Mechanical rheological model on the assessment of elasticity and viscosity in tissue inflammation: A systematic review.

Understanding the extent of inflammation is crucial for early disease detection, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating treatment responses. Over the past decade, researchers have demonstrated the need to understand the extent of inflammation through qualitative or quantitative characterization of tissue viscoelasticity using different techniques. In this scientific review, an examination of research on the association between elasticity and Viscosity in diseases, particularly as tissue inflammation progresses, is conducted.

A Systematic Review of Virtual Reality and Robot Therapy as Recent Rehabilitation Technologies Using EEG-Brain-Computer Interface Based on Movement-Related Cortical Potentials.

To enhance the treatment of motor function impairment, patients' brain signals for self-control as an external tool may be an extraordinarily hopeful option. For the past 10 years, researchers and clinicians in the brain-computer interface (BCI) field have been using movement-related cortical potential (MRCP) as a control signal in neurorehabilitation applications to induce plasticity by monitoring the intention of action and feedback. Here, we reviewed the research on robot therapy (RT) and virtual reality (VR)-MRCP-based BCI rehabilitation technologies as recent advancements in human healthcare.

Design of a Smart Elbow Brace as a Home-Based Rehabilitation Device.

Poststroke and traumatic elbow injuries are the most common cause of elbow stiffness, which results in loss of functional range of motion (ROM). Various studies support early mobilization of the elbow joint after injury or after surgery to reduce risks of elbow stiffness development. After hospitalization, patients are required to follow a long-term rehabilitation program during home recovery.
