Motor retraining following stroke can occur through intensive, repetitive motion tasks that require concentration to promote new connections in the brain. Conducting intensive, repetitive therapy in the clinic is time consuming for both patient and therapist. A home-based, clinician-directed tracking training system for rehabilitation is presented. Two biofeedback motion training systems have been developed, one for hand and wrist motor relearning and the other for the ankle. The systems include a potentiometer joint sensor, a smart box interface and a laptop host computer. An internet connection allowed for periodic video teleconferencing between patient and therapist. The hand/wrist system was evaluated in a pilot project with 24 subjects. The results demonstrated technical feasibility for the technology. The ankle system is currently undergoing evaluation.
中风后的运动再训练可以通过密集、重复的运动任务来实现，这些任务需要集中注意力以促进大脑中新的连接。在诊所进行密集、重复的治疗对患者和治疗师来说都很耗时。本文介绍了一种基于家庭的、由临床医生指导的康复跟踪训练系统。已经开发了两种生物反馈运动训练系统，一种用于手部和腕部运动再学习，另一种用于脚踝。这些系统包括一个电位计关节传感器、一个智能盒接口和一台笔记本电脑主机。互联网连接允许患者和治疗师定期进行视频电话会议。手部/腕部系统在一个有24名受试者的试点项目中进行了评估。结果证明了该技术的技术可行性。脚踝系统目前正在进行评估。
