As a result, it helps to motivate patients to exercise frequently in a more comfortable home environment. However, for such a paradigm to work, it is essential that the robustness of the system is not compromised due to network latency, jitter, and delay of the internet. This paper proposes a solution to data loss compensation to maintain the quality of the interaction between the user and the system. Data collected from a well-defined collaborative task using a virtual reality (VR) environment was used to train a robotic system to adapt to the users' behaviour. The proposed approach uses nonlinear autoregressive models with exogenous input (NARX) and long-short term memory (LSTM) neural networks to smooth out the interaction between the user and the predicted movements generated from the system. LSTM neural networks are shown to learn to act like an actual human. The results from this paper have shown that, with an appropriate training method, the artificial predictor can perform very well by allowing the predictor to complete the task within 25 s versus 23 s when executed by the human.","PeriodicalId":43319,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering","volume":"10 ","pages":"20556683231156788"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10031623/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9561630","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}

We surveyed informal caregivers of older adults with disability in Canada. Participants were asked to answer questions about their preferences for 10 potential technological solutions that could be developed to make caregiving easier.Results: Data from 125 respondents (72 caregivers of people with NCD and 53 caregivers of people with non-NCD-related disabilities) were analyzed.

The transcripts were coded using thematic analysis inspired by the WHO International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health.Results: Design recommendations, potential features, and barriers were identified from the interviews. Stroke survivors and therapists agreed on many of the needs for at-home robotic rehabilitation; however, stroke survivors had more insights into their home environment, barriers, and needs relating to technology, while therapists had more insights into therapy methodology and patient safety and interaction. Both groups felt a one-size-fits-all approach to rehabilitation robot design is inappropriate. Designs could address a broader range of impairments by incorporating household items and breaking activities down into their component motions. Designs should incorporate hand and wrist supports and activities.

Our ability to make quantitative recommendations about the effects of wheelchair configuration changes is limited by system-level tests to measure rolling resistance (RR). We developed a method that directly measures caster and propulsion wheel RR at a component-level. The study purpose is to assess accuracy and consistency of component-level estimates of system-level RR.Methods: The RR of N = 144 simulated unique wheelchair-user systems were estimated using our novel component-level method and compared to system-level RR measured by treadmill drag tests, representing combinations of caster types/diameters, rear wheel types/diameters, loads, and front-rear load distributions. Accuracy was assessed by Bland-Altman limits of agreement (LOA) and consistency by intraclass correlation (ICC).Results: Overall ICC was 0.94, 95% CI [0.91-0.95]. Component-level estimates were systematically lower than system-level (-1.1 N), with LOA +/-1.3 N. RR force differences between methods were constant over the range of test conditions.Conclusion: Component-level estimates of wheelchair-user system RR are accurate and consistent when compared to a system-level test method, evidenced by small absolute LOA and high ICC. Combined with a prior study on precision, this study helps to establish validity for this RR test method.","PeriodicalId":43319,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering","volume":"10 ","pages":"20556683231180877"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/28/c9/10.1177_20556683231180877.PMC10251480.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10298918","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 pilot study investigates how social engagement facilitated by mobile technology may reduce lack of motivation as a barrier to PA in individuals with SCI and demonstrates design implications for future technologies.Methods: A user-needs survey was conducted with participants in the community. We recruited 26 participants (16 individuals with SCI and 10 family members or peers). A participatory design process using semi-structured interviews was used to identify themes relating to PA barriers.Results: One theme related to PA barriers was lack of PA-focused forums to connect with peers. Participants with SCI considered connecting with other individuals with SCI more motivating than connecting with their family members. Another key finding was that participants with SCI did not perceive that personal fitness trackers were targeted towards wheelchair-based activities.Conclusions: Engagement and communication with peers who have similar functional mobility levels and life experiences can potentially improve motivation for PA; however, PA-motivational platforms are not tailored towards wheelchair-users.

In addition, patients with cognitive impairment or neglect presented driving stability problems, which were observed in the driving trajectory.

For validation, increasing weights were hung on the push-rim at known positions. Resulting values were compared against pre-determined force components.Results: The implemented prototype weighed 2.1 kg and was able to transmit signals to a mobile recording device at 140 Hz. Errors in forces at locations of propulsive pushes were in the range up to ±3.1 N but higher at the frontal extreme.
