The Integration of Principles of Motor Learning to Reduce Gait Asymmetry Using a Novel Robotic Device in Individuals Chronically Post-Stroke

Unilateral deficits resulting from stroke manifest as reduced velocity, decreased cadence and asymmetries in temporal, spatial and force parameters during ambulation. Gait asymmetries and compensatory strategies employed during gait result in a higher mechanical energy cost that limits activity and community participation. Despite conventional rehabilitation efforts, individuals often remain with chronic gait deficits after stroke. Robotic-based therapies have been developed as an alternative to conventional rehabilitation. These therapies offer the means to provide task-specific training at an intensity greater than that of conventional approaches; however, to date outcomes have been similar to that of conventional training. One factor potentially contributing to the limited efficacy of robotic training is the active-assist control strategy that is often employed. This type of training strategy reduces the users’ engagement in the learning process and limits skilled learning. The tethered pelvic assist device (TPAD) is a robotic device that employs actuated tethers at the pelvis to guide the user along a pre-set movement trajectory. While other robotic devices restrict movement to a fixed trajectory, the TPAD promotes shifting weight onto the paretic limb, but permits users to freely move the limb to navigate spatiotemporal aspects of training independently. This allows individuals to participate in the problem-solving process required for motor learning to occur, facilitating a more active role in the motor task itself, and thus promoting learning. Earlier work utilized the TPAD to reduce gait asymmetry in a population of individuals in the chronic phase after stroke in a single training session (Bishop et al., 2015; Vashista, 2015). Results demonstrated an increase in propulsive forces of the affected limb as a result of the intervention, but these gains did not transfer to overground gait. A follow up study explored the feasibility and efficacy of two different training strategies using the TPAD (Bishop et al., 2017). Both training strategies proved feasible and similarly efficacious. The current work examines the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a five-day intervention using the TPAD with faded visual feedback and a short bout of task-specific overground training to reduce gait asymmetry in a population of individuals at least six months after stroke. Participants underwent a series of three Pre Test assessments within a one-week interval prior to initiating the intervention. Training occurred over five consecutive days, with a Post Test assessment administered on conclusion of Day 5 of training. A one-week Follow Up assessment was also recorded. Results demonstrated this intervention coupling TPAD training with additional tenets of motor learning including visual feedback and salient task-specific overground training was feasible in terms of safety, tolerance and adherence. Further, while participant’s load asymmetry was not significantly reduced on the treadmill from Baseline to Post Training (p >0.05), there was a significant improvement in stance symmetry during overground gait (F = 8.498, p = 0.002). These results suggest that the integration of motor learning tenets with robotic TPAD training was useful in facilitating gains to overground walking. Implications to the broader scope of robotic training suggest that creating an environment in which the user plays a more active role is useful at maximizing effects of robotic training. Future work should include comparison groups (TPAD treadmill training, overground training, and combined TPAD and overground training) with a more robust sample size for a longer duration of training to parse out contributing factors to overground gains. Future work should also consider a longer training and follow up interval in an effort to determine whether individuals are able to maintain improvements longer than the immediate post training period

Integracija izbjeglica : diplomski rad

S obzirom na aktualnu izbjegličku krizu, javlja se pitanje smještaja i integracije izbjeglica u društveni život zajednice. Ideja je kroz arhitektonski proces stvoriti novu tipologiju izbjegličkog stanovanja, koja će im pružiti normalan život te integraciju. Uzimajući u obzir da je arhitektura proces prije nego forma, upravo je ono što čini razliku između logora i urbane forme - naselja. Polazište je smještajni klaster s unutrašnjim dvorištem, čime je omogućena socijalizacija. Kroz analiziranje različitih modela, zatvoreni tip naselja je odbačen kao nedovoljno humana struktura te iz njega proizlazi novi tip otvorenog naselja koji nudi interaktivne sadržaje dostupne izbjeglicama i lokalnom stanovništvu. Na taj način se briše granica i stvara se socijalna kohezija novog i postojećeg. Model je isproban na dvije različite lokacije - Dugopolje i Sinj

This new point of view pretends to enable the plant to be self-sustainable, by increasing the sludge produced in a Pre-concentration step at the inlet of the WWTP, and therefore increasing the biogas produced in the anaerobic digester. In order to reach this goal, a revision of the state of art is carried out; furthermore there is a detailed description of methodology, which comprehends the definition, design and start-up of the pilot plant; the new WWTP is under demonstration due to the pilots already are in start-up phase. Economic feasibility is evaluated taking as a starting point the expected results of the project. Finally the most significant conclusions and lessons learned are summarized

