Functional recovery prediction during rehabilitation after rotator cuff tears by decision support system.

Background: Today's rehabilitation decision-making still relies on conventional methods and different specific targeted rehabilitation protocols. Our study focuses on the decision support system for early rehabilitation after rotator cuff (RC) tears repair, where a multicriteria decision-making framework (MCDM) is applied for the prediction of successful functional recovery and selection of a rehabilitation protocol.

Objective: To identify factors that affect recovery outcomes and to develop a decision support system methodology for predicting functional recovery outcomes at early rehabilitation after RC repair.

Analysis of Functional Recovery and Subjective Well-Being after Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Rotator cuff tears are common causes of functional shoulder instability and often lead to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. A well-programmed rehabilitation leads to successful tendon healing, positive functional recovery and subjective well-being (SWB). To evaluate the changes in shoulder functioning and SWB pre-, post-outpatient rehabilitation and after one-month follow-up.

Influence of New Technologies on Post-Stroke Rehabilitation: A Comparison of Armeo Spring to the Kinect System.

Background: New technologies to improve post-stroke rehabilitation outcomes are of great interest and have a positive impact on functional, motor, and cognitive recovery. Identifying the most effective rehabilitation intervention is a recognized priority for stroke research and provides an opportunity to achieve a more desirable effect.

Objective: The objective is to verify the effect of new technologies on motor outcomes of the upper limbs, functional state, and cognitive functions in post-stroke rehabilitation.

Necessity of early-stage verticalization in patients with brain and spinal cord injuries: Preliminary study.

Background: Integration of the verticalization robot, Erigo, with functional electric stimulation and passive leg movements in the postacute rehabilitation of neurological patients could reduce the risk of secondary complications and improve functional outcomes (i.e. orthostatic hypotension, postural control and walking ability).

Effects of robot-assisted training on upper limb functional recovery during the rehabilitation of poststroke patients.

Background: The study aims to determine the effectiveness of robot-assisted training in the recovery of stroke-affected arms using an exoskeleton robot Armeo Spring.

Objective: To identify the effect of robot training on functional recovery of the arm.

Methods: A total of 34 stroke patients were divided into either an experimental group (EG; n= 17) or a control group (n= 17).
