Tele-rehabilitation refers to the use of information and communication technologies to provide rehabilitation services to people remotely in their homes or other environments. The goal is to improve patient access to care by receiving therapy beyond the physical walls of a traditional healthcare facility, thus expanding continuity of rehabilitation care. The objectives of this paper are (1) to provide...
The objective of this study was to use an advanced VR-based system to explore the extent to which posture control mechanisms in adults can undergo experience-dependent changes when a novel balance task is acquired and retained. Eight healthy young adults practiced a novel complex task with and without a concurrent manual task within a single training session in a virtual environment (VE). The time-course...
The goal was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a quasi-home-based tele-motion-rehabilitation (TMR) program, using the Gertner System, in improving functional ability of the weak upper extremity post-stroke. Eighteen adults with stroke were randomized into two groups; a quasi-home-based TMR program and a self-training upper extremity home exercise group. No between groups differences were found...
How specific are postural and balance control skills? An important issue for the establishment of effective training and retraining (rehabilitation) programs is whether skills gained while training in laboratory settings can be transferred to performance gains in somewhat different conditions (including every-day life). While there is much evidence showing that for volitional motor tasks the gains...
The purpose of this poster is to present the development of functional and non-functional virtual environments for the investigation of dual tasking capabilities after traumatic brain injury.
Postural adjustments are essential for voluntary movement as they provide the foundation for motor performance. Yet the time-course of learning postural adjustments, the specificity of learning and the ability to effectively retain this knowledge are not well known. The objective of this research was to study the characteristics of the acquisition of postural control skills in healthy adults within...
