中风患者通常有残疾相关的运动损伤由于不完全的运动恢复。这样的残疾, 漫长的旅行时间到诊所, 或社会经济的困难, 可能会阻碍患者获得适当的康复治疗。无处不在的医疗保健 (u 健康) 计划可以是一个很好的选择, 以消除这些障碍。作为这种 u 型健康计划的一部分, 本研究开发了一种基于移动游戏的 VR 康复方案, 用于脑卒中后上肢的康复。我们的发现表明, 该方案是可行的, 更有效地促进上肢功?...

中风是成人神经功能障碍的最常见原因之一。中风后从损伤中恢复通常是不完整的, 大约50% 的患者留有残疾, 使他们依赖其他1。特别是上肢功能障碍使中风幸存者依赖其他人来帮助日常生活活动 (ADL)2。恢复上肢的丢失功能可能比将移动到下肢的正常功能更难实现。虽然双下肢运动是必不可少的运动, 病人可以执行 ADL 与单边上肢运动。这导致了受影响的肢体的一个博学的非使用的现象3。这种现象是中风幸存者上肢康复的障碍。因此, 大量的研究集中在上肢功能恢复。研究突出了广泛的实践和重复任务特定训练的重要性4,5,6。
虚拟现实 (VR) 技术最近被引入到康复领域7。VR 允许用户与模拟环境进行交互, 并接收与性能相关的连续、即时的反馈。VR 有可能在中风患者中应用神经康复的基本概念, 如强化、重复和任务导向训练 8.具体地说, 非沉浸式 VR 不需要高级图形性能或特殊硬件。因此, 非沉浸式 VR 是提供低成本、无处不在和有趣的治疗方案的好人选。以前的研究使用了计算机、显示器和特殊设备, 如控制台、传感器手套、欢乐棍和商业游戏系统, 用于非沉浸式 VR9。使用此类系统必须有更高的启动成本和足够的空间。最近, 一些低成本的工具, 如商用游戏设备, 已经被用来开发新的康复系统10,11。然而, 控制台与传感器在那些 devicesare 不足够小和轻量级为运载。然而, 为了改善非沉浸式 VR 的流行, 作为中风后上肢治疗方法, 并为中风幸存者创造无处不在的康复环境, 需要便携和廉价的工具。
此外, 基于游戏的治疗可以是中风康复的好选择。许多患者抱怨, 常规职业治疗 (OT) 为上肢功能恢复是枯燥和单调的12,13。因此, 一个更有趣和更有激励作用的治疗工具是促进患者参与康复训练的必要手段。许多涉及使用商业游戏的研究已经进行了14,15,16。然而, 使用的游戏并没有针对脑卒中患者上肢的期望运动, 也没有特别考虑中风后可能出现的痉挛。
本文介绍了一种基于移动游戏的虚拟现实程序的开发及其在经历中风和上肢功能障碍的患者中的应用 (图 1)。

mobile game-based virtual reality program for upper extremity stroke rehabilitation

中风康复需要重复的, 密集的, 目标导向的治疗。虚拟现实 (VR) 具有满足这些要求的潜力。以游戏为基础的治疗可以促进患者参与康复治疗, 作为一个更有趣和激励的工具。智能手机和平板电脑等移动设备可以提供个性化的基于家庭的治疗, 并与患者和临床医生进行互动交流。本研究开发了一种应用游戏应用的移动 VR 上肢康复方案。研究结果表明, 基于移动游戏的 VR 方案有效地促进了脑卒中患者上肢的康复。另外, 患者使用该方案完成了两周的治疗, 无不良影响, 对该方案普遍满意。这种基于移动游戏的 VR 上肢康复计划可以替代传统疗法的某些部分, 由职业治疗师一对一地提供。这一时间高效, 易于实施, 和临床有效的程序将是一个良好的候选工具, 远程康复的上肢恢复治疗中风患者。患者和治疗师可以通过这些电子健康康复计划远程协作, 同时降低经济和社会成本。

总共登记了24名患者, 并将其分配给该控件或实验组 (表 1)。在使用基于移动游戏的 VR 上肢康复计划 (图 3) 治疗后, 在 FMA、B 级和人工肌肉测试中发现了更大的改进。这种效果一直持续到一个月的随访。这意味着, 谅解备忘录的康复并不逊色于传统的治疗方法, 这是由职业治疗师一对一地提供的。

Two-photon Calcium Imaging in Mice Navigating a Virtual Reality Environment

In recent years, two-photon imaging has become an invaluable tool in neuroscience, as it allows for chronic measurement of the activity of genetically identified cells during behavior1-6. Here we describe methods to perform two-photon imaging in mouse cortex while the animal navigates a virtual reality environment. We focus on the aspects of the experimental procedures that are key to imaging in a behaving animal in a brightly lit virtual environment. The key problems that arise in this experimental setup that we here address are: minimizing brain motion related artifacts, minimizing light leak from the virtual reality projection system, and minimizing laser induced tissue damage. We also provide sample software to control the virtual reality environment and to do pupil tracking. With these procedures and resources it should be possible to convert a conventional two-photon microscope for use in behaving mice.

