How it works Video: http://www.neuromove.com/neuromove-therapy-video/ Detects attempts below where trace movements are visible. Distinguishes between regular muscle activity, muscle tone, and real attempts. When a real attempt is detected, the unit rewards the patient with muscle contraction, visual and sensory feedback serves as an important element in relearning the movement. Very motivating, see they could make a difference, where previously, they had no indication of their attempts.

Slide 10-

Clinical studies Classically backed by biofeedback principals Most of the studies included patients between 6 months and 14 years post-stroke, subjects were motivated and cognitively intact, and the findings were: Improvements were in form of improved strength, range-of-motion, reduced spasticity and tone, flexibility, and motor capability in general. *** Regular therapy and electrical stimulation was less than half as effective!

Research resources Electrical Stimulation Driving Functional Improvements and Cortical Changes in Subjects With Stroke. (2003) Teresa J. Kimberley, Scott M. Lewis, Edward J. Auerbach, Lisa L. Dorsey, Jeanne M. Lojovich and James R. Carey, University of Minnesota. “Experimental Brain Research”. These findings suggest that NMES may have an important role in stimulating cortical sensory areas allowing for improved motor function. Electromyographically triggered electric muscle stimulation for chronic hemiplegia. (1987) R.W. Fields, Arch. Phys. Med.Rehabil 68(7):407-14. Progress often far exceeded that of previous conventional therapy. Regarding mechanisms, impaired proprioceptive feedback is considered central to stroke-disrupted sensorimotor control. EMG-triggered EMS is intended to improve brain relearning by reinstating proprioceptive feedback time-locked to each attempted movement. Clinical results were consistent with this theory. Mental Practice of Motor Skills used in poststroke Rehabilitation has Own Effects on Central Nervous Activation. (1994). T. Weiss, Ellen Hansen, R. Rost, L. Beyer, F. Merten, Christa Nichelmann, and C. Zippel. Intern J. Neuroscience, 1994, Vol. 78, pp 1 57-166. It has been shown that the use of the EMG triggered electrical myostimulation (ETEM) brings good results in poststroke. The technique is most powerful if imagination of motor acts (the so called mental practice) is used as an initial part of ETEM. Home-based electromyography-triggered stimulation in chronic stroke. (2005). Clin Rehabil 19(7) 737-745. ETMS use is feasible in the home environment. Neither participation in a traditional home exercise program nor ETMS use conveyed changes on the Fugl-Meyer or Action Research Arm Test. However, ETMS use increased active affected limb extension. This new movement may provide a potential pathway for subjects to participate in other interventions, such as modified constraint induced therapy.

SMART Balance Master by Neurocom Moving platform posturography,: also called computerized dynamic posturography (CDP): method of quantifying balance. Description: The PRO Balance Master® provides objective assessment and retraining of the sensory and voluntary motor control of balance with visual biofeedback on either a stable or unstable support surface. VESTIBULAR REHAB. Utility in malingering. Fall Risk Assessment and Balance conditioning. Useful for identifying pts who could benefit from vestibular rehab and which balance system is involved Moveable Forceplate and surround. EMG option. Availability for demo: TWU Other clinics (Shepherd, BIR, fairly common) Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L72Vx_F-b18 (1:51)
Slide 14-

Balance Master Visual feedback or conventional balance training in addition to regular therapy affords no added benefit when offered in the early stages of rehabilitation following stroke. –Walker, et al. 2000. No additional effects compared to traditional PT -Geiger, et al. 2001 Improves standing balance, impact on independence is unclear. The results of seven clinical trials indicated that providing feedback from a force platform resulted in patients standing more evenly but did not improve balance during active functional activities, nor did it improve overall independence.- Goddard, et al. 2009.
Slide 15-

Balance Master Trunk balance in the acute stage of stroke is a functional outcome predictor. Clinical examination of balance is done in daily practice when stroke patients are assessed in rehabilitation units, but it is not usually done in a standardized and objective way. Correlate outcome measures/clinical scales with specific motor results such as walking speed, distance walking perimeter and balance, measured with computerized systems such as posturography. - J Rehabil Med 2002; 34: 267–272. TRUNK CONTROL TEST AS A FUNCTIONAL PREDICTOR IN STROKE PATIENTS. E. Duarte, et al. No statistically significant effects in function. -Van Peppen 2006. Only a few studies look at long-term effects. Dynamic balance function of patients in the visual feedback training group had significant improvements when compared with the control group. Activities of daily living (ADL) function in self-care and sphincter control, also had significant improvements at 6 months follow up in the trained group. Less improvement for locomotion on FIM. The results showed that balance training was beneficial for patients after hemiplegic stroke. -Chen ,et al. 2002

