Expressive Arts-based Intervention for Adults With Age-related Visual Impairment
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is an age-related eye disease resulting in vision loss. Persons with AMD not only experience a gradual loss of ability in independent living, but also profound impairment in psychosocial well-being.The multimodal, expressive arts-based intervention (EXABI) that emphasizes imagination and creativity can be an engaging, enjoyable, and …
Dabigatran for Mitral Stenosis Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrythmia encountered in clinical practice and patients suffer from this are at increased risk of ischemic stroke and systemic thromboembolism due to the formation and embolism of left atrial thrombi. Current international guidelines recommend non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) for stroke …
Multisite Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Promote Hand Function Recovery After Stroke
A novel multisite high definition tDCS (HD-tDCS) in healthy people showed that such network-targeted stimulation could enhance motor excitability beyond traditional stimulation which targeting only one region. It showed that the excitability following multisite HD-tDCS was more than double the increase following conventional tDCS. To consider the various lesion site …
Investigating the Effectiveness of Vibration Therapy on Sarcopenia in Osteoarthritis Knee Patients
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the commonest chronic degenerative conditions affecting our aging population. It limits joint movement and causing disability in elderlies due to discordant symptoms such as pain and stiffness. The prevalence of radiologic knee osteoarthritis increases in proportion to age, reaching an astounding 64.1% for patients whom …
ENMS With Balance Feedback for Post-stroke Ankle-foot Rehabilitation
In this work, a novel hybrid ankle-foot robot is designed for gait rehabilitation after stroke, i.e., exoneuromusculoskeleton with balance sensing feedback (ENMS-BSF) by integrating the advantages of soft pneumatic muscle, functional electrical stimulation, exoskeleton and foot balance feedback in one system. With the assistance of the ENMS-BSF the foot drop …
Transcranial Pulse Stimulation for Depression
Transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) is a newly developed brain stimulation therapy from Austria & Germany with highly promising applicability in neuropsychiatric disorders. Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the world's leading cause of disability.

This evaluation is divided into two integral parts. In the first part, the …
Brain Activity Changes After Structured Cognitive-motor Exercise for People With Stroke
To assess the effects of a dual-task exercise program on cognitive-motor interference during dual-task walking and the associated changes in brain activity.
Effects of Neurofeedback and Transcranial Pulse Stimulation on Attention
The present study aims to examine and compare the effectiveness of transcranial pulse stimulation and neurofeedback among adults who are weak in attention.
