“…The developing domain of VR/VE (virtual environment) interventions also encompasses augmented reality (AR) procedures. As advanced digital facilities, regarding their therapeutic-rehabilitative outcomes, all of them depend on both the technological types and level of the devices used and the potential beneficiaries' capabilities to favorably interact with the kinds of information such methods provide [161]. Although rather old, appearing in the 1980s, VR boosted its involvement in addressing different pathologies, including neuropsychiatric types like AD, at the beginning of the last decade, partially because of related concerns regarding the neuro-/biopsychological side effects [162,163]; specifically, some patients with AD "did experience boredom, fear, and anxiety while using VR applications" [164], as well as possible social, more extended, consequences.…”

One of the most complex and challenging developments at the beginning of the third millennium is the alarming increase in demographic aging, mainly—but not exclusively—affecting developed countries. This reality results in one of the harsh medical, social, and economic consequences: the continuously increasing number of people with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which accounts for up to 80% of all such types of pathology. Its large and progressive disabling potential, which eventually leads to death, therefore represents an important public health matter, especially because there is no known cure for this disease. Consequently, periodic reappraisals of different therapeutic possibilities are necessary. For this purpose, we conducted this systematic literature review investigating nonpharmacological interventions for AD, including their currently known cellular and molecular action bases. This endeavor was based on the PRISMA method, by which we selected 116 eligible articles published during the last year. Because of the unfortunate lack of effective treatments for AD, it is necessary to enhance efforts toward identifying and improving various therapeutic and rehabilitative approaches, as well as related prophylactic measures.

Asymmetric Constrained Control of a Cervical Orthotic Device Based on Barrier Sliding Modes

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This work proposes a robust sliding mode controller to enforce the tracking trajectory of a cervical orthotic device subjected to asymmetric box constraints. The convergence analysis employs an asymmetric barrier Lyapunov function (ABLF), whose argument is a restricted sliding surface. The stability analysis demonstrates the finite-time convergence of the states towards the sliding surface and, therefore, the exponential stability of the system trajectories. The controller ensures the fulfillment of the restrictions imposed on the sliding surface and consequently over the states. Numerical simulations exhibit the performance of the proposed controller ensuring restricted movements for flexion and extension of a virtual orthotic cervical device. The restricted movements obey asymmetric constraints according to the therapies proposed by medical specialists.
