“…Also, Tarakci et al (39) reported a significant balance improvement in children and adolescents with CP treated by using Nintendo-Wii-Fit balance board. Progress in balance, after neurorehabilitation with Xbox and Kinect, was also reported in a child with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (41).…”

“…Our search identified nine longitudinal studies as reported in Table 1 (34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42). According to the PEDro scores, one of the most interesting paper was the one by Choi et al (35), showing that children with chronic brain injury (including CP), treated by virtual reality and occupational therapy, significantly improved upper-limb dexterity functions, performance of daily activities, and forearm supination, as compared to the control group.…”

IntroductionThe emergence of gaming technologies, such as videogames and virtual reality, provides a wide variety of possibilities in intensively and enjoyably performing rehabilitation for children with neurological disorders. Solid evidence-based results are however required to promote the use of different gaming technologies in pediatric neurorehabilitation, while simultaneously exploring new related directions concerning neuro-monitoring and rehabilitation in familiar settings.Aim of the Study and MethodsIn order to analyze the state of the art regarding the available gaming technologies for pediatric neurorehabilitation, Scopus and Pubmed Databases have been searched by following: PRISMA statements, PICOs classification, and PEDro scoring.Results43 studies have been collected and classified as follows: 11 feasibility studies; six studies proposing home-system solutions; nine studies presenting gamified robotic devices; nine longitudinal intervention trials; and eight reviews. Most of them rely on feasibility or pilot trials characterized by small sample sizes and short durations; different methodologies, outcome assessments and terminologies are involved; the explored spectrum of neurological conditions turns out to be scanty, mainly including the most common and wider debilitating groups of conditions in pediatric neurology: cerebral palsy, brain injuries and autism.ConclusionEven though it highlights reduced possibilities of drawing evidence-based conclusions due to the above outlined biases, this systematic review raises awareness among pediatricians and other health professionals about gaming technologies. Such a review also points out a definite need of rigorous studies that clearly refer to the underlying neuroscientific principles.

“…This includes physiotherapy to maintain joint mobility, to increase muscle strength, and to improve both postural control and endurance; the use of orthoses to enhance walking efficiency, and foot functional surgery (FS) to correct ankle deformities and to improve gait functionality. 2,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The real benefit to the surgical approach is in striving to restore the physiological tibiotarsal and foot joint biomechanics and the correct rockers of gait as best as possible. Surgical procedures have been progressively improving since the late 1970s, based also on the surgeon's personal preferences and schools of thought.…”

Structural foot deformities consequent to Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) can be treated by functional surgery (FS). This study aims to evaluate both long‐term walking ability and patients' satisfaction in CMT subjects who underwent FS during their lifetime. We conducted a retrospective observational study. Age, sex, CMT type, comprehensive surgical history, current walking ability assessed by the Walking Handicap Scale (WHS) and patients' global impression of change (pGIC) were retrieved from a custom database managed at our institution. WHS and pGIC were assessed between mid‐2018 and mid‐2019. Data from 79 patients were screened and 63 were included, 35W‐28M, mean age 42 (15), with demyelinating (75%), axonal (20%), and other types (5%) of CMT, who underwent FS between 1967 and 2018. FS evolved significantly over the years from bone‐related procedures (e.g., arthrodesis) to both bone and soft tissues‐related procedures. The re‐intervention rate decreased from 70% before 2000 to 32% in the last decade. Complications arose in five cases. FS was mainly performed on adults (73%). WHS was ≥ 5 in three‐quarters of the sample (range 1‐6) and was significantly affected by age groups in patients with demyelinating CMT (n=47, p<0.01, non‐parametric ANOVA). Nearly 80% of patients were satisfied with FS (pGIC ≥ 4). In conclusion, CMT subjects who underwent FS surgery maintained a high gait efficiency in the long‐term period, with middle to high levels of satisfaction in the majority of the cases. This confirms the validity of FS in the management of acquired foot deformities in CMT patients.

The ever-growing and widespread use of touch, face, full-body, and 3D mid-air gesture recognition sensors in domestic and industrial settings is serving to highlight whether interactive gestures are sufficiently inclusive, and whether or not they can be executed by all users. The purpose of this study was to analyze full-body gestures from the point of view of user experience using the Microsoft Kinect sensor, to identify which gestures are easy for individuals living with Down syndrome. With this information, app developers can satisfy Design for All (DfA) requirements by selecting suitable gestures from existing lists of gesture sets. A set of twenty full-body gestures were analyzed in this study; to do so, the research team developed an application to measure the success/failure rates and execution times of each gesture. The results show that the failure rate for gesture execution is greater than the success rate, and that there is no difference between male and female participants in terms of execution times or the successful execution of gestures. Through this study, we conclude that, in general, people living with Down syndrome are not able to perform certain full-body gestures correctly. This is a direct consequence of limitations resulting from characteristic physical and motor impairments. As a consequence, the Microsoft Kinect sensor cannot identify the gestures. It is important to remember this fact when developing gesture-based on Human Computer Interaction (HCI) applications that use the Kinect sensor as an input device when the apps are going to be used by people who have such disabilities.
