Abstract:
Post-stroke sexual difficulties are common but sexuality is an area frequently neglected within stroke rehabilitation. This study aimed to explore the process by which healthcare professionals approach and work with the topic of sexuality within stroke rehabilitation. This was hoped to improve understanding of why current guidelines around addressing post-stroke sexual issues are not followed, and what would support professionals to meet patients’ needs. Ten healthcare professionals working within stroke rehabilitation were interviewed, covering a range of disciplines and settings. The data wa

The aim of the work is to design and prototype an autonomous stroke rehabilitation system using the Microsoft Kinect camera that allows patients to undergo their rehab therapy from home without the constant need of specialized staff involvement in the rehab process. The rehab system tracks and computes a set of measurable indicators that reflect the rehab progress. Today, patients that have suffered a stroke usually have to visit specialized centers to perform the rehabilitation program.

Abstract:
Stroke is a major cause of disability worldwide. For rehabilitation to be effective, it must be early, intensive and repetitive. Stroke rehabilitation starts in hospital, where a structured plan of exercise for the stroke survivor is designed and facilitated by a physiotherapist. Once the patient is discharged, however, supervised therapy sessions can be very infrequent and often people with stroke find it difficult to remain motivated and engaged in rehabilitation programmes when in the home environment. New technology, exploiting natural user interfaces, may offer opportunities for people wi

Abstract:
Stroke is the third largest cause of death in Sweden. In 2005, 30.000 people in Sweden suffered from a stroke. The consequences of a stroke varies, but the most common disability among stroke survivors is abnormal reaching movements, which is the primer reason for limitations in activities of everyday living. Rehabilitation is essential in order to get back to everyday life. Physical assistance (or guidance) is used in rehabilitation by physiotherapists and occupational therapists to help a patient through a dicult movement for example.

Stroke can affect all levels of the auditory system (from the inner ear to the central tracts), and may result in various types of auditory dysfunctions, such as peripheral hearing loss (cochlea to auditory nerve), disordered auditory processing (brainstem to cortex), and cortical deafness. Hearing-impaired stroke survivors have an increased risk of physical decline after discharge to the community. This may be attributed to restricted participation in post-acute rehabilitation programs due to the hearing impairment. Furthermore, hearing impairment may have a significant impact on listening, l
