  • Stroke Patients’ Acceptance of a Smart Garment for Supporting Upper Extremity Rehabilitation
    IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine, 2018
    Co-Authors: Qi Wang, Annick Timmermans, Jifeng Rong, Li Ding, Li Xiong, Wei Chen, Panos Markopoulos
    Abstract:

    The objective is to evaluate to which extent that Zishi a Garment equipped with sensors that can support posture monitoring can be used in upper extremity rehabilitation training of stroke patients. Seventeen stroke survivors (mean age: 55 years old, SD =13.5) were recruited in three hospitals in Shanghai. Patients performed 4 tasks (analytical shoulder flexion, functional shoulder flexion placing a cooking pot, analytical flexion in the scapular plane, and functional flexion in the scapular plane placing a bottle of water) with guided feedback on a tablet that was provided through inertial sensors embedded in the Zishi system at the scapula and the thoracic spine region. After performing the training tasks, patients completed four questionnaires for assessing their motivation, their acceptance of the system, its credibility, and usability. The study participants were highly motivated to train with Zishi and the system was rated high usability, while the subjects had moderate confidence with technology supported training in comparison with the training with therapists. The patients respond positively to using Zishi to support rehabilitation training in a clinical setting. Further developments need to address more on engaging and adaptive feedback. This paper paves the way for larger scale effectiveness studies.

  • zishi a Smart Garment for posture monitoring
    Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2016
    Co-Authors: Qi Wang, Marina Toeters, Annick Timmermans, Wei Chen, Panos Markopoulos
    Abstract:

    Zishi is a Garment designed to support posture monitoring for the purposes of rehabilitation training. It has been designed with attention to presenting accurate and informative feedback to patients regarding their thoracic and shoulder posture as well as comfort, ease of use, wearability and aesthetics. Zishi can be useful during rehabilitation training for a variety of patient groups. So far, we have been concerned with two broad training scenarios a) for arm-hand (neurological) rehabilitation training after stroke or for MS and spinal cord injury patients. B) for shoulder patients. Zishi consists of a Garment integrated with Smart textiles and wearable electronics. It presents real-time feedback as a vibration delivered through the Garment, visual and audio instructions through android-hand held device (Smartphone or tablet).

  • Smart Garment design for rehabilitation
    NeuroRehabilitation, 2014
    Co-Authors: Qi Wang, Wei Chen, Panos Markopoulos
    Abstract:

    During rehabilitation training posture monitoring is very important for enhancing training effectiveness. This article presents the design and implementation of a Smart rehabilitation Garment (SRG) to support posture correction. The Garment the design and implementation of a Smart rehabilitation Garment (SRG) to support posture correction. The Garment has been designed to supports posture monitoring feedback, during training. The Garment consists of accelerometers in various positions with Smart textile integration, controlled by a Lilypad Arduino processor which also controls vibrator motors that provide tactile feedback to patients. The SRG is driven by a software application running on a Smartphone or personal computer by Bluetooth, which presents fine grain feedback, and training results and reminders to patients. In this paper we focus on the sensing modules’ placements and embedded design based on the integration of Smart textiles. This work places particular emphasis on having a practical, wearable, and aesthetic device, as these are crucial elements for making the device useful in context and accepted by its users.
