This study explores the use of isometric movement training for arm rehabilitation after stroke. The aim of this approach is to enhance movement skill even when the person training is not moving. This is accomplished by deceptively displaying virtual motions, exploiting known cross-modal sensory interactions between vision and proprioception. This approach can be advantageous in situations where actual movement is prohibitive due to weakness, spasticity, instability, or unsafe conditions. We present early insights on usability of and tolerance to this training approach and quantitative results that can power future clinical trials.
本研究探讨等长运动训练在中风后手臂康复中的应用。这种方法的目的是即使在训练者没有移动时也能提高运动技能。这是通过欺骗性地显示虚拟动作来实现的,利用视觉和本体感觉之间已知的跨模态感觉交互。在因虚弱、痉挛、不稳定或不安全状况而无法进行实际运动的情况下,这种方法可能具有优势。我们展示了关于这种训练方法的可用性和耐受性的早期见解以及可为未来临床试验提供依据的定量结果。
