1. Indications

The remote real-time, motion capture-based neurorehabilitative therapy is indicated for patients with motor and sensory impairments resulting from conditions affecting the central nervous system. The specific indications include:

• Parkinson’s Disease - A progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and can lead to tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination.
• Multiple Sclerosis - A chronic disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to a range of symptoms including muscle weakness, coordination issues, and sensory disturbances.
• Stroke - A medical condition that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, resulting in loss of function and mobility in affected areas of the body.
• Spinal Cord Injury - Damage to the spinal cord that can result in loss of movement and sensation, impacting the patient's ability to perform daily activities.

2. Procedure

The procedure for remote real-time, motion capture-based neurorehabilitative therapy involves several key steps that ensure effective treatment management. These steps include:

• Step 1: Patient Assessment - The process begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's motor and sensory impairments. This assessment helps in determining the specific therapeutic goals and the appropriate exercises tailored to the patient's needs.
• Step 2: Selection of Therapeutic Plan - Based on the assessment, the patient selects a therapeutic plan that outlines the exercises and activities they will engage in during the sessions. This plan is designed to address the specific impairments identified in the assessment.
• Step 3: Engagement in Exercises - The patient participates in the selected therapeutic exercises, which are facilitated by the motion capture system. The system provides real-time feedback on the patient's movements, allowing for immediate adjustments and corrections to enhance performance.
• Step 4: Data Collection - After completing the exercises, the system collects data on the patient's performance, including metrics related to limb function and strength. This data is crucial for evaluating progress and making necessary adjustments to the therapeutic plan.
• Step 5: Data Upload and Review - The performance data is uploaded to a web-based portal, where it can be reviewed by the physician or qualified health care professional. This review process is essential for ongoing treatment management and ensuring that the therapy remains aligned with the patient's rehabilitation goals.

3. Post-Procedure

Post-procedure care for patients undergoing remote real-time, motion capture-based neurorehabilitative therapy includes monitoring the patient's progress through the data collected during sessions. The physician or qualified health care professional will review the uploaded performance metrics to assess improvements in motor and sensory functions. Adjustments to the therapeutic plan may be made based on this analysis to ensure continued progress. Patients are encouraged to maintain regular communication with their healthcare providers to discuss any challenges or concerns that arise during their rehabilitation journey. Additionally, ongoing assessments may be scheduled to evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy and to modify the treatment approach as needed.
