’s self-identity. Difficulties in short-term memory can make common, everyday tasks difficult for the person experiencing the problem particularly if it recently occurred and the person’s long-term memory is intact. Difficulties with long-term memory can also have problems when language, events or even one’s own identity are affected. For some people the memory loss is temporary but for others, memory impairments are permanent and must be accepted and accommodated as part of the overall...

Aphasia-accessible Spatial Neglect Care
To learn whether the Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS) via the Kessler Foundation Neglect Assessment Process, and prism adaptation therapy (PAT; Barrett and Houston, 2019) provided aphasia-accessible spatial neglect care, in a left-handed, Cambodian-speaking stroke survivor (55 years) with right spatial neglect and global aphasia. Right-sided spatial neglect affects up to 50% of left brain stroke survivors, however many are never diagnosed or treated. A therapist can encounter great difficulty instructing people with communication disability (aphasia) during neglect assessment and treatment.

Exoskeleton-Assisted Anthropomorphic Movement Training (EAMT) for Poststroke Upper Limb Rehabilitation: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Stroke is the leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, and it places a substantial burden on health care services and the socioeconomic system.1 More than two-thirds of individuals with stroke have upper extremity motor impairment and functional deficits at hospital admission,2,3 manifesting as muscle weakness, loss of coordination, and abnormal synergies.4 Moreover, upper limb dysfunction leads to long-term limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and social participation.5 Extensive studies have reported that participants can benefit from high-intensity, task-specific training programs based on motor-l...

CNN-Based Prognosis of BCI Rehabilitation Using EEG From First Session BCI Training
Stroke is a world-leading disease for causing disability. Brain-computer interaction (BCI) training has been proved to be a promising method in facilitating motor recovery. However, due to differences in each patient’s neural-clinical profile, the potential of recovery for different patients can vary significantly by conducting BCI training, which remains a major problem in clinical rehabilitation practice. To address this issue, the objective of this study is to prognosticate the outcome of BCI training using motor state electroencephalographic (EEG) collected during the first session of BCI tasks, with the aim of ...

Recent highlights in periopeative neurological disorders, from bench to bedside
CNS Neurosci Ther. 2022 Feb 11. doi: 10.1111/cns.13771. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPerioperative neurological disorders are important causes of postoperative disability and even perioperative death, bringing a huge challenge to the vulnerable and increasing aging population. Perioperative neurological disorders usually contain ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, and neurocognitive disorders during the perioperative period. Although a few prevention and treatment strategies have been developed for each disorder, there is still a lack of effective treatments and the underlying mechanisms are far from well-understood. Thi...

Application of the extended technology acceptance model to explore clinician likelihood to use robotics in rehabilitation
CONCLUSION: This study found that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of a robotic device in clinical rehabilitation can be improved through experience, training and embedded technological support. However, training and embedded support are not routinely offered, suggesting there is a discordance between current implementation and the learning needs of rehabilitation clinicians.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPatients do not receive adequate amounts of upper limb motor practice following a stroke, and although robotic devices have the potential to address this gap, clinical adoption is low.The technology acceptan...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 1289: Time-Based and Path-Based Analysis of Upper-Limb Movements during Activities of Daily Living
Mihelj Patients after stroke need to re-learn functional movements required for independent living throughout the rehabilitation process. In the study, we used a wearable sensory system for monitoring the movement of the upper limbs while performing activities of daily living. We implemented time-based and path-based segmentation of movement trajectories and muscle activity to quantify the activities of the unaffected and the affected upper limbs. While time-based segmentation splits the trajectory in quants of equal duration, path-based segmentation isolates completed movements. We analyzed the hand movement path and ...

Rehabilomics: A state-of-the-art review of framework, application, and future considerations
Rehabilomics is an important research framework that allows omics research built upon rehabilitation practice, especially in function evaluation, outcome prediction, and individualized rehabilitation. In the field of rehabilomics, biomarkers can serve as objectively measured indicators for body functioning, so as to complement the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) assessment. Studies on traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, and Parkinson's disease have shown that biomarkers (such as serum markers, MRI, and digital signals derived from sensors) are correlated with diagnosis, disease s...

Deep convolution neural network for screening carotid calcification in dental panoramic radiographs
PLOS Digit Health. 2023 Apr 12;2(4):e0000081. doi: 10.1371/journal.pdig.0000081. eCollection 2023 Apr.ABSTRACTIschemic stroke, a leading global cause of death and disability, is commonly caused by carotid arteries atherosclerosis. Carotid artery calcification (CAC) is a well-known marker of atherosclerosis. Such calcifications are classically detected by ultrasound screening. In recent years it was shown that these calcifications can also be inferred from routine panoramic dental radiographs. In this work, we focused on panoramic dental radiographs taken from 500 patients, manually labelling each of the patients' sides (ea...

Trends in mental health inequalities for people with disability, Australia 2003 to 2020
CONCLUSION: This paper confirms that people with disability experience worse mental health than people without disability. We add to previous findings by demonstrating that disability-related inequalities in mental health have been sustained for a long period and are worsening in some subpopulations.PMID:37606227 | DOI:10.1177/00048674231193881