POTRET TRANSPARANSI PENGELOLAAN KEUANGAN DAERAH (TPKD) DI INDONESIA

This study aimed to describe the transparency level of regional financial management (TPKD) in Indonesia, as in the Presidential Instruction (Inpres RI) No. 7 of 2015 on Actions to Prevent and Eradicate Corruption. This research was conducted in 138 local governments (Pemda), and the data was the regional financial management for 2019 fiscal year. The results showed the average TPKD index is 24.36 percent which was achieved by the Provincial Government, while the average index for the City and Regency Government is not very different. Meanwhile, Java regional governments received higher average scores than other regions, but no significant differences. Therefore, these findings showed the TPKD level of Local Governments  is very low and can be said to be non-transparent

A Cable-Driven Pelvic Robot: Human Gait Adaptation and Rehabilitation Studies

Walking is a state of continuous imbalance that requires a complex control strategy and cyclic activation of leg muscles to achieve successful inter‐limb coordination. Neuro‐musculoskeletal impairments, such as stroke, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury, affect one's ability to voluntarily contract muscles to normal amplitudes. This change in muscle activation pattern reduces the joint level torque generation and as a result impairs the ability to walk normally. Technological advances over the last two decades have resulted in the development of rigid link robotic exoskeletons that aim to improve gait deficits. These devices reduce repetitive and manual labor of therapists while providing objective measurement of the therapy during the gait rehabilitation. Despite the development of these robotic devices, no consensus has emerged about the superiority of robot-aided gait rehabilitation over the traditional methods. This may be because of the inherent complexity of the human musculoskeletal system and the constraints that rigid linked systems impose on the human movement. In this work, we present a cable-driven Active Tethered Pelvic Assist Device (A-TPAD) for gait rehabilitation that can apply a controlled external wrench to the human pelvis in any direction and at any point of the gait cycle for a specified duration. The A-TPAD does not add undesirable inertia on the user and does not constrain the user's motion during training. The A-TPAD provides a technological platform to scientifically study human adaptation in gait due to externally applied forces and moments on the pelvis. Human studies with the A-TPAD can motivate new gait rehabilitation paradigms which can potentially be used to correct gait deficits in human walking. The human nervous system is capable of modifying the motor commands in response to alterations in the movement conditions. Several studies have demonstrated the flexibility of human locomotion despite motor impairments and have shown the potential of using such paradigms for gait rehabilitation. In this work, we present a number of human experiments using the cable-driven A-TPAD to propose novel force interventions that induce adaptation in human gait kinematics and kinetics. In particular, stance phase gait interventions have been developed for gait rehabilitation of hemiparetic patients. In these interventions, the external force vector was applied to the pelvis to target weight bearing during walking and to promote longer stance durations. A single-session force training experiment with hemiparetic stroke patients was also conducted as a part of this work. It is shown that hemiparetic stroke patients improved the ground reaction force symmetry, forward propulsion effort, and stance phase symmetry during walking. In this work, the A-TPAD is also used to develop an intervention to apply external gait synchronized forces on the pelvis to reduce the user's effort during walking. The external forces were directed in the sagittal plane to assist the trailing leg during the forward propulsion and vertical deceleration of the pelvis during the gait cycle. A pilot experiment with five healthy subjects was conducted. This study provides a novel approach to study the role of external forces in altering the walking effort, such understanding is important while designing assistive devices for individuals who spend higher than normal effort during walking

ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN FISKAL PEMERINTAH KABUPATEN DAN KOTA DI JAWA TIMUR DALAM TRANSPARANSI DI WEBSITE

This research aims to analyze the relationship between the fiscal capacity of district and city governments in East Java Province with uploading on the website. This research is important to find out the extent to which the Government needs to provide public information that can be accessed by the public and stakeholders, and the existence of transparency that provides a positive image for the government. This type of research is associative research. The population in this study were all-district / city local governments in East Java with a focus on 2017. Based on the criteria determined in the sample selection using purposive sampling techniques, there were 36 local governments used in the study. Research results show that the amount of wealth owned by local governments does not encourage local governments to disclose financial statements on local government websites. While local governments with high levels of leverage tend to cover their financial statements. This can be due to the higher leverage, the lower the funding obtained from creditors. The high level of leverage that is owned by local governments makes creditors will rethink in lending funds because it takes into account the ability to pay long-term obligations. In addition, the use of high debt as a source of regional financing can signal a negative performance of local governments
