Augmented Community Telerehabilitation Intervention to Improve Outcomes for People With Stroke. ACTIV: A Randomised Controlled Trial and Qualitative Enquiry
(Auckland University of Technology, 2016)For people to achieve and maintain the best possible outcomes after stroke, a level of rehabilitation input is required that cannot be met by current services. Telerehabilitation, the provision of rehabilitation at a ... -
Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Influence Motor Learning
(Auckland University of Technology, 2020)Stroke is a widespread health-care problem that causes impairments of neural structure and function, and often limits the ability to move. Despite some spontaneous recovery and rehabilitative efforts, recovery is often ... -
Deep Learning and Knowledge Representation in Brain-Inspired Spiking Neural Networks for Brain-Computer Interfaces
(Auckland University of Technology, 2021)Brain-Computer Interfaces aim at decoding neural commands from neurological signals and translate them into machine commands for manipulating digital devices. It provides a way of bypassing affected neural pathways in ... -
Development of an Objective Measure of Cognitive Workload for Rehabilitation Using Electroencephalography (EEG)
(Auckland University of Technology, 2022)The purpose of rehabilitation following a neurological injury is to reduce impairments, maximize functional abilities, and enhance quality of life. As a part of rehabilitation, patient is assigned a rehabilitation task, ... -
Good Vibrations: Real-time Haptic Feedback Gait Retraining to Reduce Tibial Acceleration in Runners
(Auckland University of Technology, 2020)Overuse injuries are common in runners, with tibial fatigue fractures (TFF) being particularly severe in nature and challenging to manage. Acceleration of the tibia at foot-ground contact, measured from accelerometers ... -
Identification of fall-risk factor degradations using quality of balance measurements
(Auckland University of Technology, 2014)Falls concern a third of the people aged over 65y and lead to the loss of functional ability. The detection of risks factors of falls is essential for early interven- tion. Six intrinsic risk factors of fall: vision, ... -
Measuring the economic cost of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in New Zealand: a cost-of-illness study
(Auckland University of Technology, 2014)AIM: To estimate 1) the incidence, prevalence and disability adjusted life years (DALY) for traumatic brain injury (TBI) in New Zealand (NZ) in 2010 projected to 2020. 2) from a societal perspective the direct and indirect ... -
Neuromorphic computational models for machine learning and pattern recognition from multi-modal time-series data
(Auckland University of Technology, 2018)The fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence have a long and entwined history. In recent times, however, communication and collaboration between the two fields has become a rarity as they have evolved. Written ... -
Physical activity engagement in people with Multiple Sclerosis
(Auckland University of Technology, 2010)There is a growing body of evidence confirming the benefits of physical activity and exercise in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). However, most engage in low levels of physical activity when compared to the general ... -
Rewiring the Brain After Stroke: A Novel Neuromodulatory Intervention to Improve Neuromuscular Control
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)A stroke can have devastating consequences for an individual’s gait and mobility, and difficulties often continue well after discharge from rehabilitation. Increased knowledge about the role of neural plasticity in stroke ... -
The Role of Visual Fixations in Vision and Motion Sensitivity
(Auckland University of Technology, 2021)Motion sensitivity is a commonly reported symptom in people with chronic dizziness and is described as a lingering symptom that persists after recovery from an acute vestibular disorder. Adults with motion sensitivity ... -
Strength for Task Training: a novel intervention to improve locomotor ability following stroke
(Auckland University of Technology, 2014)Many people with stroke have ongoing difficulty with locomotor abilities to the extent that it limits their participation in meaningful community life. Deficits in locomotor ability are strongly related to muscle weakness ... -
Using Movement Intention EEG in Rehabilitation
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)Stroke causes brain injury and is a major cause of long term disability in New Zealand and across the world. Scientific evidence shows that our nervous system is plastic and adapts itself to this injury in order to recover ...
