The needs of individuals with upper limb amputation and congenital limb difference are not being fully met by current prostheses, as evidenced by prosthesis rejection, non-wear, and user reports of pain and challenging activities. Emerging technologies such as dexterous sensorized robotic limbs, osseointegrated prostheses, implantable EMG electrodes, and electrical stimulation for sensory feedback...
Pelvic fracture is divided into A, B, C three types according to the Tile type, which is one of the commonly used classification methods of pelvic fracture. X ray, computed tomography (CT) and other auxiliary diagnostic equipment can accurately classify the fracture type, but also lead to time waste. Under the Bayesian method guidance, this paper collects the patients' data and selects 18 surface...
Gesture recognition for healthcare aiding independent living of young and elderly individuals has been a focused area of research. The purpose of this work is to identify 14 distinct gestures of individuals using similarity matching algorithm. The scope of this proposed work covers occupational hazards arising from prolonged sitting in a particular posture in employees of various companies. Gesture...
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the shoulder joint arthroplasty in the Czech Republic. Cost-effectiveness of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty for traumatic three to four fragment luxation fractures of proximal part of humerus were assessed. For this diagnosis, both interventions can be used depending on the extent of the joint damage and regarding...
A study was conducted among healthcare workers performing manual handling tasks at a private medical center (PMC) in Selangor to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). A total of 103 workers of the PMC were selected through simple random sampling which comprise of 32 respondents for administrative group and another 71 respondents for operative group of Malaysian citizen, not...
Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical outcomes of Acupoints of Neiguan (PC6) combined with medius haemospasia in neck type cervical spondylosis (type of qistagnation and blood stasis) treatment. Method: 60 inclusive patients were randomly divided into two groups with ratio 1:1, observation group was given Acupoints of Neiguan (PC6) combined with medius haemospasia, control group...
In this study, we designed a robot with six degrees of freedom (six-DOF robot) to treat patients with glenohumeral joint (GHJ) disease by using data obtained from a strength sensor and the degree of displacement of the humerus. From a safety perspective, Grade III joint mobilization is conducted to realize a system design capable of being applied for observation and rehabilitation of patients with...
This work presents a study on the physiotherapeutic treatment of shoulder and elbow pain due to tendinopathy. Three experimental protocols have been used: transcutaneous electrostimulation (TENS), therapheutic ultrasound (US) and cryotherapy. Twelve volunteers (2 men and 10 women; 57.25 ± 12.04 years old) participated in the study, which had ten therapeutic sessions. The volunteers were allocated...
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, which reportedly affects 2â5 percent of the general population, is a shoulder condition characterized by painful and limited active and passive range of motion. The main treatment involves applying proper shoulder exercises and joint mobilization to break up adhesions at the joint capsules and improve joint mobility and functions. However, due to a lack of...
Objective: To observe the clinical therapeutic efficacy and safety of Bo's abdominal acupuncture combined with rehabilitation exercise in treating shoulder pain after stroke. Methods: seventy patients with shoulder pain after stroke were equally randomized into treatment group and control group. The treatment group was given Bo's abdominal acupuncture and rehabilitation exercise, while the control...
Approximately 70% of individuals with spinal injury eventually develop shoulder pain. A home exercise program can reduce this pain. Virtual reality gaming (VRG) may enhance motivation for exercise. This study aimed to determine if performance of shoulder exercises integrated into VRG results in similar muscle activation as non-VRG exercise. Five volunteers with paraplegia performed shoulder exercises...
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) may be able to augment functional arm and hand movement after stroke. However, neuroprostheses that combine voluntary effort and FES must take into account the co-contraction patterns (synergies) that are common across multiple joints. The goal of this study is to determine the principles under which voluntary effort and FES can be combined to achieve useful...
In the past decades of years the systematic research on pain mechanisms has been the focus of scientists. The traditional Chinese medicine such as acupuncture has shown great potential in pain relief. Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) has been used and bicoherence of EEG has been extracted and used as evaluation criterion of pain relief in the research. In this study 12 volunteers...
