An overview of housing assessment tools developed or adapted for research use in East and Southeast Asia is currently lacking. A scoping review was conducted to address this knowledge gap. PubMed, Web of Science and CINAHL were searched for relevant scientific literature, and 22 articles were selected. Besides study-specific checklists, two assessment tools validated for use in Asia and three validated in other countries were identified. The tools were limited in scope and mostly concerned potential injury hazards. Issues such as indoor temperature and housing accessibility also need to be included to comprehensively assess the home environment in Asian countries.

“…The tDCS and VR are safe non-invasive techniques according to current knowledge ( 24 , 82 ). Two systematic reviews of tDCS in children with CP ( 83 ) and paediatric motor disorders ( 22 ) found that a large number of individuals have been involved in studies with tDCS since 2014 and noted a small number of adverse effects such as erythematous rash, mild skin burn, redness, and tingling of the skin. The use of Virtual reality presented some adverse symptomatology (especially with immersive VR and commercial games) such as nausea, dizziness, disorientation, frustration for the failure of the interface to detect movement or actions, and difficulty with hand-held interfaces, mainly in positioning users with movement and postural impairments ( 84 ).…”

“…Transcranial direct current stimulation is a non-invasive neuromodulatory technique that produces benefits in the sensorimotor and physiological functions of individuals with different neurological deficits ( 21 ), including individuals with CP [see the review by ( 22 )]. The tDCS uses low electrical current (1–2 mA) to modulate the resting potential of neurons below the stimulated site ( 23 ).…”

“…Spampinato et al ( 25 ) showed that the combination of tDCS with a task using reward characteristics produced neurophysiological modulation of inhibitory networks, and it resulted in enhanced retention of the learned task. Thus, it can be used during fine motor tasks [to reinforce learning of coordinative tasks; ( 26 )], global movements [to increase range of movement; ( 22 )] and physical activities [in order to facilitate motor activities; ( 12 )], and to improve heart and autonomic conditions ( 27 ).…”

Effect of Combined Therapy of Virtual Reality and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Children and Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy: A Study Protocol for a Triple-Blinded Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and therapy-based virtual reality (VR) have been investigated separately. They have shown promise as efficient and engaging new tools in the neurological rehabilitation of individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). However, the recent literature encourages investigation of the combination of therapy tools in order to potentiate clinic effects and its mechanisms. Methods: A triple-blinded randomised sham-controlled crossover trial will be performed. Thirty-six individuals with gross motor function of levels I to IV (aged 4–14 years old) will be recruited. Individuals will be randomly assigned to Group A (active first) or S (sham first): Group A will start with ten sessions of active tDSC combined with VR tasks. After a 1-month washout, this group will be reallocated to another ten sessions with sham tDCS combined with VR tasks. In contrast, Group S will carry out the opposite protocol, starting with sham tDCS. For the active tDCS the protocol will use low frequency tDCS [intensity of 1 milliampere (mA)] over the primary cortex (M1) area on the dominant side of the brain. Clinical evaluations (reaction times and coincident timing through VR, functional scales: Abilhand-Kids, ACTIVLIM-CP, Paediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory-PEDI- and heart rate variability-HRV) will be performed at baseline, during, and after active and sham tDCS. Conclusion: tDCS has produced positive results in treating individuals with CP; thus, its combination with new technologies shows promise as a potential mechanism for improving neurological functioning. The results of this study may provide new insights into motor rehabilitation, thereby contributing to the better use of combined tDCS and VR in people with CP. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT04044677. Registered on 05 August 2019.
