Overview:

Neurorehab Plan of Care after a Traumatic Event (Stroke, SCI, TBI)

• Conceptual framework for neurorehab plan of care:
  • Healing via spontaneous recovery and through rehab
  • Diagnosis, prognosis, intervention, assessment, outcomes
  • Contrasting examples
• Review of "systems" analysis of this framework, as an optimization problem (from Module 1)
• Conventional Approaches to Diagnosis, Intervention and Outcomes Assessment
  • Patient records (paper, electronic)
  • Scales ("instruments" "forms" "measures") - by trained observer and/or self-report
  • Objective (sensor-based) measures (not common, but examples from PT, speech, gait)
• Prognosis process and Med-Predict dynamic prognosis model using fuzzy inference system (Module 4 in BIEN 269)
• Example: Stroke Neurorehab

Neurorehab Assessment Approaches

• General Assessment and Intervention Tools
  • Objectives
  • Roles for assessment
  • Scales and Instruments
  • Terminology
• Neurorehab Assessment Scales
  • Categories and examples
  • Considerations for administering scales via telerehab tools

Overview of Innovative Tools and Approaches for Neurorehab

• Classification for Innovation: Assessment, intervention/therapy, activity monitoring (e.g., wearable)
• Overview of Intervention Approaches and Alternative Tools/Strategies
• Example: UniTherapy Software for Assistive/Remote Therapy and Teleassessment
  • Structural organization of package (Guest lecture by Xin "Tyre" Feng)
  • Homework: Hands-on assessment of features in the UniTherapy package
