Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Medical Technology
  • Neurorehabilitation

Background:

  • Abnormal upper limb function severely affects daily living, necessitating effective recovery training post-emergency treatment.
  • Conventional passive hand skateboard devices offer a basis for upper limb training but lack comprehensive process analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To integrate an Infrared (IR)-camera with a passive hand skateboard for enhanced upper limb rehabilitation.
  • To comprehensively record and analyze the upper limb training process using this integrated system.

Main Methods:

  • An IR-camera and infrared emitter were integrated with a conventional passive hand skateboard.
  • A binding band guided patients along a designated path for upper limb training.
  • Stability tests were conducted on individuals with normal upper limb function.
  • Eight stroke patients (MMSE >= 27) underwent 4 weeks of training with the device.

Main Results:

  • The integrated device demonstrated acceptable repeatability and test results.
  • Patients showed significant improvements in finishing rate and time after 4 weeks of training.
  • Paired T-tests revealed significant (p < 0.05/0.01) improvements between weeks 1 and 2, and extremely significant (p < 0.01) improvements between weeks 1 and 4.
  • The IR-camera system provided continuous focus on the training path with no hardware delay.

Conclusions:

  • The IR-camera integrated hand skateboard system is lightweight, convenient, and suitable for home-based stroke rehabilitation.
  • The technology offers obvious clinical advances and is worthy of promotion for upper limb training.
