“…The selected participants' age range was 4 up to 12 years old, because according to clinical practice and the suggestion of neurology and rehabilitation specialists, participants within this age range show significant motor performance progress in short rehabilitation time. Cognitively, participants had an average visuomotor age of 5.22 ± 2.44 years (Bender Koppitz Test [24]) to follow up the given assessment protocol. The Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) [25], levels I and II, and the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) [25], levels I and II, were also considered participant selection criteria in this study.…”

“…Preventive procedures and recommendations were carefully followed to avoid COVID-19 spread among the study participants, such as sanitizer and antibacterial gel application, temperature checking, and keeping healthy distance. In order to determine if the participants were able to follow the required indications in the NUI assessment process, and be included in the study, each participant's cognitive level was evaluated by a psychologist through the Bender Kopitz Visuomotor Scale test [24] in second stage (S2). According to the psychologist's suggestion, participants with mental age deficits capable to follow indications were included in the study.…”

Quantitative Upper Limb Assessment With Natural User Interface in Children With Hemiparesis

Quantitative, efficient, and accurate measurement of upper limb motor performance is relevant for monitoring upper limb progress in daily activities of people with cerebral palsy, which is helpful to define an appropriate rehabilitation procedure. Currently, motion capture sensors using a Natural User Interface (NUI) are the most feasible solutions due to the low-cost implementation, portability, and effectiveness for upper limb motion analysis. A quantitatively assessment study of the upper limb motor performance for children with spastic hemiparesis using the NUI Kinect v2 sensor is described in this paper. The study participants were eighteen children with an average age of 8.28 ± 2.32 years having a Manual Ability Classification System level I and II. The assessment was done for each participant before and after the application of a Modified Constrained-Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT) applied five days a week along twelve weeks. According to obtained results significant differences (p<0.05) in the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) score for motor performance in abduction movement of upper limb between the first and last sessions were quantitatively detected. The described NUI assessment method helped to quantitatively show that the applied therapy sessions were effective to improve upper extremity motor performance. Additionally, the upper limb movements motorically limited after the rehabilitation therapy were also identified. The main contribution of the described NUI assessment method is its potential use as a quantitative measurement tool, which might be used by specialists to objectively diagnose and consequently define an appropriate rehabilitation therapy for patients with hemiparesis.

“…In the specific case of the visual arts modality (drawing, illustration, painting, collage, photography and sculpture), art therapy not only prevails as a clinical intervention tool (Cheng et al, 2021;Hass-Cohen et al, 2021;Tang et al, 2021) but also as a diagnostic tool (Akhavan Tafti et al, 2021;Goldner et al, 2021;Grenimann Bauch and Bat Or, 2021), which gives it a versatile and innovative character, and which distinguishes it from the other art therapy modalities. Bearing in mind the above, and given the variety of studies and publications in this regard, it is of interest to have a more in-depth view of the scope and characteristics of the existing research; bibliometrics is the ideal instrument for this objective since by using bibliometric indicators, it is possible to evaluate scientific activity in any discipline or area of knowledge, and thus determine different basic categories that define who the producing people, institutions or countries are, how much they produce, what the impact of their publications is and how they collaborate with each other (Rodríguez Gutiérrez and Gómez Velasco, 2017).…”

Trends in Research on Art Therapy Indexed in the Web of Science: A Bibliometric Analysis

et al. 2021

Aim: Despite the increase in international research in art therapy, few studies have been developed with a bibliometric approach which describe the situation regarding this area of knowledge. Thus, the aim of this study is to describe and contextualize international scientific production in the visual arts modality in the context of artistic therapies, to offer a broader and more in-depth vision of the structure of this area of knowledge through of a bibliometric analysis of the publications indexed in the core collection of the Web of Science.Methods: This is a retrospective, exploratory and descriptive, cross-sectional study to analyze the bibliographic data retrieved from the databases of the core collection. The analysis parameters included the data corresponding to the production according to type of document, country, journal, and institution. In addition, the main lines of research were located and classified and the subject matter of the most cited articles in each of them was summarized. Four periods were selected, between 1994 and 2020, to facilitate the thematic analysis and offer an evolutionary perspective of art therapy research.Results: A total of 563 works were published, in 250 journals, in the 63 years between 1958, when the first document was published, and April 2021. The annual growth rate was 7.3% with a mean average of 8.7 publications per year, and 83.13% of the published works were articles. A total of 1,269 authors from 56 countries were counted. The mean number of citations per document was 5.6 and the mean number of citations per document and year was 0.6. The main research domains were psychology and/or rehabilitation and the highest production on this topic was concentrated in only three journals. In general, a high degree of variability was observed in the study topics and numerous theoretical and methodological articles. The most used visual arts modalities were in the main drawing, painting and photography.Conclusion: This work did not find previous existence of any bibliometric analysis on the international scientific production in art therapy. In general terms, there has been a substantial growth in the number of publications on the subject over the last decade. However, this research area does not appear to have peaked, but, on the contrary, is still growing and progressing despite its long history in clinical practice.
