“…In a handful of other studies, face-to-face training allowed individuals with neurogenic disorders to subsequently complete home treatment or rehabilitation. [37][38][39][40][41] One unmet challenge is the use of computerized test administration to acquire verbal responses, an essential capability for many language tests. 21,42 It is also unclear whether approaches of this type would be suitable for individuals with stroke, who may have language, cognitive, motor, and sensory impairments that limit the effectiveness and usability of computer-based testing.…”

Background: Neuropsychological testing is a central aspect of stroke research because it provides critical information about the cognitive-behavioral status of stroke survivors, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of stroke-related disorders. Standard neuropsychological methods rely upon face-to-face interactions between a patient and researcher, which creates geographic and logistical barriers that impede research progress and treatment advances. Introduction: To overcome these barriers, we created a flexible and integrated system for the remote acquisition of neuropsychological data (RAND). The system we developed has a secure architecture that permits collaborative videoconferencing. The system supports shared audiovisual feeds that can provide continuous virtual interaction between a participant and researcher throughout a testing session. Shared presentation and computing controls can be used to deliver auditory and visual test items adapted from standard face-to-face materials or execute computerbased assessments. Spoken and manual responses can be acquired, and the components of the session can be recorded for offline data analysis. Materials and Methods: To evaluate its feasibility, our RAND system was used to administer a speechlanguage test battery to 16 stroke survivors with a variety of communication, sensory, and motor impairments. The sessions were initiated virtually without prior face-to-face instruction in the RAND technology or test battery. Results: Neuropsychological data were successfully acquired from all participants, including those with limited technology experience,

“…Most of these programs have focused on rehabilitation of physical disability or speech impairment 5,9,13,14,17,18) . In contrast, only a few studies have reported on telerehabilitation for cognition 7,8,10) . These studies have been performed using internet-based virtual reality or computer software programs.…”

“…With the rapid development of modern technology and the use of computers in communications, many applications and telerehabilitation programs have been developed for rehabilitation various functions, including cognition [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] . However, little is known about applications for memory training based on telerehabilitation for patients with TBI.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] Memory impairment is a common sequela in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Little is known about applications for memory training for patients with TBI. We investigated the effect of a memory training application in a patient with TBI. [Subjects and Methods] A 37 year-old male patient presented with memory impairment since onset of TBI resulting from a traffic accident. We developed a memory training application for use with a tablet PC. It consists of six stages. Each stage is composed of visual and auditory memory training parts. Two training sessions were conducted per day, five days per week, for a period of three months from nine months after onset to 11 months after onset.[Results] The patient's scores on the Memory Assessment Scale showed improvement after participating in the memory training program for a period of three months: global memory, 56.6%; short-term memory, 13.2%; visual memory, 75.0%; and verbal memory, 37.9%. [Conclusions] We observed significant improvement of memory function of this patient after memory training using this application. As a result of these findings, we believe that this application could be useful for improving memory impairment of patients with TBI.

“…In addition, parents felt that the information was concise and useful. Focusing on the patient with TBI, Bergquist and colleagues evaluated the potential for patients with a documented acquired brain injury and memory impairment to learn to use an Internet-based cognitive rehabilitation program (Bergquist et al, 2008). Ten individuals were trained to use an instant messaging system and were asked to participate in weekly online cognitive rehabilitation therapy sessions.…”
