Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. The efficacy of recovery is determined by a variety of factors, including patient adherence to rehabilitation programs. One way to increase patient adherence to their…
Background: The brain's functional network constantly adapts to external changes. However, the mechanisms underlying this dynamic adaptive behavior in stroke patients with motor injuries and its role in post-stroke motor recovery remain…
The functional independence measure (FIM) is widely used to evaluate patients' physical independence in activities of daily living. However, traditional FIM assessment imposes a significant burden on both patients and healthcare…
Rehabilitation exercises are essential to ensure speedy recovery of stroke patients. An automated system to assist the patient in performing a rehabilitation exercise repeatedly is designed. The design process is presented in this report.
The brain continually reorganizes its functional network to adapt to post-stroke functional impairments. Previous studies using static modularity analysis have presented global-level behavior patterns of this network reorganization.…
Recent advances in data analytics and computer-aided diagnostics stimulate the vision of patient-centric precision healthcare, where treatment plans are customized based on the health records and needs of every patient. In physical…
Accurate stroke lesion segmentation plays a pivotal role in stroke rehabilitation research, to provide lesion shape and size information which can be used for quantification of the extent of the stroke and to assess treatment efficacy.…
Through participatory design, we are developing a computational system for the semi-automated assessment of the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) for stroke rehabilitation. During rehabilitation assessment, clinicians rate movement segments…
Rehabilitation training is the primary intervention to improve motor recovery after stroke, but a tool to measure functional training does not currently exist. To bridge this gap, we previously developed an approach to classify functional…
Upper extremity motor impairment affects about 80\% of persons after strokes. For stroke rehabilitation, upper limb kinematic assessments have increasingly been used as primary or secondary outcome measures. Studying the upper extremity…
At-home rehabilitation for post-stroke patients presents significant challenges, as continuous, personalized care is often limited outside clinical settings. Moreover, the lack of integrated solutions capable of simultaneously monitoring…
The main purpose of the paper is development, implementation, and testing of a low-cost portable system to assist partially paralyzed patients in their hand rehabilitation after strokes or some injures. Rehabilitation includes time…
Recent advancements in robotic rehabilitation therapy have provided modular exercise systems for post-stroke muscle recovery with basic control schemes. But these systems struggle to adapt to patients' complex and ever-changing behaviour,…
Strokes are a leading cause of disability, with many experiencing difficulty in recovering arm movement, particularly hand function and grasping ability. There is currently no objective measure of movement quality, and without it,…
Patients who are undergoing physical rehabilitation, benefit from feedback that follows from reliable assessment of their cumulative performance attained at a given time. In this paper, we provide a method for the learning of the recovery…
Stroke can have a severe impact on an individual's quality of life, leading to consequences such as motor loss and communication problems, especially among the elderly. Studies have shown that early and easy access to stroke rehabilitation…
The growing demands of stroke rehabilitation have increased the need for solutions to support autonomous exercising. Virtual coaches can provide real-time exercise feedback from video data, helping patients improve motor function and keep…
Markerless pose estimation allows reconstructing human movement from multiple synchronized and calibrated views, and has the potential to make movement analysis easy and quick, including gait analysis. This could enable much more frequent…
Strategy training is a multidisciplinary rehabilitation approach that teaches skills to reduce disability among those with cognitive impairments following a stroke. Strategy training has been shown in randomized, controlled clinical trials…
Objective: Closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) may improve current clinical DBS treatment for neurological movement disorders, but control algorithms may perform differently across patients. New metrics are needed for comparing and…
