Interactive arts technologies, designed to augment the acute neurorehabilitation provided by expert therapists, may overcome existing barriers of access for patients with low motor and cognitive function.
Develop an application prototype to present movement feedback interactively and creatively. Evaluate feasibility of use within acute neurorehabilitation.
Record demographics and Functional Independent Measure™ scores among inpatients who used the technology during physical, occupational or recreational therapy. Record exercises performed with the technology, longest exercise duration performed (calculated from sensor data), user feedback, and therapist responses to a validated technology assessment questionnaire.
Inpatients (n = 21) between the ages of 19 and 86 (mean 57 ± 18; 12 male/9 female) receiving treatment for motor deficits associated with neuropathology used the application in conjunction with occupational, recreational, or physical therapy during 1 to 7 sessions. Patients classified on the Functional Independence Measure™ as requiring 75%+ assistance for cognitive and motor function were able to use the interactive application.
Customized interactive arts applications are appropriate for further study as a therapeutic modality. In addition to providing interactivity to individuals with low motor function, interactive arts applications might serve to augment activity-based medicine among inpatients with low problem-solving and memory function.
旨在增强专家治疗师提供的急性神经康复效果的互动艺术技术,可能克服低运动和认知功能患者的现有获取障碍。
开发一种应用原型,以互动和创造性的方式呈现运动反馈。评估其在急性神经康复中的使用可行性。
记录在物理、职业或娱乐治疗期间使用该技术的住院患者的人口统计学和功能独立性测量(Functional Independence Measure,FIM)评分。记录使用该技术进行的练习、最长练习持续时间(根据传感器数据计算)、用户反馈以及治疗师对经过验证的技术评估问卷的反馈。
年龄在 19 至 86 岁之间(平均 57 ± 18;12 名男性/9 名女性)的因神经病理学引起运动缺陷而接受治疗的住院患者在 1 至 7 次治疗期间将该应用与职业、娱乐或物理治疗结合使用。在认知和运动功能方面需要 75%+辅助的功能独立性测量患者能够使用交互式应用。
定制的互动艺术应用程序适合进一步研究作为一种治疗方式。除了为低运动功能的个体提供互动性外,互动艺术应用程序还可以为低解决问题和记忆功能的住院患者中的基于活动的医学提供补充。
