A Physiologically Based Clinical Measure For Spastic Reflexes In Spinal Cord Injury, Ela Benz, T. Hornby, Rita Bode, Robert Scheidt, Brian Schmit

Objective: To test the validity of the Spinal Cord Assessment Tool for Spastic reflexes (SCATS), a clinical tool intended to rate spastic motor behavior after spinal cord injury (SCI). Design: By using correlational analyses, the SCATS was validated using concurrent measurements of kinematics and electromyograms and traditional assessments of spasms and spastic hypertonia. Setting: Research laboratory (kinematics and electromyography) and outpatient medical clinic (traditional measures of spastic hypertonia). Participants: Eleven people with SCI were used for kinematic and electromyographic measurements. Seventeen people with SCI were used for comparison with other clinical scales. Interventions: Not applicable. Main outcome measures: Kinematic and …

We have found, through a series of recent experiments, encouraging evidence that the neuro-motor system is motivated to change motor patterns when exposed to visuo-motor tasks. We have also shown that the learning of these tasks can be heightened with forces and/or visual distortions that appropriately manipulate the error. This process does not require intense concentration and it is often considered a game. We describe the next generation of robotic large-workspace, three dimensional haptics/graphics systems for rehabilitation

Computerized Biofeedback Knee Goniometer: Acceptance And Effect On Exercise Behavior In Post-Total Knee Arthroplasty Rehabilitation, Todd Kuiken, Hagay Amir, Robert Scheidt
Robert Scheidt
Objective To assess device accuracy, patient acceptance, and effect of a computerized biofeedback knee goniometer (CBG), on patients’ compliance with active range of motion (AROM) exercises after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Design Two-stage study: measurement validation on asymptomatic controls and an unblinded, multiple crossover trial. Setting Inpatient rehabilitation. Participants Asymptomatic controls (n=14) and post-TKA inpatients (n=11). Interventions For measurement validation, CBG-angle measurements were compared with manual, clinician-obtained angles. To assess motivational effect, the CBG was worn after TKA; on alternating days, it either monitored AROM silently (no feedback) or provided audiovisual feedback about reaching preset range of motion (ROM) goals …
