“…Although social validation assessments have been conducted in a number of previous studies (e.g., Lancioni, O'Reilly, et al, ), no study on MBP interventions with ambulation responses has included expert ratings of social validity. This procedure of social validation via expert raters is commonly used within the assistive technology approach to corroborate the clinical value of the proposed intervention (Caffò et al, ; Stasolla, Caffò et al, ; Stasolla & De Pace, ).…”

We assessed the use of a microswitch-based program for promoting ambulation responses by two children with multiple disabilities. The goals of the study were to: (a) evaluate the importance of the contingency between the target behavior (forward step) and the programmed consequence (preferred stimuli), (b) measure effects of the intervention on indices of happiness, and (c) assess the social validation of the procedure using 20 physiotherapists as external raters. The intervention involved the automatic delivery of preferred stimuli contingent on forward steps. Results showed that both participants improved their performance (forward steps and indices of happiness) during contingent reinforcement phases compared to baseline and noncontingent reinforcement phases. Moreover, physiotherapists rated the intervention as socially valid.

“…Eleven studies are case series made by Lancioni et al Each paper analyzed small groups of AD patients to assess the effectiveness of verbal instructions and/or pictorial cues in helping patients recapture basic activities of daily living, in using a basic orientation technology to travel to relevant destinations into their everyday environment, in choosing among various music options and listening to it, and/or to engage in verbal reminiscence …”

Introduction Worldwide, life expectancy, and aging‐related disorders as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer disease (AD) are increasing, having a rising impact on patients' quality of life and caregivers' distress. Telemedicine offers many possibilities, such as remote diagnosing and monitoring of patients. Objective The purpose of this study is to provide a narrative synthesis of the literature about the implementation of telemedicine for diagnosis, treatment, and follow‐up of patients with AD and MCI and their caregivers. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted on MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases up to September 2018. MCI or AD diagnoses were the conditions of interest. We excluded other dementias. Results Fifty‐six articles met inclusion criteria. We identified two main categories: diagnosis group (DG) and follow‐up/interventional group (FIG). Fifteen articles suggested how to make a remote or earlier diagnosis: four were case‐control accuracy studies, nine were paired comparative accuracy studies, and two were prospective single‐arm accuracy studies. Among these, four focused on MCI, six on AD, and five on both. Forty one focused on supporting patients during the stages of the disease (28 articles), patient's caregivers (nine articles), or both (four articles). Conclusions The rising use of telemedicine could actively improve AD and MCI patients' lives, reduce caregivers' burden, and facilitate an early diagnosis if patients live in remote places. However, as some studies report, it is relevant to take into account the emotional impact of telemedicine on patients and not only on the effectiveness.

“…Caffo и соавт. [56] сравнили эффективность двух программ реабилитации, направленных на обеспечение возможности самостоятельно находить нужный путь внутри помещения, у 4 пациентов с болезнью Альцгеймера. Первая методика была компенсаторной и включала применение дистанционно управляемых звуковых и световых устройств, помогающих выбирать направление движения.…”

В статье описаны симптомы, патогенез, варианты топографической дезориентации. Представлены методы диагностики и реабилитации больных. Сделан вывод, что уточнение варианта топографической дезориентации и определение стратегии компенсации этого расстройства имеет большое значение для совершенствования нейрореабилитации больных с инсультами и другими очаговыми поражениями головного мозга.
