Test and Validation of a Smart Exercise Bike for Motor Rehabilitation in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
To assess and validate the Smart Exercise Bike designed for Parkinson's Disease (PD) rehabilitation, 47 individuals with PD were randomly assigned to either the static or dynamic cycling group, and completed three sessions of exercise. Heart rate, ca...

Group activity with Paro in nursing homes: systematic investigation of behaviors in participants.

International psychogeriatrics
BACKGROUND: A variety of group activities is promoted for nursing home (NH) residents with dementia with the aim to reduce apathy and to increase engagement and social interaction. Investigating behaviors related to these outcomes could produce insig...
