Brazil has a prevalence of 1.3% disabled people. Regarding the physical impairments related to neurological pathologies, they generate functional disability worldwide. Thus, this work aimed to carry out scientific and technological research on research on the use of focal vibration associated with wearable mobile devices in individuals with motor impairments resulting from neurological pathologies. In the searc...
The working memory is a system that allows the temporary storage and manipulation of information, it is largely involved in machine learning, making decision and reasoning. Studies relate the working memory with learning and indicate improved performance through working memory training. To carry out the studies, a software (computer programs) is required to perform the working memory tasks and to provide the su...
Among millions of people who may be infected with COVID-19, patients with cardiovascular disease and cancer exhibit the highest risks of having worse outcomes. These patients are subject to chronic disease decompensation and may be subjected to cross infection while visiting health facilities that are taking care of COVID-19 infected patients. Infrared thermography is a radiation-free, relatively inexpensive, n...
Introduction: Among millions of people who may be infected with COVID-19, patients with cardiovascular and oncologic diseases exhibit the highest risks of having worse outcomes. These patients are subject to chronic disease decompensation and may be subjected to cross-infection while visiting health facilities that are taking care of COVID-19 infected patients. Objective: To present scientific evidence and prop...
A Doença de Charcot-Marie-Tooth (DCMT) é a neuropatia periférica hereditária mais comum em seres humanos, apresentando incidência de 1:2.500 pessoas. A fraqueza distal crural na DCMT provoca inúmeras alterações na marcha, como, por exemplo, na velocidade, no comprimento, na largura e cadência dos passos. Vários recursos em reabilitação têm sido propostos para gerenciar os problemas de deambulação, dentre eles, ...
Problem statement: Nerves are frequently injured by traumatic lesions, such as crushing, compression (entrapment), stretching, partial and total extraction, resulting in damages to the transmission of nerve impulses and to the reduction or loss of sensitivity, to the motility and to the reflexes of the innervated area. The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of a rehabilitation program that last...
Problem statement: Mental Practice (MP) with motor imagery consists of a method of training in which motor imagery is used to improve performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of MP with motor imagery on motor recovery of the paretic upper limb of poststroke patients in comparison with MP with non-motor imagery. Approach: Four post-stroke patients were divided into two groups: experimen...
