EnglishSince one of the major consequences of stroke is hemiparesis, the rehabilitation of upper limbs is necessary to improve the quality of life. Arm cranking gesture represents an alternative rehabilitation tool, especially if accompanied by a biofeedback involving and motivating patients. The aim of this pilot study was twofold: (1) to evaluate the effect of a visual and virtual biofeedback on arm cranking gesture and (2) to estimate the duration of pull and push phases of the crank cycle. Nine healthy and young subjects were involved in the test and were asked to perform the arm cranking gesture in different conditions. A stereophotogrammetric system was adopted to create a virtual, visual and real time biofeedback of cadence, to measure the real cadence of participants and to estimate push and pull phases durations. Results showed that the biofeedback helped subjects to follow an externally imposed cadence. Furthermore, the pull phase resulted to be slightly longer than the push one, although the angular amplitude of the two phases suggested they were the same.

Arm cranking gesture represents an alternative rehabilitation tool, especially if accompanied by a biofeedback involving and motivating patients. The aim of this pilot study was twofold: (1) to evaluate the effect of a visual and virtual biofeedback on arm cranking gesture and (2) to estimate the duration of pull and push phases of the crank cycle. Nine healthy and young subjects were involved in the test and were asked to perform the arm cranking gesture in different conditions. A stereophotogrammetric system was adopted to create a virtual, visual and real time biofeedback of cadence, to measure the real cadence of participants and to estimate push and pull phases durations. Results showed that the biofeedback helped subjects to follow an externally imposed cadence. Furthermore, the pull phase resulted to be slightly longer than the push one, although the angular amplitude of the two phases suggested they were the same. |
