Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 7906: Quantitative Comparison of Hand Kinematics Measured with a Markerless Commercial Head-Mounted Display and a Marker-Based Motion Capture System in Stroke Survivors
Sofia Straudi Upper-limb paresis is common after stroke. An important tool to assess motor recovery is to use marker-based motion capture systems to measure the kinematic characteristics of patients’ movements in ecological scenarios. These systems are, however, very expensive and not readily available for many rehabilitation units. Here, we explored whether the markerless hand motion capabilities of the cost-effective Oculus Quest head-mounted display could be used to provide clinically meaningful measures. A total of 14 stroke patients executed ecologically relevant upper-limb tasks in an immersive vi...

Variable selection and prediction using a nested, matched case‐control study: Application to hospital acquired pneumonia in stroke patients
Summary Matched case‐control designs are commonly used in epidemiologic studies for increased efficiency. These designs have recently been introduced to the setting of modern imaging and genomic studies, which are characterized by high‐dimensional covariates. However, appropriate statistical analyses that adjust for the matching have not been widely adopted. A matched case‐control study of 430 acute ischemic stroke patients was conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in order to identify specific brain regions of acute infarction that are associated with hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) in these patients. ...

Joint model of multiple longitudinal measures and a binary outcome: An application to predict orthostatic hypertension for subacute stroke patients
Stroke patients with orthostatic hypertensive responses that are one of the blood pressure regulation problems can easily fall down while doing rehabilitation, which may result in prolonged hospitalization and delayed treatment and recovery. This may result in increasing the medical cost and burden. In turn, developing a diagnostic test for the orthostatic hypertension (OH) is clinically important for patients who are suffering from stroke. Clinically, a patient needs to have a tilt testing that requires measuring the change of blood pressures and heart rate at all angles to determine whether a stroke patient has OH. It ta...

Generation of Control Moments in an Insect-like Tailless Flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicle by Changing the Stroke-plane Angle
Publication date: July 2016 Source:Journal of Bionic Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 3 Author(s): Hoang Vu Phan, Hoon Cheol Park We propose a control moment generator to control the attitude of an insect-like tailless Flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicle (FW-MAV), where the flapping wings simultaneously produce the flight force and control moments. The generator tilts the stroke plane of each wing independently to direct the resultant aerodynamic force in the desired direction to ultimately generate pitch and yaw moments. A roll moment is produced by an additional mechanism that shifts the trailing edge, which changes the win...

Challenging the Great Vascular Wall: can we envision a simple yet comprehensive therapy for stroke?
Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of death in adult life, closely behind ischemic heart disease, and causes a significant and abiding socioeconomic burden. However, current therapies are not able to ensure full neurologic and/or sequelae‐free recovery to all stroke survivors. We believe treatment efficacy and patient rehabilitation could be enhanced significantly by targeting blood‐brain barrier (BBB) deregulation and inflammation‐induced barrier loss occurring after stroke. In this pathological context, bone marrow‐derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) enter the bloodstream towards the lesion site but their ...

Sensors, Vol. 17, Pages 755: The Combination of Micro Diaphragm Pumps and Flow Sensors for Single Stroke Based Liquid Flow Control
With the combination of micropumps and flow sensors, highly accurate and secure closed-loop controlled micro dosing systems for liquids are possible. Implementing a single stroke based control mode with piezoelectrically driven micro diaphragm pumps can provide a solution for dosing of volumes down to nanoliters or variable average flow rates in the range of nL/min to μL/min. However, sensor technologies feature a yet undetermined accuracy for measuring highly pulsatile micropump flow. Two miniaturizable in-line sensor types providing electrical readout—differential pressure based flow sensors and thermal calorimetric f...

Sensors, Vol. 19, Pages 1224: Low-Cost Tracking Systems Allow Fine Biomechanical Evaluation of Upper-Limb Daily-Life Gestures in Healthy People and Post-Stroke Patients
satti Since the release of the first Kinect in 2011, low-cost technologies for upper-limb evaluation has been employed frequently for rehabilitation purposes. However, a limited number of studies have assessed the potential of the Kinect V2 for motor evaluations. In this paper, a simple biomechanical protocol has been developed, in order to assess the performances of healthy people and patients, during daily-life reaching movements, with focus on some of the patients’ common compensatory strategies. The assessment considers shoulder range of motion, elbow range of motion, trunk compensatory strategies, an...

Longer shifts linked to increased stroke risk
Putting in more time at work might benefit your career but could leave you at greater risk of a stroke. A study published in the American Heart Association’s journal Stroke determined long working hours — classified as more than 10 hours daily at least 50 days out of the year — for a decade or more had a stronger link to stroke. No differences were noted between women and men, but white col lar workers under 50 saw a strong association to stroke. The Washington Post reports employees working…
