Background Virtual reality (VR) has been used as a technological medium to deliver mirror therapy interventions with people after stroke in numerous applications with promising results. The recent emergence of affordable, off-the-shelf head-mounted displays (like the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive) has opened the possibility for novel and cost-effective approaches for immersive mirror therapy interventions. We have developed one such system, ART-VR, which allows people after stroke to carry out a clinically-validated mirror therapy protocol in an immersive virtual environment and within a clinical setting. Methods A case cohort of 11 people with upper limb paresis following first time stroke at an in-patient rehabilitation facility received three interventions over a one week period. Participants carried out the BeST mirror therapy protocol using our immersive VR system as an adjunct therapy to their standard rehabilitation program. Our clinical feasibility study investigated intervention outcomes, virtual reality acceptance and user experience. Results The results show that the combination of an immersive VR system and mirror therapy protocol is feasible for clinical use. 9 out of 11 participants showed some improvement of their affected hand after the intervention. The vast majority of the participants (9/11) reported experiencing some psycho-physical effects, such as tingling or paraesthesia, in the affected limb during the intervention. Conclusions Our findings show that immersive VR-based mirror therapy is feasible and shows effects comparable to those of conventional mirror therapy. Trial Registration Trial was registered with the ISRCTN Registry (ISRCTN34011164) on December 3, 2021, retrospectively

“…This study was an alternative way to support the interactive physiotherapy analysis and help better understand the entire myocardial system with early diagnosis. Muscle activation via electric potential or electromyography (EMG) has traditionally been measured for diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders in medical research [8]. However, with the advent of ever shrinking yet more powerful microcontrollers and integrated circuits, EMG circuits and sensors have contbuted to prosthetics, robotics, and other control systems [9][10][11] [12].…”

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) becomes a solution to help humans connect with computers. Research and tools related to HCI have been developed by many researchers. HCI is able to help humans connect between humans and computers and humans with humans at a considerable distance. One of HCI model is applied to the MyoWare tool that can capture hand muscle movements using an electromyograph (EMG) sensor. This article describes how to assemble and identify the raw data generated from the MyoWare tool. Using MyoWare on the hand could produce EMG data output. MyoWare only used the EMG sensor and generated data in the form of Envelope EMG and Raw EMG which differed in scale and size. This required a extraction features process to make the data uniform. This study uses the Moment Invariant method to extract features and min-max to normalize each data generated on the MyoWare sensor. Testing was done by doing simple hand movements. The test results showed that the differences in gestures were recognized well even though they were performed in different positions.

“…The p a rt icip a n t performed three maximum voluntary contractions of TA muscle (active dorsiflexion) for 10 seconds with verbal stimulation, with a two-to-three-minute rest period between trials, followed by five consecutive concentric (isotonic) contractions of the TA muscle three times, with a two-to-three-minute rest period between trials [21]. No previous study has been developed to determine the reliability of this equipment for the population of stroke survivors, but the instrument has demonstrated solid, effective results in the investigation of muscle activity in these patients [29,30].…”

Objective: Lower limb motor dysfunction and lack of balance is one of the most common and disabling sequelae affecting stroke. Objectives: Analyze the effects of the combination of Transcranial Direct Stimulation (tDCS) with peripheral stimulation (PES) on the activity of the tibialis anterior (TA) paretic and balance of hemiparetic post stroke.Methods: Participated 36 hemiparetic chronic. The TA was evaluated with EMG by median frequency (MDF)/ root mean square (RMS) and balance by Mini-BES Test. Evaluations were performed three times: pre, post 10 treatment sessions and 30 followup days. To treatment, subjects were randomized in 3 groups: PESa (active) /tDCSp (placebo); PESa /tDCSa and PESp /tDCSa. tDCS anode electrode was applied over injured motor cortex (C1/C2) and cathode uninjured (C1/C2) for 20 min associated with active dorsiflexion and PES for 30 min (active PES was applied over paretic TA and placebo in TA bone portion). The treatment was performed five times a week/2 week.Results: There was no difference in RMS for either group. Intragroup MDF significantly decreased (p <0.05 Repeated measures ANOVA) after 10 days of treatment and follow-up in all groups; intergroup MDF was significantly lower after 10 days and follow-up in the PESa/tDCSa and PESp /tDCSa groups compared to PESa/tDCSp (p <0.05 Repeated measures ANOVA). Balance improved significantly (p= 0.00 Friedman) and clinically important (>3 points) in PESa /tDCSa after 10 days and follow-up there was no difference (p> 0.05 Kruskal-Wallis) between groups. Conclusion:EMG, ETCC did not potentiate PES. In Balance, the combined techniques provided clinical improvement.
