Deans' stroke musings: Inertial Motion Capture Systems

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Inertial Motion Capture Systems

We need this objective analysis of gait problems so bad. Otherwise you get what one of my PTs did, demonstrating walking and saying 'Walk this way' Completely and totally worthless for any stroke patient. Then we could finally get chunking into a stroke protocol and maybe get survivors a better recovery.

Workshop at International Conference on Neurorehabilitation 2016

Next October ICNR 2016 will take place at Segovia (Spain). Framed on this Conference we will give a Workshop focused on human motion capture and neurorehabilitation.

Thus, starting with the basics of this technology through some research studies, it will be evident how the versatility, portability and reliability of the inertial technology increase its potential to be applied in different areas of human biomechanics assessment.

1. Introduction to Inertial Technology.
A brief introduction to Inertial Technology fundaments will underlie the lecture about Inertial Motion Capture Systems applied to human biomechanics, as an objective measurement tool. During the lecture we will go in depth in the extent of these systems stocktaking the advantages and disadvantages in their application on biomechanics.

2. Presentation of Inertial Technology Reliability Validation Studies.
We will introduce the different Validation Studies carried out at the LaSalle’s Biomechanics Laboratory. The most relevant study is about the comparison between Inertial Technology based Motion Capture System and current market referents as Optoelectronic Motion Capture Systems.

3. Movement Valuation During Musculoskeletal Pain. Pathologic Gait Study.
Experimentation will be prioritized. Attendees will have the opportunity to implement their recent knowledge about Inertial Motion Capture Systems by means of different exercises selected to strengthen the use of this technology with an easy and efficient approach, obtaining quick results.

4. Implementation in Neuro-Rehabilitation.
Central nervous system disorders usually come up with different motor disorders. In neuro-rehabilitation area, the improvement on the joints’ motor control could be assisted by inertial systems in order to increase the cognitive impact of the movement, as well as to apply sensitive feedback techniques.