Armeo (Boom-Spring-Power) Suitable for individuals who have suffered strokes, traumatic brain injuries, or neurological disorders resulting in hand and arm impairment.
Slide 17-

How does it work? Video: http://www.hocoma.com/en/products/armeo/armeo-spring/ Adjustable arm support with a highly sensitive hand grip and videogame-like exercises to simulate arm movements used in specific real-life tasks Exercises are carried out in the virtual environment on a computer screen, providing you with goal-oriented tasks and giving you immediate visual feedback. Because the weight of the arm is counterbalanced in the arm support, you can use residual neuromuscular control to perform the exercises and gradually build strength in your arm. Built-in sensors and software record arm movements at each joint, so you and your therapist can track your improvement, determine the appropriate difficulty level for you and customize your training program as you progress.

Clinical studies 87% of participants who received Armeo training demonstrated motor improvements in their arm compared to 69% of subjects who completed conventional arm exercise More than 80% of all participants preferred Armeo to conventional exercises and would recommend the Armeo exercises over conventional exercises. On the Fugl-Meyer clinical test; both groups had the same training time and therapist supervision. * (RIC study) The latest clinical findings show that therapeutic methods that are based on active, high-intensity, task-specific movement training are superior to traditional methods

Ambulating stroke patients show improvements with the Lokomat system as well but require a challenging and variable training program either via therapist assisted or Lokomat assisted locomotor training.• Locomotor improvements might depend on an early training onset as well as a high number of repetitions which can be applied with the Lokomat system.
Slide 24-

Lokomat Research Summary: Lokomat training combined with physical therapy has some promising effects on functional and motor outcomes in sub-acute, non- ambulatory stroke patients in comparison with physical therapy alone. Despite the small number of patients, the present data suggest that the Lokomat robotic assistive device provides innovative possibilities for gait training in stroke rehabilitation while eliminating prolonged repetitive movements in a nonergonomic position on the part of the physical therapist. Although there were no differences between ambulatory groups in gain of functional scores, the Lokomat group showed an advantage over conventional physiotherapy by improving gait symmetry and body tissue composition. In ambulatory stroke survivors, with mild to moderate deficits, therapist assisted treadmill training may be superior to Lokomat assisted training. For ambulatory, sub-acute stroke patients with moderate to severe gait impairments, the diversity of conventional gait training interventions appear to be more effective than robotic-assisted gait training. MALADAPTIVE ambulatory
Slide 25-

Significantly better effects of robotic assisted treadmill training in comparison to therapist assisted treadmill training, though both groups improved in various locomotor tests. In these studies acute/subacute stroke patients with the inability to ambulate without assistance were trained within the first three months. Manually assisted treadmill training has proven to be rather difficult in these patients due to their reduced body weight support, lack of distal control, and high demand on PTs. -Schwartz et al. (2009) Systematic review. 414 CVA subjects. Electromechanical-assisted gait training combined with physiotherapy, improves recovery of independent walking and walking distance in patients who could initially not walk independently -(Mehrholz et al., 2007). Studies comparing efficacy of either robotic assisted locomotor training (LT) or therapist assisted Review of 30 articles (14 RCTs, 16 non-RCTs) Limited evidence – beneficial for improving walking function in populations of patients with CVA, MS, TBI, or PD Teffertiller, et al -2011

Myomo FDA approved Brain injury rehabilitation by muscle re-education Maintain or increase range of motion
Slide 27-

How does it work? Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvpFpZC4UZk&feature=player_embedded The arm brace has EMG sensors that sit on the skin's surface and detect even a very faint muscle signal. Person with weak or partially paralyzed arm tries to move their arm and a muscle signal fires, the robotics in the mPower 1000 engage to assist in completing the desired movement. In helping achieve desired movement, the device can be worn as a functional aid, used during exercise to maintain gains or applied as a rehabilitation device that re-teaches arm movement to the brain.
Slide 28-