Here we describe the experimental procedures involved in two-photon imaging of mouse cortex during behavior in a virtual reality environment.

Haptic/Graphic Rehabilitation: Integrating a Robot into a Virtual Environment Library and Applying it to Stroke Therapy

Recent research that tests interactive devices for prolonged therapy practice has revealed new prospects for robotics combined with graphical and other forms of biofeedback. Previous human-robot interactive systems have required different software commands to be implemented for each robot leading to unnecessary developmental overhead time each time a new system becomes available. For example, when a haptic/graphic virtual reality environment has been coded for one specific robot to provide haptic feedback, that specific robot would not be able to be traded for another robot without recoding the program. However, recent efforts in the open source community have proposed a wrapper class approach that can elicit nearly identical responses regardless of the robot used. The result can lead researchers across the globe to perform similar experiments using shared code. Therefore modular "switching out"of one robot for another would not affect development time. In this paper, we outline the successful creation and implementation of a wrapper class for one robot into the open-source H3DAPI, which integrates the software commands most commonly used by all robots.

Recently, a vast amount of prospects have come available for human-robot interactive systems. In this paper we outline the integration of a new robotic device with open source software that can rapidly make possible a library of interactive functionality. We then outline a clinical application for a neurorehabilitation application.

Development of a Virtual Reality Assessment of Everyday Living Skills

Cognitive impairments affect the majority of patients with schizophrenia and these impairments predict poor long term psychosocial outcomes.&#160; Treatment studies aimed at cognitive impairment in patients with schizophrenia not only require demonstration of improvements on cognitive tests, but also evidence that any cognitive changes lead to clinically meaningful improvements.&#160; Measures of &#8220;functional capacity&#8221; index the extent to which individuals have the potential to perform skills required for real world functioning. &#160;Current data do not support the recommendation of any single instrument for measurement of functional capacity.&#160; The Virtual Reality Functional Capacity Assessment Tool (VRFCAT) is a novel, interactive gaming based measure of functional capacity that uses a realistic simulated environment to recreate routine activities of daily living. Studies are currently underway to evaluate and establish the VRFCAT&#8217;s sensitivity, reliability, validity, and practicality.&#160;This new measure of functional capacity is practical, relevant, easy to use, and has several features that improve validity and sensitivity of measurement of function in clinical trials of patients with CNS disorders.

A challenge for proving treatment efficacy for cognitive impairments in schizophrenia is finding the optimizing measurement of skills related to everyday functioning.&#160; The Virtual Reality Functional Capacity Assessment Tool (VRFCAT) is an interactive gaming based computerized measure aimed at skills associated with everyday functioning, including baseline impairments and treatment related changes.

A Structured Rehabilitation Protocol for Improved Multifunctional Prosthetic Control: A Case Study

Advances in robotic systems have resulted in prostheses for the upper limb that can produce multifunctional movements. However, these sophisticated systems require upper limb amputees to learn complex control schemes. Humans have the ability to learn new movements through imitation and other learning strategies. This protocol describes a structured rehabilitation method, which includes imitation, repetition, and reinforcement learning, and aims to assess if this method can improve multifunctional prosthetic control. A left below elbow amputee, with 4 years of experience in prosthetic use, took part in this case study. The prosthesis used was a Michelangelo hand with wrist rotation, and the added features of wrist flexion and extension, which allowed more combinations of hand movements. The participant&#8217;s Southampton Hand Assessment Procedure score improved from 58 to 71 following structured training. This suggests that a structured training protocol of imitation, repetition and reinforcement may have a role in learning to control a new prosthetic hand. A larger clinical study is however required to support these findings.

As prosthetic development moves towards the goal of natural control, harnessing amputees&#8217; inherent ability to learn new motor skills may enable proficiency. This manuscript describes a structured rehabilitation protocol, which includes imitation, repetition, and reinforcement learning strategies, for improved multifunctional prosthetic control.

Using Virtual Reality to Transfer Motor Skill Knowledge from One Hand to Another

As far as acquiring motor skills is concerned, training by voluntary physical movement is superior to all other forms of training (e.g. training by observation or passive movement of trainee&#39;s hands by a robotic device). This obviously presents a major challenge in the rehabilitation of a paretic limb since voluntary control of physical movement is limited. Here, we describe a novel training scheme we have developed that has the potential to circumvent this major challenge. We exploited the voluntary control of one hand and provided real-time movement-based manipulated sensory feedback as if the other hand is moving. Visual manipulation through virtual reality (VR) was combined with a device that yokes left-hand fingers to passively follow right-hand voluntary finger movements. In healthy subjects, we demonstrate enhanced within-session performance gains of a limb in the absence of voluntary physical training. Results in healthy subjects suggest that training with the unique VR setup might also be beneficial for patients with upper limb hemiparesis by exploiting the voluntary control of their healthy hand to improve rehabilitation of their affected hand.

