Protein Turnover, Nitrogen Balance and Rehabilitation

1983
Not many studies have been done on protein turnover during recovery from malnutrition. Some relevant information can, however, be obtained from measurements on normal growing animals, since rehabilitation and normal growth have in common a rapid rate of net protein synthesis.

Outcomes after rehabilitation for adults with balance dysfunction

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2004
To assess balance, dynamic gait, and dynamic visual acuity outcomes after a vestibular and balance rehabilitation program and to determine which variables were significantly associated with improved balance and ambulation.Retrospective case series.Outpatient setting at a tertiary care facility.Twenty patients who were seen for vestibular and balance ...

Gravity balancing rehabilitative robot for the human legs

The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005
People with severe muscle weakness from neurological injury, such as hemiparesis from stroke, often have substantial limitations. The focus of rehabilitation after stroke is often on walking function, however, equipment available to facilitate walking function is severely limited.

A gravity balancing leg orthosis for robotic rehabilitation

IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004
A number of methods can be found in the literature to gravity balance a machine. In this paper we use hybrid method to achieve gravity balancing. Hybrid method employs a mechanism to locate center of mass of the robot in conjunction with springs. This method is used to develop a rehabilitation device, which compensates the effect of gravity on a human ...

A personalized balance measurement for home-based rehabilitation

2015 7th International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering (NER), 2015
Accurate and real time balance estimation can be used to improve home based rehabilitation systems. We developed a personalized balance measurement, making use of the subject-specific center of mass (CoM) estimate offered by the statically equivalent serial chain (SESC) method and the zero rate of change of angular momentum (ZRAM) concept to evaluate ...

Pregait balance rehabilitation in acute stroke patients

International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 2013
Rehabilitation interventions designed to enhance balance control in individuals with acute stroke are quite limited. The goal was to develop and assess a technique of early pregait balance training involving the use of a combination of force platform visual feedback and the unweighting system in individuals with recent stroke. A total of 28 individuals

iPod for Home Balance Rehabilitation Exercise Monitoring

2012 16th International Symposium on Wearable Computers, 2012
When people fall and experience problems of balance, physical therapists (PTs) often prescribe home balance exercises involving repetitive head movements. Currently, patients' compliance and performance of these home exercises are invisible to PTs, who need the data to make informed decisions for treatment adjustments.

Balance Rehabilitation

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 2013
Background: Individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy frequently experience concomitant impaired proprioception and postural instability. Conventional exercise training has been demonstrated to be effective in improving balance but does not incorporate visual feedback targeting joint perception, which is ...

Rehabilitation Therapy for Patients with Disequilibrium and Balance Disorders

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1992
Vestibular rehabilitation is based on the use of adaptive and compensatory mechanisms already existing in the human brain. Research using animals provides a great deal of information on the neural mechanisms responsible for these functions and suggests strategies that should be helpful in rehabilitation of patients with disequilibrium and balance ...

The Role of Vestibular Rehabilitation in the Balance Disorder Patient

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2009
The focus of this article is on the role of vestibular rehabilitation in the remediation of postural and gaze instability in individuals with peripheral vestibular deficits. Although vestibular rehabilitation does not cure the organic disease that produces the balance disorder, it improves mobility, prevents falls, and overall has a positive impact on ...
