The Purdue Pegboard Test examined upper limb control. In the second test, the actions indicated by the Hand20 questionnaire were performed while wearing a wrist orthosis. An electrocardiogram was obtained before and after each test to identify any changes in sympathetic nervous system activity.Results: The Purdue Pegboard Test scores were significantly higher when not wearing a wrist orthosis than when wearing wrist orthosis, and the Hand20 scores for all question were significantly lower. Thermoplastic wrist orthoses had fewer restrictions for upper limb function compared to padded fiberglass wrist orthoses, however activities of daily living were more limited.

In the EU, millions of workers are being affected by workplace-related MSDs, inflicting huge financial implications on the European economy. Besides that, increased health problems and financial losses, severe shortages of skilled labor also emerge. The work aims to create awareness and accelerate the adoption of exoskeletons among SMEs and construction workers to reduce MSDs. Large-scale manufacturers and automobile assemblers are more open to adopt exoskeletons, however, the use of exoskeletons in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is still not recognized. This paper presents an experimental study demonstrating the advantages of different exoskeletons while performing workers' tasks. The study illustrates how the use of certain upper and lower body exoskeletons can reduce muscle effort. The muscle activity of the participants was measured using EMG sensors and was compared while performing designated tasks. It was found that up to 60% reduction in human effort can be achieved while performing the same tasks using exoskeletons. This can also help ill workers in rehabilitation and putting them back to work. The study concludes with pragmatic recommendations for future exoskeletons.","PeriodicalId":43319,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering","volume":"11 ","pages":"20556683241239875"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10958811/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140207795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As established force plates are impossible to transport, we aimed to criterion validate a portable pressure plate for obtaining reliable COP synchronization and symmetry measures, next to conventional postural stability measures.Methods: Twenty healthy adults participated. In a single session, three 40-s eyes-open and eyes-closed quiet stance trials were performed per plate-type, randomly ordered. Individual-limb COPs were measured to calculate between-limb synchronization (BLS) and dynamic control asymmetry (DCA). Net COP (i.e., limbs combined) area, amplitude, and velocity were used to describe anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) postural stability. Criterion validity was evaluated using Spearman correlations (r) and Bland-Altman plots. Test-retest reliability was tested using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC).Results: Strong correlations (r > 0.75) and acceptable reliability (ICC > 0.80) were found regarding individual-limb COP velocity and DCA, net COP ML amplitude and AP and ML velocities. Bland-Altman plots yielded possible proportional bias; the pressure plate systematically underestimated COP scores by force plates and a larger error associated with a larger measurement.Conclusions: Despite correlations between instruments and sufficient reliability for measuring postural stability and DCA, this technical note strongly suggests, due to a systematic deviation, using the same plate-type to accurately assess performance change within subjects longitudinally over time.","PeriodicalId":43319,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering","volume":"11 ","pages":"20556683241234858"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11061883/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140869632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to structurally develop functional and technical design requirements of arm supports for people with DMD Brooke Scale 4.Methods: An overview of clinical characteristics and a classification of clinically meaningful activities were derived from data from the Dutch Dystrophinopathy Database and available literature. Based on these, functional and technical design requirements of arm supports were developed and matched to the achievable needs of the user.Results: First, the clinical characteristics of the target population, such as strength, range of motion, and functional ability, are given. Next, clinically relevant activities of daily living are translated to functional requirements categorised in a 'must,' 'should,' and 'could' category. Last, the technical requirements to realise these functional goals are presented.Conclusions: The recommendations following from the functional user needs, technical requirements, and safety considerations can be used to make the development of assistive arm supports for people with DMD Brooke Scale 4 more user-centred.","PeriodicalId":43319,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering","volume":"11 ","pages":"20556683241228478"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10854382/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139724386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this scoping review was to explore what technology-based interventions are being used to manage challenging behaviours in people with TBI. Two independent reviewers analysed 3505 studies conducted between 2000 and 2023. Studies were selected from five databases using search strategies developed in collaboration with a university librarian. Sixteen studies were selected. Most studies used biofeedback and mobile applications, primarily targeting emotional dysregulation. These technologies were tested in a variety of settings. Two interventions involved both people with TBI and their family caregivers. This review found that technology-based interventions have the potential to support behavioural management, though research and technology development is at an early stage. Future research is needed to further develop technology-based interventions that target diverse challenging behaviours, and to document their effectiveness and acceptability for use by people with TBI and their families.","PeriodicalId":43319,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering","volume":"10 ","pages":"20556683231191975"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/ce/ac/10.1177_20556683231191975.PMC10443634.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10307195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relationship between doff time and active motion time was investigated, and durations of low and high intensity active motions were compared.Results: For the 14 participants tested, the median prosthesis day duration ranged from 12.8-18.8 h.
