https://www.selleckchem.com/products/tak-981.html To analyze the effects of the non-immersive VR intervention on upper extremity function, four clinical measures, namely the box-block test (BBT), the Wolf motor function test (WMFT), the Jebsen-Taylor hand function test (JTT), and a grip strength test, were used in this study. For the secondary clinical outcome, the trail-making test (TMT) was used to determine any improvement in cognitive function. RESULTS At week 8, upon completion of the non-immersive VR-training the intervention group demonstrated significantly greater WMFT scores (73.0±12.9 to 81.6±7.5), BBT scores (27.3±8.9 to 34.2±7.1), and grip strength (19.2±8.2 to 23.8±8.5) compared with WMFT scores (70.4±12.1 to 73.2±13.1), BBT scores (27.1±10.5 to 28.8±12.9), and grip strength (18.4±4.2 to 18.3±4.9) in the control group. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that virtual upper extremity training using the RAPAEL smart glove has reasonable and beneficial effects on upper extremity and cognitive function for chronic hemiparetic stroke survivors.PURPOSE Though knowledge of normal childhood developmental milestones, essential for physician subspecialists, begins in medical school, it continues in pediatric subspecialty residency and fellowship training. Despite widespread education in developmental milestones, published curricula related to this content area are lacking. This pilot curriculum was developed to address the lack of published developmental curricula. METHODS Participants included pediatric rehabilitation trainees who completed 8-12 sessions per year of a novel, adult-learner centered child development curriculum, for two consecutive years. Outcome measures included a novel survey, knowledge based test, verbal feedback sessions, and the end of the year program evaluation committee meeting. RESULTS Trainees were successfully able to attend curricula sessions within their typical fellowship and residency responsibilities. Pediatric rehabilitation medicine
