Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

Sensory Modalities

4.1K
Sensation typically is the process by which the sensory receptors and sense organs detect stimuli from the internal and external environment and transmit this information to the central nervous system for processing.
General senses refer to the broad category of sensory information detected by receptors in the body and can be further grouped into somatic and visceral senses. Somatic sensations include touch, pressure, temperature, and pain and are essential for navigating our environment and...

Therapeutic Communication01:30

Therapeutic Communication

Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...

Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Assistive Technology
  • Therapeutic Recreation

Background:

  • Horseback riding offers therapeutic benefits, improving self-esteem and independence for individuals with various conditions, including autism.
  • Deafblind riders typically require a dedicated interpreter for communication during horseback riding, limiting their autonomy.
  • Existing therapeutic horseback riding methods may not fully cater to the independence needs of deafblind individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a haptic interface for deafblind individuals to practice horseback riding independently.
  • To enhance the recreational and therapeutic experience of horseback riding for deafblind individuals.
  • To assess the impact of the haptic interface on rider independence, motivation, and overall enjoyment.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel haptic interface for remote cue delivery during horseback riding.
  • Experimental testing with an autistic deafblind individual to assess responses to navigational cues.
  • Collection of user feedback through questionnaires administered to the rider, family, and instructor.

Main Results:

  • The haptic interface enabled deafblind individuals to receive remote cues, fostering greater independence.
  • An autistic deafblind participant showed comparable responses to navigational cues as unimpaired riders.
  • Qualitative data indicated increased rider independence and enjoyment compared to traditional horseback riding methods.

Conclusions:

  • The developed haptic interface significantly improves independence and joy for deafblind individuals during therapeutic horseback riding.
  • Remote cueing via haptic feedback is a viable method for enhancing the autonomy of deafblind riders.
  • This technology holds promise for improving the efficacy and accessibility of horseback riding as a therapy.