Research Resources Based on a completed clinical research study at University of Cincinnati, Myomo has developed the PERL Technique, a set of research-based treatment plans that integrate the mPower 1000 into therapy programs that aim to increase functional activity. (Push-Eat-Reach-Lift) The device has been clinically tested with scientific partners that are experts in stroke upper extremity rehabilitation. Their partnership along with the help of over 50 stroke subjects has allowed us to come up with clinical protocols and guidelines that work for both acute and chronic patients. These guidelines are given to our certified therapists during our CE accredited training for PTs and OTs. Electromyography-Controlled Exoskeletal Upper-Limb-Powered Orthosis for Exercise Training after Stroke. (2007). Stein J., et al. Am. J. Phys. Med. Rehabil. Vol. 86. The Myomo device may serve as a therapy gateway for severe chronic patients who are so impaired that they currently are ineligible for other upper extremity stroke treatments (Title Unknown). (2000). Lipert J. et al. Stroke. 31:1210-6 Shows that task-based repetitive training may facilitate neural plasticity with concomitant improved motor abilities and enhanced functional performance InREACH Study In December 2010, a randomized control study of 30 subjects was completed. The goal of the study has been to compare therapy with Myomo to standard treatment. Currently, thirty chronic stroke survivors are receiving six weeks of therapy three times per week for one hour. The treatment sessions focus on three outcome measures that have been proven to be valid and reliable in the literature. The outcome measures include the Fugl Meyer ( Impairment Measure ), COPM ( Functional Measure) and the SF36 ( Quality of Life Measure ). Additionally, kinematic data is being collected. The initial outcome measures have been very promising, with patient improvement seen in all areas. Publication of the first data set is pending.

GAITRite Precise, objective gait analysis is necessary to quantify changes in gait and identify fall risk Dual task (7) NP testing revealed mild deficits in attention and executive functioning so it was concluded that the cognitive impairment was responsible for gait disorder and recurrent falls while dual-tasking. She had normal gait with fast and slow speed as well as leisurely. As previously mentioned, walking is a complex motor task, yet generally performed automatically by healthy adults. The attentional demands are therefore minimal. In older adults, age-related neuromotor changes such as reduced motor strength or decreased sensory input (vision, hearing, proprioception) increase the attentional demands needed for walking. This increased demand is met at the cost of a reduction in the central processing capacity for attentional reserve High agreement between temporospatial gait parameters derived from an electronic walkway and a video-based motion capture system in healthy and chronic stroke subjects (8). Able to quantify variants in stroke gait compared to normal and with assistive device (9). Slower gait speed and worse performance on: swing time variability, double support phase, stride length variability: associated with higher risk of falls. Quantitative gait markers are independent predictors of falls in older adults. (597 adults followed up for incident fall rate) (10). Effect of AFO: Improved gait in CVA with AFO donned. Future study on types of AFO and timing in recovery (11). Temporal asymmetry can be found in many independently ambulating stroke patients. There is a need for a standard assessment of poststroke gait symmetry in light of the complex relationship with motor impairment and velocity (13). Quantitative gait measures predict future risk of cognitive decline and dementia in initially non-demented older adults (14).

More Info Used in over 200 clinics in the USA including: Courage Center, MN; Craig Hospital, CO; CORE, Fl; Total Rehab Care, MD; Shepard Center, GA; Sheltering Arms,VA; Woodrow Wilson Rehab Center, VA RT300 may facilitate improvements that help patients reach functional gains in a shorter time period. While it should not be used in place of a functional activity, it can certainly be used as an adjunctive therapy. In a rehab setting, it is more typically used for shorter durations to impact a more task specific goal, such as breaking up spasticity or neuro re-education. "There is almost no patient with upper motor neuron weakness that can't benefit from some type of FES cycling. It has benefits for cardiovascular conditioning, strength, reciprocal gait patterns and tone modulation." Darryl Kaelin, M.D., Medical Director for the Acquired Brain Injury Program at Shepherd Center in Atlanta, GA.

Research Resources Cycling induced by electrical stimulation improves motor recovery in postacute hemiparetic patients: a randomized controlled trial. (2011). Ambrosini E, et al. Stroke. 42(4):1068-73. The study demonstrated that 20 sessions of FES cycling training significantly improved lower extremity motor functions and accelerated the recovery of overground locomotion in postacute hemiparetic patients. Improvements were maintained at follow-up. Bilateral upper limb training with functional electric stimulation in patients with chronic stroke. (2009). Chan, M. K., Tong, R. K., Chung, K. Y. Neurorehabil Neural Repair. 23(4):357-65. This study was a double-blinded randomized controlled trial. At baseline comparison, there was no significant difference in both groups. After 15 training sessions, the FES group had significant improvement on the Fugel-Meyer and Functional Test for the Hemiplegic Upper Extremity, and active range of motion of wrist extension when compared with the control group.
