A Virtual Reality Force Control Training System on Brain Activation: Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Study

A Virtual Reality Force Control Training System on Brain Activation: Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Study

The Amadeo device is an interactive robotic device for hand function assessment, range of motion exercises, and force control rehabilitation. The Tipr, on the other hand, is a tabletop device specifically designed for older adult individuals and patients with mild cognitive impairment to engage in game-based interventions, using the forces from each finger as input. Trials for both devices show effectiveness in improving cognition, fine motor skills, and manual dexterity in users [8-11].

Web-Based Nursing Intervention to Promote Physical Activity Among Older Adults After Coronary Revascularization: Protocol for Mixed Method Pilot Study

Web-Based Nursing Intervention to Promote Physical Activity Among Older Adults After Coronary Revascularization: Protocol for Mixed Method Pilot Study

The kinesiologist’s role was to validate the examples of suggested exercises for participants, ensuring they were safe in relation to CHD. The nurse ensured that the content was in line with clinical guidelines for older adults living with CHD.

Patients’ Expectations for App-Based Therapy in Knee Osteoarthritis: User-Centered Design Approach

Patients’ Expectations for App-Based Therapy in Knee Osteoarthritis: User-Centered Design Approach

Similarly, the data indicated that highly motivated patients emphasized the availability of videos with different exercises for knee strengthening. These patients rated the importance of exercise videos significantly higher than those with lower motivation levels (F9=2.788; P=.01). This suggests that motivated patients are more likely to engage with an app that provides clear, visual guidance through exercise videos, enhancing their ability to perform exercises correctly and consistently.

Home-Based Nonimmersive Virtual Reality Training After Discharge From Inpatient or Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: Parallel  Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Home-Based Nonimmersive Virtual Reality Training After Discharge From Inpatient or Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: Parallel Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Home-based care (eg, doing a prescribed number of isolated exercises every day, intended to improve muscle strength, coordination, balance, and gait [7]) does not lead to worse outcomes compared to institution-based care [8]. Despite its importance, home-based exercise can be dull, and patients tend to reduce their adherence over time [7].

A Tablet-Based Technology for Objective Exercise Monitoring in Vestibular Rehabilitation: Mixed Methods Study

A Tablet-Based Technology for Objective Exercise Monitoring in Vestibular Rehabilitation: Mixed Methods Study

Completion of gaze stabilization, or vestibulo-ocular reflex, exercises, such as vestibulo-ocular reflex × 1 (VORx1), have been shown to improve vestibulo-ocular reflex gain and reduce dizziness [1-3]. Prescription of gaze stabilization exercises has also been linked to decreased risk of falls [4].

A Voice-Activated Device Exercise and Social Engagement Program for Older Adult–Care Partner Dyads: Pilot Clinical Trial and Focus Group Study Evaluating the Feasibility, Use, and Estimated Functional Impact of EngAGE

Great job doing your exercises! Can’t wait to see you this weekend!”). Following this communication, Eng AGE delivers exercise routines that alternate daily. The exercises were selected from the NIA Go4 Life program [10] and were designed to be carried out with equipment found in the home (Table S1 in Multimedia Appendix 1). The subset of exercises was selected in consultation with a physical therapist who specializes in aging; they target critical, major muscle groups needed for daily functioning.

Preliminary Assessment of an Ambulatory Device Dedicated to Upper Airway Muscle Training in Patients With Sleep Apnea: Proof-of-Concept Study

Preliminary Assessment of an Ambulatory Device Dedicated to Upper Airway Muscle Training in Patients With Sleep Apnea: Proof-of-Concept Study

Myofunctional therapy is a noninvasive approach in which patients are tasked with exercises of the lips, tongue, or both to target oropharyngeal functions [16]. It has been observed that myofunctional therapy may decrease the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) by 50% in adults and by 62% in children [16]. For myofunctional therapy to be effective, the patient must perform the exercises daily.
