Filter by:Rehabilitation technology is more and more implemented in conventional therapy to increase the dosage of therapy and/or increase patient's motivation towards therapy. In orthopedic as well as neurological rehabilitation it is important to exercise with enough intensity and repetitions to improve functional performance in activities of daily life, and consequently quality of life. At the moment, not all (rehabilitation) technologies are adapted towards the wishes and needs of both patients and therapists for everyday use in the clinical setting. Also, not all technologies are fit for independent use by the patients. Researcher of PXL have developed a Kinect-based system (i.e. i-ACT) for rehabilitation and performed supervised research with i-ACT in neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and older adults. Within this research, patients will exercise with i-ACT under supervision of their therapist during weekdays, but in the weekends they will be motivated by the medical staff to perform their exercises with i-ACT. The medical staff will be present for safety reasons, but the patient is asked to use and exercise with i-ACT as independent as possible. The aim of this research is to explore to which extend i-ACT is suitable for semi-independent use by patients in orthopedic or neurological rehabilitation.
This exploratory study aims to validate the collection and analysis of brain tissue imprints during the DBS by using a CE marked Medical Device in patients presenting one of the following five disorders: Parkinson's disease (PD), essential tremor (ET), dystonia (DYS), Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette Syndrome (TS). The Brain Tissue Imprint project is focused on the DBS surgical procedure, which constitutes an appropriate method to collect brain tissue imprints by taking advantage of the direct and transitory contact at the extremity of the dilator with adjacent brain tissue. Indeed, during this step, micro-fragments of brain material spontaneously adhere to the dilator tip. It is this imprinting process that allows to collect what is defined as "brain tissue imprints. This approach is part of the standard surgical procedure of the SCP without major change or complications.
To determine the safety and efficacy of Amniotic and Umbilical Cord Tissue for the treatment of the following condition categories: Orthopedic, Neurologic, Urologic, Autoimmune, Renal, Cardiac and Pulmonary Conditions. The hypotheses are that the treatments are not only extremely safe, but also statistically beneficial for all conditions. Outcomes will be determined by numerous valid outcome instruments that compile general quality of life information along with condition-specific information as well.
