Mindray De Cg 03a Manual Dexterity
Posted : admin On 30.08.2019The purpose of the study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of robot-assisted hand rehabilitation in improving arm function abilities in sub-acute hemiplegic patients.
The Box and Blocks test (Cromwell, 1965) was used as a test of manual dexterity. Manual dexterity is the ability to make skillful, controlled arm-hand manipulation of larger objects (Mathiowetz & Bass-Haugen, 2007). The subject was required to transfer as many blocks from one side of a box, over a divider, to the other side, in one minute. BeneHeart D3 is one compact, durable, light weighted defibrillator which integrated monitoring,manual defibrillation,AED and pacer.It is a professional biphasic defibrillator-monitor suitable for hospitals and clinics use worldwide.
AV5103, introduced june 1996 AV5103 upgraded: Main Processor IC (Zoran IC) Upgraded from A2 to A3 spec -- allows the Limbik software upgrade to function correctly. Serial number making history ii mods. DSP (digital signal processing) section of the circuitry incorporated onto a 'piggy-back' board instead of the main board -- allowing easier future upgrade. Apr 1997 1450 approx Limbik Software Installed as standard.

Randomized controlled pilot study.
Inpatient rehabilitation centers.
Thirty hemiplegic stroke patients (Ashworth spasticity index <3) were recruited and randomly divided into a Treatment group (TG) and Control group (CG).
Patients in the TG received intensive hand training with Gloreha, a hand rehabilitation glove that provides computer-controlled, repetitive, passive mobilization of the fingers, with multisensory feedback. Patients in the CG received the same amount of time in terms of conventional hand rehabilitation.
Hand motor function (Motricity Index, MI), fine manual dexterity (Nine Hole Peg Test, NHPT) and strength (Grip and Pinch test) were measured at baseline and after rehabilitation, and the differences, (Δ) mean(standard deviation), compared between groups.
Twenty-seven patients concluded the program: 14 in the TG and 13 in the CG. None of the patients refused the device and only one adverse event of rheumatoid arthritis reactivation was reported. Baseline data did not differ significantly between the two groups. In TG, ΔMI 23(16.4), ΔNHPT 0.16(0.16), ΔGRIP 0.27(0.23) and ΔPINCH 0.07(0.07) were significantly greater than in CG, ΔMI 5.2(9.2), ΔNHPT 0.02(0.07), ΔGRIP 0.03(0.06) and ΔPINCH 0.02(0.03)] (p=0.002, p=0.009, p=0.003 and p=0.038, respectively).
Gloreha Professional is feasible and effective in recovering fine manual dexterity and strength and reducing arm disability in sub-acute hemiplegic patients.
