Restorative Care

Restorative Care

Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Learning Disabilities

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Rehabilitation Medicine
Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

Video games are increasingly used in rehabilitation for patient motivation and engagement.
The Rewire project explores remote, home-based rehabilitation infrastructure for post-hospital care.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel, low-cost video game platform specifically designed for neglect rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

Patients engage in specifically designed games requiring exploration of their neglected hemispace with increasing difficulty.
Visual and auditory cues are used to guide patients and are progressively removed.
Game features include randomized scenarios, balanced rewards, and background music to enhance engagement for prolonged treatment.

Main Results:

A single patient showed a highly positive attitude towards the platform during a one-month trial.
Significant improvement in neglect symptoms was observed during the trial.
These improvements were maintained at a five-month follow-up and generalized to daily activities.

Conclusions:

The developed video game system shows potential for integration into home-based rehabilitation programs.
This approach offers a cost-effective and engaging solution for ongoing patient therapy.
