Background: Adolescents with hemiplegic cerebral palsy undergo conventional physical therapy (CPT) to improve static and dynamic balance, activities of daily living and cardiopulmonary function. To overcome this problem, we developed an innovative deep learning-based rehabilitation application (DRA) to provide a motivational and chaffed platform for such individuals. DRA evaluates the patients' functional abilities and diagnosis an appropriate therapeutic intervention like CPT.

Metaverse physical therapy (MPT), an adjuvant technology for the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy (CP), has gained notoriety in the clinical field owing to its accessibility and because it provides motivation for rehabilitation. The aim is to compare the gross motor function and cardiopulmonary function, the activities of daily living, quality of life (QOL), and the perceived risk of coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 transmission between MPT and conventional physical therapy (CPT). A convenience sample of 26 children with CP (mean age, 11.

These issues have caused adolescents to change their lifestyles and eating habits. Furthermore, the growth in inactive behavior and computer screen or watching TV time, as well as the reduction in physical activity, could similarly be related with obesity.

Thus, we developed an artificial intelligence-based image recognition detectable sensor (AIRDS) intended for easy use at home.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of a sensor (AIRDS) measuring shoulder abduction angle, thus offering a valid and feasible system for monitoring patients with frozen shoulder.
Study Design: Participant-blinded comparative pre-post randomized controlled trial.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of virtual soccer game on balance, gait function, and kick speed in individuals with spinal cord injuries.
Setting: Forty participants with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) were included.
