Poststroke eHealth Technologies–Based Rehabilitation for Upper Limb Recovery: Systematic Review

Poststroke eHealth Technologies–Based Rehabilitation for Upper Limb Recovery: Systematic Review

The aim is to describe the quality, summarize and compare the conclusions, and discuss the strengths and weaknesses in the effectiveness of low-cost e Health technology–based rehabilitation for the recovery of the upper limb in poststroke individuals. While numerous systematic reviews have examined various aspects of technology-based rehabilitation for poststroke upper limb recovery, there is a lack of comprehensive synthesis of these findings. This gap presents several challenges.

Examining the Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Efficacy of an Immersive Virtual Reality–Assisted Lower Limb Strength Training for Knee Osteoarthritis: Mixed Methods Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Examining the Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Efficacy of an Immersive Virtual Reality–Assisted Lower Limb Strength Training for Knee Osteoarthritis: Mixed Methods Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aimed to pilot-test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an immersive VR-assisted lower limb strength training for knee osteoarthritis (VRi Knee) through a mixed methods approach. We hypothesized that VRi Knee was feasible as a home-based exercise for knee osteoarthritis.

Comprehensive Assessment and Early Prediction of Gross Motor Performance in Toddlers With Graph Convolutional Networks–Based Deep Learning: Development and Validation Study

Comprehensive Assessment and Early Prediction of Gross Motor Performance in Toddlers With Graph Convolutional Networks–Based Deep Learning: Development and Validation Study

Liu et al [22] proposed a method to evaluate the initial gross motor skills of children with autism with an average age of 5 years using velocities, trajectories, and angles of upper and lower limb joints based on skeleton data extracted through Open Pose.

Effects of a Virtual Reality Cycling Platform on Lower Limb Rehabilitation in Patients With Ataxia and Hemiparesis: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Effects of a Virtual Reality Cycling Platform on Lower Limb Rehabilitation in Patients With Ataxia and Hemiparesis: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Because pedaling and walking are cyclical locomotor tasks that require the lower limb to alternate between flexion and extension [11,12], both share similar locomotor patterns of alternating muscle activation of antagonists [10,13]. Thus, cycling exercises are found to be useful for strengthening the lower limb muscles while acting as a pseudowalking task-oriented exercise. Some studies eluded that those biomechanical functions may be altered by the muscle groups involved in the pedaling tasks [14-16].

Movement Component Analysis of Reaching Strategies in Individuals With Stroke: Preliminary Study

Movement Component Analysis of Reaching Strategies in Individuals With Stroke: Preliminary Study

Upper limb motor paresis due to a stroke may impose limitations on patients’ activities of daily living and quality of life [1-3]; the improvement of these conditions is an important goal of stroke rehabilitation. Therefore, periodic, accurate assessment of upper limb movement function during the course of treatment is fundamental to ensure effective upper limb retraining.

Examining Usability, Acceptability, and Adoption of a Self-Directed, Technology-Based Intervention for Upper Limb Rehabilitation After Stroke: Cohort Study

Examining Usability, Acceptability, and Adoption of a Self-Directed, Technology-Based Intervention for Upper Limb Rehabilitation After Stroke: Cohort Study

Rehabilitation dose in conventional clinical practice is insufficient for meaningful improvements in upper limb (UL) outcomes [6]. Increasing dose presents organizational and individual challenges [7,8]; digital technologies may offer a solution to this [9-13].

Efficacy of Naprapathy in Brachial Plexus Injury: Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial

Efficacy of Naprapathy in Brachial Plexus Injury: Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial

Sensory impairment or muscle paralysis and atrophy, which cause partial or complete upper limb motor and sensory dysfunction, may place a great burden on the patient's life and mental health [6,7]. With the development of microsurgical technology in recent decades [8], great progress has been made in the treatment of BPI, especially in terms of surgical treatments [9,10], allowing good conditions for the functional recovery of patients' limbs to be provided.

Playfully Assessing Lower Extremity Selective Voluntary Motor Control in Children With Cerebral Palsy: Psychometric Study

Playfully Assessing Lower Extremity Selective Voluntary Motor Control in Children With Cerebral Palsy: Psychometric Study

Despite the well-known importance of lower limb SVMC for motor activities, only a few tools are used to measure it [9]. According to the systematic review by Balzer et al [10], only 7 assessment tools for the selectivity of single-joint movements of the lower extremities have been tested for their psychometric properties in children with upper motor neuron lesions. The Selective Control Assessment of the Lower Extremity (SCALE) is considered to have the best properties.

Outcomes After Receipt of Neuraxial or Regional Anesthesia Instead of General Anesthesia for Lower Limb Revascularization Surgery: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Outcomes After Receipt of Neuraxial or Regional Anesthesia Instead of General Anesthesia for Lower Limb Revascularization Surgery: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Lower limb revascularization surgeries (ie, endarterectomy, patch angioplasty, and arterial bypass) are commonly performed across North America [1-4]. In the United States, at least 15,000 to 20,000 lower limb arterial bypass surgeries are performed annually, while an average of 1650 lower limb revascularization surgeries are performed per annum in Ontario (Canada’s most populous province) [1,5,6].

System Setup to Deliver Air Impact Forces to a Sheep Limb: Preparation for Model Development of Blast-Related Heterotopic Ossification

System Setup to Deliver Air Impact Forces to a Sheep Limb: Preparation for Model Development of Blast-Related Heterotopic Ossification

Symptomatic HO may delay rehabilitation regimens, as ectopic bone resection often requires modifications to prosthetic limb componentry and socket size [11,14]. The causative factors of HO development, especially in the case of blast injuries, are not well known.
