Treatment of Bell’s palsy by combination of Laser and Kabat rehabilitation: a case study

This study examined the role of Kabat Rehabilitation and laser therapy in Bell's palsy patient, and its effectiveness in physical and social function. Individuals with Bell's palsy, which produces the facial mimicry, it’s crucial for rehabilitation of facial muscle paralysis. PNF enforces and encourages the muscular action on the weaker side of the face, it enables patients with Bell's palsy perform better physically and socially. Therefore, the effectiveness of Kabat therapy in conjunction with Laser was proven in this investigation. The study was conducted at the outpatient department (OPD), Neuro Physiotherapy, Dr. APJ AK COPT. Patient received the Kabat rehabilitation therapy, as well as laser therapy. In this study, results were found significant in HBS and FDI scale comparing pre and post scores by progressing from moderate to normal on grading and progression of 30% on FDI scale. Hence, we conclude that this intervention could be an adjunct intervention in rehabilitation of Bell’s palsy. Physiotherapy Program including Laser therapy and Kabat rehabilitation for 3 weeks had shown significant on the treatment of Bell’s palsy. Hence, it has proven that it could be used as an adjunct intervention on patient with Bell’s palsy

Hardware-In-The-Loop and Software-In-The-Loop Testing of the MOVE-II CubeSat

This article reports the ongoing work on an environment for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) tests of CubeSats and the benefits gained from using such an environment for low-cost satellite development. The satellite tested for these reported efforts was the MOVE-II CubeSat, developed at the Technical University of Munich since April 2015. The HIL environment has supported the development and verification of MOVE-II’s flight software and continues to aid the MOVE-II mission after its launch on 3 December 2018. The HIL environment allows the satellite to interact with a simulated space environment in real-time during on-ground tests. Simulated models are used to replace the satellite’s sensors and actuators, providing the interaction between the satellite and the HIL simulation. This approach allows for high hardware coverage and requires relatively low development effort and equipment cost compared to other simulation approaches. One key distinction from other simulation environments is the inclusion of the electrical domain of the satellite, which enables accurate power budget verification. The presented results include the verification of MOVE-II’s attitude determination and control algorithms, the verification of the power budget, and the training of the operator team with realistic simulated failures prior to launch. This report additionally presents how the simulation environment was used to analyze issues detected after launch and to verify the performance of new software developed to address the in-flight anomalies prior to software deployment
