This new technique needs only a portable device, with patients wearing a watch-like monitor linked to a mobile phone to gather the results. It's used while patients do rehabilitation exercises.
Sensory stimulation therapy (SST) is an experimental therapy that aims to use neural plasticity mechanisms to aid in the recovery of somatosensory function after stroke or cognitive ageing. Stroke and cognitive ageing are well known sources of cognitive loss, the former by neuronal death , the latter by weakening of neural connections .
The therapy involves specific exercises and sensory stimulation aimed at reorganizing the nervous system to inhibit these persistent reflexes. The goal is to support neurological maturity, laying the foundation for more complex motor and cognitive skills.
The Bobath concept is an approach to neurological rehabilitation that is applied in patient assessment and treatment (such as with adults after stroke [1] or children with cerebral palsy [2]). The goal of applying the Bobath concept is to promote motor learning for efficient motor control in various environments, thereby improving participation ...
Key Takeaways. Dementia patients can benefit from creative activities. Painting, music, crafts, and other sensory activities keep seniors engaged and allow opportunities for emotional expression.
The somatosensory system, or somatic sensory system is a subset of the sensory nervous system. It has two subdivisions, one for the detection of mechanosensory information related to touch, and the other for the nociception detection of pain and temperature. [ 1 ]
Eventually, researchers began to apply his technique to stroke patients, and it came to be called constraint-induced movement therapy. Notably, the initial studies focused on chronic stroke patients who were more than 12 months past their stroke. This challenged the belief held at that time that no recovery would occur after one year.
The Detroit Free Press reported at the time that 634 of the jobs being cut then were at the GM Global Technical Center in Warren based on information provided to the state of Michigan.
