  • Impacto do biofeedback na reabilitação motora de pessoas com sequela de lesão neurológica adquirida
    Publication . Abreu, Paulo; Restivo, Maria Teresa; Sousa, Helena
    Neste trabalho é apresentado o dispositivo instrumentado SHaRe e diversas aplicações informáticas desenvolvidas, na forma de jogos com as quais interatua, que permitem a sua utilização em atividades de reabilitação, nomeadamente, num programa de Terapia Ocupacional. O dispositivo Share, na sua forma de copo, está instrumentado com sensor de força e com sensor inercial. Esta instrumentação do dispositivo associada às aplicações desenvolvidas, permitem dar ao utilizador um feedback da força preensora usada na manipulação do objeto, bem como usar técnicas de visualização aumentada. Estas funcionalidades, juntamente com o uso de aplicações do tipo de jogos, permitem aos utilizadores uma maior motivação com impacto no sucesso das atividades de reabilitação. A utilização do dispositivo SHaRe foi testada em diversos contextos de reabilitação tendo a sua utilidade e versatilidade sido reconhecidas por utilizadores e técnicos.

  • Instrumented balance board
    Publication . Abreu, Paulo; Chousal, Fátima; Sousa, Helena; Restivo, Maria Teresa
    A balance board can be a useful tool for increasing stability and balance, which is advantageous for a variety of users, including athletes, elderly people, people recovering from injuries or neurodegenerative diseases, and stroke patients. The majority of these balance boards typically comprise a simple board or platform on a pivot point, without providing any feedback data to the user. The instrumentation of these boards can enlarge the applicability of these boards by providing a way to record user performance and visualize the execution of the exercises with the board. This work will offer a demo to present the prototype of a balance board that was instrumented with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and microcontroller to provide orientation data. The developed application software allows storing historic data and provides visual and acoustic feedback. This portable prototype is built on top of a commercially available balance board and the user interface runs on a web- based application.

  • Positive effects of visual, auditory biofeedback and exergames on physical rehabilitation: A review of SHaRe clinical trials
    Publication . Restivo, Maria Teresa; Abreu, Paulo; Sousa, Helena; Rodrigues, José
    This work discusses the use of an interactive platform for physical rehabilitation, called SHaRe, that was tested in various health conditions, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, limb amputation, and acquired neurological injury. The platform uses visual and sound biofeedback and exergames to engage participants and encourage adherence to rehabilitation programs. Results from studies using the developed platform SHaRe positively impacts hand strength, prosthesis control, and object handling. Participants in all studies reported high levels of satisfaction finding it to be fun and motivating. The telerehabilitation approach was successfully used in two of the studies. Overall, the findings suggest that SHaRe is a promising platform for physical rehabilitation in a variety of physical conditions.
