Summary SurgiTel’s hybrid loupes incorporate our patented suspended magnification technology by positioning magnification oculars at the lowest point within a rimless bottom frame. This strategic placement, combined with the pantoscopic tilt of our lenses, creates an ergonomic loupe with a steep declination angle that is comparable to a deflection loupe (see Figure 4). The suspended ...
Krabbe disease is characterized by mutations in the GALC gene which lead to loss of motor function. All subjects treated to date have also exhibited improved motor activity and normal brain development, which would not be anticipated in the absence of systemic gene transfer of the GALC gene. ...
These procedures require high visual magnification and specialized precision instruments as well as advanced fine motor skills. Supermicrosurgery is microsurgery on an even smaller scale. ...
Eric Leuthardt has contributed to two recently published studies showing proof that brain-computer interface therapy with the IpsiHand benefits the brain's motor networks and also motor recovery in chronic stroke patients with extended usage. Brain-Computer Interface – The Future of Rehabilitation Brain-computer interface rehabilitation using the IpsiHand ...
It is thus very easy to provide a comprehensive combination of competitive, challenging therapy games, precise, concentration-enhancing exercises as well as contemplative, stress-reducing applications without much effort. Testing patients' basic skills Another novelty is the testing of 6 basic patient skills: Range of Motion, Accuracy, Memory, Reaction, ...
Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for its Neuro-Motor PenTM (“NMP”) device. Breakthrough Designation has been granted for the proposed indication of using the NeuroMotor PenTM to support health care providers (HCPs) in differentiating between Parkinsonian and non-Parkinsonian tremors in adult patients who are suspected to have Parkinson’s Disease ...
The device enables users to record non-invasively and analyse parameters of minute limb and hand motion, enabling quantification of fine motor skill. These parameters are used as ‘digital biomarkers’ to provide objective information to clinicians about movement abnormalities, thus supporting diagnosis and monitoring of Parkinson’s Disease and ...
Modular training units in a VR environment playfully support cognitive and sensorimotor rehabilitation to promote motor skills of the upper extremities and trunk. CUREO supports patient motivation and thereby leads to enhanced therapeutic success. ...
Taghizadeh explains: “AVRA’s surgical intelligence software is being developed to enable surgeons to deliver a level of accuracy, precision and reproducibility never before seen, by enhancing a surgeon’s fine motor skills with the ability of a surgical robot to perform delicate tasks with absolute precision”. “AVRA’s advanced ...
An easily performed objective test of fine motor skill could aid in the diagnosis and management of those with suspected or established dementia. ...
In the first stage, attacks of reduced blood flow to the fingers and toes (Raynaud's phenomenon) occur, which causes pain and impaired fine motor skills. Later during the course of the disease, patients are at risk for digital ulcers, which are extremely painful, and difficult-to-heal wounds on the fingers and/or toes. ...
SEATTLE – Oct. 5, 2015 – Today Cadence Biomedical, maker of Kickstart®, which helps people with neurological conditions recover to walking, announced a new research collaboration with the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) to study stroke survivors’ ability to adapt and improve motor skills after using the Kickstart device. Dr. Mukul ...