We describe a novel virtual-reality based setup which exploits voluntary control of one hand to improve motor-skill performance in the other (non-trained) hand. This is achieved by providing real-time movement-based sensory feedback as if the non-trained hand is moving. This new approach may be used to enhance rehabilitation of patients with unilateral hemiparesis.

Paradigms of Lower Extremity Electrical Stimulation Training After Spinal Cord Injury

Skeletal muscle atrophy, increased adiposity and reduced physical activity are key changes observed after spinal cord injury (SCI) and are associated with numerous cardiometabolic health consequences. These changes are likely to increase the risk of developing chronic secondary conditions and impact the quality of life in persons with SCI. Surface neuromuscular electrical stimulation evoked resistance training (NMES-RT) was developed as a strategy to attenuate the process of skeletal muscle atrophy, decrease ectopic adiposity, improve insulin sensitivity and enhance mitochondrial capacity. However, NMES-RT is limited to only a single muscle group. Involving multiple muscle groups of the lower extremities may maximize the health benefits of training. Functional electrical stimulation-lower extremity cycling (FES-LEC) allows for the activation of 6 muscle groups, which is likely to evoke greater metabolic and cardiovascular adaptation. Appropriate knowledge of the stimulation parameters is key to maximizing the outcomes of electrical stimulation training in persons with SCI. Adopting strategies for long-term use of NMES-RT and FES-LEC during rehabilitation may maintain the integrity of the musculoskeletal system, a pre-requisite for clinical trials aiming to restore walking after injury. The current manuscript presents a combined protocol using NMES-RT prior to FES-LEC. We hypothesize that muscles conditioned for 12 weeks prior to cycling will be capable of generating greater power, cycle against higher resistance and result in greater adaptation in persons with SCI.

Spinal cord injury is a traumatic medical condition that may result in elevated risks of chronic secondary metabolic disorders. Here, we presented a protocol using surface neuromuscular electrical stimulation-resistance training in conjunction with functional electrical stimulation-lower extremities cycling as a strategy to ameliorate several of these medical problems.

Measuring the Kinematics of Daily Living Movements with Motion Capture Systems in Virtual Reality

The inability to complete instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) is a precursor to various neuropsychological diseases. Questionnaire-based assessments of IADL are easy to use but prone to subjective bias. Here, we describe a novel virtual reality (VR) test to assess two complex IADL tasks: handling financial transactions and using public transportation. While a participant performs the tasks in a VR setting, a motion capture system traces the position and orientation of the dominant hand and head in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. Kinematic raw data are collected and converted into &#39;kinematic performance measures,&#39; i.e., motion trajectory, moving distance, and time to completion. Motion trajectory is the path of a particular body part (e.g., dominant hand or head) in space. Moving distance refers to the total distance of the trajectory, and time to completion is how long it took to complete an IADL task. These kinematic measures could discriminate patients with cognitive impairment from healthy controls. The development of this kinematic measuring protocol allows detection of early IADL-related cognitive impairments.

We designed a virtual reality test to assess instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) with a motion capture system. We propose a detailed kinematic analysis to interpret the participant&#39;s various movements, including trajectory, moving distance, and time to completion to evaluate IADL capabilities.

Cognitive Function and Upper Limb Rehabilitation Training Post-Stroke Using a Digital Occupational Training System

Stroke rehabilitation often requires frequent and intensive therapy to improve functional recovery. Virtual reality (VR) technology has shown the potential to meet these demands by providing engaging and motivating therapy options. The digital occupational training system is a VR application that utilizes cutting-edge technologies, including multi-touch screens, virtual reality, and human-computer interaction, to offer diverse training techniques for advanced cognitive capacity and hand-eye coordination abilities. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of this program in enhancing cognitive function and upper extremity rehabilitation in stroke patients. The training and assessment consist of five cognitive modules covering perception, attention, memory, logical reasoning, and calculation, along with hand-eye coordination training. This research indicates that after eight weeks of training, the digital occupational training system can significantly improve cognitive function, daily living skills, attention, and self-care abilities in stroke patients. This software can be employed as a time-saving and clinically effective rehabilitation aid to complement traditional one-on-one occupational therapy sessions. In summary, the digital occupational training system shows promise and offers potential financial benefits as a tool to support the functional recovery of stroke patients.
