We use three electrodes to measure two channels of bioimpedance from the trapezius muscle. Bioimpedance changes when there is a movement in the segment of trapezius muscle. We can classify six types of motions resulting in six operation capabilities for wheelchair control based on six types of shoulder movements, i.e. left shoulder up, right shoulder up, and both shoulder up for short time and long time. Our system is composed of the modified Howland current bridge circuit, which supplies the 0.5 mA ac current to the measurement system at the frequency of 50 kHz. NI PCI-6250 DAQ board was adopted to collect the data and Labview 8.2 was used to implement the signal processing and control system. Algorithms applied in the system are an automatic threshold value adjustment, which adapt its value to the measured signal. Pump value detection is used to detect the unexpected large change of the signal to avoid the wrong operation. Results indicate that the change of signal according to the shoulder movement is very stable. Moreover, we can use the shoulder movement to control LED on Labview8.2 with an accuracy of 100%.","PeriodicalId":241320,"journal":{"name":"International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering & Assistive Technology","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134388187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ravichandran, Huang Qunfang Jacklyn","doi":"10.1145/1592700.1592740","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/1592700.1592740","url":null,"abstract":"Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder and its manifestation during childhood is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity. Children with such mental retardation more often exhibit behavior problems than children without disabilities. Teaching these children is more challenging than teaching normal children in the same age group and is always considered as one of the most important and challenging functions of special education. ADHD is currently considered a persistent and chronic condition. Though a common behavior modification strategy is not always useful in dealing with neurobehavioral development, it may be more appropriate to design strategies based on the cognitive ability of the subject undergoing treatment. The strategy discussed in this paper is mostly focused on educating children with attention deficit disorder than treating hyperactivity as hyperactivity is mostly managed by the used of medication. The behavior modification strategy suggested is based on the fact that children below 12 years have strong interest in specific activities involving audiovisual stimulus. The strategy aims in motivating the children to learn a specific act such as learning subjects like mathematics. The protocol basically motivates the children to focus and concentrate on solving a problem in order to be rewarded with audiovisual stimulus which are of interest to them. The paper provides a fairly comprehensive picture on the neuro-cognitive modifications associated with this treatment protocol in treating these children.","PeriodicalId":241320,"journal":{"name":"International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering & Assistive Technology","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125868949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Barrier-Free Design is rapidly becoming an integrated practice internationally in cultural heritage accessibility. Thus, this paper will explore and apply the universal approach as the means by which the cultural heritage sites could be modified into heritage conservation accessible for all users. Any changes to heritage places need to consider the impact on the values of the heritage itself.\u0000 Set within Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), there are six comprising countries. In this connection, the paper is based on three scenarios namely: Wonders of Natural Landscape, Built Heritage, and Historical Town. The lack of consultation with two groups of respondents, experts referring to those stakeholders with professional role to play in relation to the survey of spaces and non-experts who are the general public, is a contributing factor. Consequently, the methodology of this study involves the preference judgment scale, open-ended questions and illustrations.","PeriodicalId":241320,"journal":{"name":"International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering & Assistive Technology","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117110793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We applied Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) to recognize human activities in daily living. Seven different movements, stand, sit, walk, run, stand-to-sit, sit-to-stand and lyings were considered and recorded as reference database signals. Our system consists of two parts: transmitter and receiver. A transmitter part is a device mounted at the user's waist with a size of a pager case measuring 90x40x20 mm. A sensor used in this device is a 3-axial accelerometer (Hitachi H48C). The signals from the accelerometer are transmitted wirelessly to a personal computer in receiver part using Zigbee Pro 2.4GHz. DTW is used to match the signals from different behaviors online with the databases and classify the data to a known activity. Falls are detected with a rule-based approach, in which the signal values are over thresholds following by the lying activity. Thresholds are computed from the minimum and maximum value in each axis of acceleration in the reference databases. The experiment shows 98.6 percent accuracy in recognizing these behaviors and in detecting fall.","PeriodicalId":241320,"journal":{"name":"International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering & Assistive Technology","volume":"05 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127433951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on assessing the efficacy of the Nintendo Wii, popular in the United States and Japan, in promoting regular exercise among senior citizens in Singapore (aged 65 years and above). Adapting from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this exploratory study examines senior citizens' perceptions of the Nintendo Wii. Twenty-eight participants took part in this pilot study conducted at a senior citizens centre in Singapore. Data collection was carried out via a self-reported questionnaire and video observation. Findings indicate that senior citizens perceived the Nitindo Wii usable with realistic depictions of games and had positive engagement with the Wii games. However, contrary to prior belief, findings did not show that perceived usefulness has a significant influence on senior citizens' intention to use the Wii for improving social interaction, health and exercise. The paper concludes with a discussion on the design and impact of digitally mediated games for elderly users.","PeriodicalId":241320,"journal":{"name":"International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering & Assistive Technology","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114177347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
