An Orthopaedic Robotic‐Assisted Rehabilitation Method of the Forearm in Virtual Reality Physiotherapy

Journal of Healthcare Engineering, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
The use of robotic rehabilitation in orthopaedics has been briefly explored. Despite its possible advantages, the use of computer‐assisted physiotherapy of patients with musculoskeletal injuries has received little attention. In this paper, we detailed the development and evaluation of a robotic‐assisted rehabilitation system as a new methodology of ...

A Kinect‐Based Physiotherapy and Assessment Platform for Parkinson’s Disease Patients

Journal of Medical Engineering, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
We report on a Kinect‐based, augmented reality, real‐time physiotherapy platform tailored to Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. The platform employs a Kinect sensor to extract real‐time 3D skeletal data (joint information) from a patient facing the sensor (at 30 frames per second).

Impact of Different Body Positions on Bioelectrical Activity of the Pelvic Floor Muscles in Nulliparous Continent Women

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
We examined pelvic floor muscles (PFM) activity (%MVC) in twenty nulliparous women by body position during exercise as well as the activation of abdominal muscles and the gluteus maximus during voluntary contractions of the PFMs. Pelvic floor muscle activity was recorded using a vaginal probe during five experimental trials.

Is there evidence for pelvic floor muscle relaxation training in nonneurogenic female bladder outlet obstruction?—A narrative review

Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 10-19, January 2025.
Abstract Introduction Functional bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in women is postulated to be caused by pelvic floor muscle (PFM) dyssynergia or increased tone. The aim of the present review was to investigate the effect of PFM relaxation training on PFM tone and female BOO symptoms.

Does Inhibitory Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Augment Functional Task Practice to Improve Arm Recovery in Chronic Stroke?

Stroke Research and Treatment, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Introduction. Restoration of upper extremity (UE) functional use remains a challenge for individuals following stroke. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive modality that modulates cortical excitability and is being explored as a means to potentially ameliorate these deficits. The purpose of this study was to evaluate, in
