Beacon Sensors and Telerehabilitation to Assess and Improve Use of Devices (BeST-AID) for Low Vision
One goal of this research is to conduct a non-inferiority trial of telerehabilitation versus in-office care to provide follow-up training to individuals with low vision to enhance their quality of life by using magnification devices and/or visual assistive mobile apps for important daily activities, such as reading and/or other valued …
Socially Assistive Robots to Enhance Magnification Device Use for Reading
The aims of this exploratory research project are to customize, deploy and evaluate the preliminary efficacy of a socially assistive robot as a novel approach to motivate and encourage optimal, long-term use of new magnification devices for reading in individuals with vision loss. The goals are to promote patient acceptance, …
Obstacle Negotiation in Older People With and Without Vision Impairment
Falls are common among people with vision impairment and can lead to devastating health consequences. Understanding the functions of vision and how the visual characteristics of obstacles in the walking path impact the gait of people with vision impairment is necessary to create strategies to prevent falls in this population. …
Wearable Echolocation Aids Using Parametric Sound
The objective of this study is to study a novel device designed to aid patients with impaired vision to safely navigate their environment. Subjects for this study will be individuals with normal vision, either with or without correction. The subjects will wear a device to simulate impaired vision and will …
Validation of a Virtual Reality Test for the Assessment of Visually Impaired Patients Undergoing Low Vision Rehabilitation
Low vision rehabilitation is a vital part of care for visually impaired patients, who are usually referred to orthoptists to develop visual strategies and optimize residual vision. This rehabilitation significantly improves quality of life by enhancing autonomy and reducing depression. It employs various tools, from traditional exercises to specialized software. …
The Analgesic Efficacy of Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block in Patients Undergoing Primary Total Hip Arthoplasty:
The aim of this study is to investigate the analgesic efficacy of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block during the implantation of hip endoprostheses. The study is designed as a prospective randomized double-blind study and the study participants were randomized into 2 arms and either 20 ml ropivacaine 0.5% (verum …
Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Assisted Visual Impairment Screening Model: Community-based Implementation and Evaluation of Performance, Feasibility and Costs.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the performance, operational efficiency, acceptability, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness of an AI-assisted screening model for visual impairment in a community setting. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the AI-assisted screening model improve screening and referral accuracy compared to the …
Study of Visual Perception Phenomena: Phosphene Mapping Induced by TMS and Its Relationship With Eye Movements
The purpose of this basic science study is to better understand human visual perception. Phosphenes are flashes of light that can be induced using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). The location of these phosphenes is known to change with eye movements, but the exact influence of these movements is not fully …
Touching the World With a Cane: Cognitive and Neural Processes
The use of tools is ubiquitous in our lives and allows us to expand the sensorimotor capacities of our body. Much research has been done on the subject in sighted people over the past decades. This work has mainly focused on the motor aspect of using the tool, neglecting the …
Glaucoma Rehabilitation With Action viDeo Games and Exercise - GRADE
Falls are one of the most serious public health concerns for seniors, with significant medical and economic consequences. This concern is even higher in patients with peripheral field loss due to glaucoma because of the patients' compromised visual input. The investigators' project proposes an innovative, entertaining, easily accessible and enjoyable …
