Effectiveness of Robot-Assisted Upper Extremity Function Training (Gloreha) on Upper Extremities Function After Stroke: Systematic Review

Effectiveness of Robot-Assisted Upper Extremity Function Training (Gloreha) on Upper Extremities Function After Stroke: Systematic Review

In recent years, robot-assisted therapy (RAT) has emerged as an innovative technology to augment conventional rehabilitation [15]. RAT offers high-repetition or high-intensity practice, which may induce neuroplasticity in patients with stroke [16]. Recent evidence suggests RAT is more effective than traditional therapy approaches for stroke rehabilitation [17].

Factors Related to Pain and Disability Outcomes After an Internet-Delivered or Physiotherapist-Led Exercise Program for Individuals With Chronic Whiplash Symptoms: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Study

Factors Related to Pain and Disability Outcomes After an Internet-Delivered or Physiotherapist-Led Exercise Program for Individuals With Chronic Whiplash Symptoms: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Study

However, that study did not investigate factors related to improvements after rehabilitation. In studies where interventions included acceptance and commitment therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy, psychological factors had a mediating or predictive effect on pain and/or disability outcome for individuals with chronic WAD [12,13].

Experience of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease Surgery Patients: Sentiment Analysis Using the Korean Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (KoBERT) Model

Experience of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease Surgery Patients: Sentiment Analysis Using the Korean Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (KoBERT) Model

For patients with cerebrovascular disease, the highlighted keywords were mother, caregiver, transfer, ambulance (care resources), rehabilitation, and postcare (care demand). This indicated a high demand for postsurgery or postdischarge rehabilitation and related transfers. In contrast, for patients with cardiovascular diseases, the keywords were insurance and cost (care resources) and medication and workout (care demand), indicating a high demand for cost-related items.

Exploring Compassionate Care in Virtual Rehabilitation: Qualitative Study

Exploring Compassionate Care in Virtual Rehabilitation: Qualitative Study

In the rehabilitation setting, compassion is important for person-centered, empathetic care [18]. Although the importance of compassion in a rehabilitation setting is well recognized, there is very limited information on how compassion is communicated when the process is virtual.

Validation of Gait Kinematics With Ramp and Stair Ascent and Descent Revealed by Markerless Motion Capture in Simulated Living Space: Test-Retest Reliability Study

Validation of Gait Kinematics With Ramp and Stair Ascent and Descent Revealed by Markerless Motion Capture in Simulated Living Space: Test-Retest Reliability Study

A detailed analysis of this kind is essential for optimizing rehabilitation and robot-assisted interventions as it allows strategies to be developed that are tailored to individual movement patterns and pathological conditions. To gain further insight into gait mechanics, data from 3 D motion capture systems that provide joint angles have been used.

Wearable Devices in Remote Cardiac Rehabilitation With and Without Weekly Online Coaching for Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial

Wearable Devices in Remote Cardiac Rehabilitation With and Without Weekly Online Coaching for Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is beneficial not only in the aftermath of acute myocardial infarction but also in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention for prior myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stable angina, and coronary artery bypass graft surgery [1-3].

Effects of a Computer Vision–Based Exercise Application for People With Knee Osteoarthritis: Randomized Controlled Trial

Effects of a Computer Vision–Based Exercise Application for People With Knee Osteoarthritis: Randomized Controlled Trial

Previous reviews have highlighted that one of the primary objectives of CV-based applications is to calculate joint angles, enabling the identification and counting of correct postures during rehabilitation training. In addition, accurately assessing whether exercises are performed correctly is another critical goal, ensuring that the movement sequence aligns with rehabilitation standards [26,27].

Effect of Early Treatment of Spasticity After Stroke on Motor Recovery: Protocol for the Baclotox Multicenter, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy Randomized Controlled Trial

Effect of Early Treatment of Spasticity After Stroke on Motor Recovery: Protocol for the Baclotox Multicenter, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy Randomized Controlled Trial

Early subacute poststroke rehabilitation, which occurs during the period between 7 and 90 days post stroke, focuses on promoting motor recovery and reducing activity limitations, often through intensive rehabilitation and, where appropriate, pharmacological intervention. This phase is considered a critical window for neuroplasticity and motor recovery [4].

Integrating a Mobile App to Enhance Atrial Fibrillation Care: Key Insights From an Implementation Study Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research

Integrating a Mobile App to Enhance Atrial Fibrillation Care: Key Insights From an Implementation Study Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research

*Not a part of routine data collection; #Full completion of the cardiac rehabilitation care plan is defined as either completing the 12-week scheduled plan or satisfying the specialist’s criteria for completion. Participants included eligible patients who had been offered the app after catheter ablation, regardless of whether they used it, and clinical staff at the clinic involved in implementing the app.

Gamification in mHealth Apps for Rehabilitation: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Physical rehabilitation interventions following injury or impairment can improve the quality of life through movement-based care [1]. Physical therapists are trained to deliver interventions that treat a multitude of health conditions, including musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiopulmonary, cancer, metabolic, and pain issues. The impact of physical therapy can extend beyond the individual to the societal level, especially when the rehabilitation is comprehensive [2].
