Balance Training in Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention, 2015
Balance impairment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with a worsening of quality of life (QOL) as related with fatigue perception, depression, and anxiety. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of balance training included in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on QOL, fatigue perception, depression, and anxiety in ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

[Rehabilitation of balance disorders for elderly].

La Revue du praticien, 2011
The problems encountered by elderly in balancing themselves, possibly causing instability, perception troubles, and even falls, are the consequence of physiopathological causes. Their comprehension by the way of a thorough clinical survey gives a lead to the rehabilitation based on precise objectives.
