Functional rehabilitation aims at recovering the locomotion dysfunction of the human body by the physical therapy. The objective of this paper was to develop interactive and connected rehabilitation systems as a system of systems for monitoring the bio-feedbacks of the human musculoskeletal system during the rehabilitation exercises. Video-based non-contact system as Kinect sensor was used to get...
Conventional functional rehabilitation costs time, money and effort for the patients and for the medical staff. Serious games have been used as a new approach to improve the performance as well as to possibly reduce medical cost in the future for cognitive rehabilitation and body balance control. The objective of this present work was to perform a feasibility study on the use of a new real-time serious...
Conventional functional rehabilitation consists of a therapeutic consultation, a motor exercise assignment, and an execution task with or without assistance of the therapist. The objective of this technical note was to present a new real-time 3D serious game system concept for musculoskeletal rehabilitation of the lower limbs.A generic development workflow of real-time 3D serious game systems for...
Knee osteoarthritis deals with the loss of cartilaginous substances. Biomaterial implant using mesenchymal stromal cells was usually used to perform cartilage regeneration. The bio-integration and biofunctionality assessments of the used biomaterial implant on the injury sites require the longitudinal monitoring of the cartilage over times. The aim of this present study was to develop a characterization...
Patient satisfaction has only recently gained attention as an outcome measure in orthopaedics, where it has been reported for joint replacement surgery. Little has been published regarding predictors of patient satisfaction in orthopaedic trauma. This study aims to explore the predictors of patient satisfaction, and of surgeon satisfaction, after orthopaedic trauma.Adult patients admitted to hospital...
There is evidence that serotonin may be implicated in the pathophysiology of myofascial pain (MFP). Because of this, we used oral sumatriptan (Imitrex, Glaxo), a peripherally acting agonist of 5-HT 1D receptors, in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled double crossover pilot study of 7 patients with episodic MFP of the temporalis muscles. The results showed that there was a...
