  • Interactive Virtual Client for Teaching Occupational Therapy Evaluative Processes

    Sharon Stansfield, Tom Butkiewicz, Evan Suma, Marilyn Kane · 2005 · Proceedings of the 7th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '05)

    This paper from Ithaca College describes a computer-based educational tool for occupational therapy (OT) students learning client evaluation techniques. The system uses a dialogue-based interface where students interact with a virtual client — a 3D character built using Valve's…

  • MEMOS: An Interactive Assistive System for Prospective Memory Deficit Compensation — Architecture and Functionality

    Hendrik Schulze · 2003 · Proceedings of the 6th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '04)

    This paper presents MEMOS (Mobile Extensible Memory Aid System), a distributed electronic memory aid designed to compensate for prospective memory deficits following brain injury. Prospective memory — the ability to remember future intentions and tasks — is a frequent and…

  • A Novel Multi-Stage Approach to the Detection of Visuo-Spatial Neglect Based on the Analysis of Figure-Copying Tasks

    R. M. Guest, M. C. Fairhurst · 2002 · Proceedings of the Fifth International ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '02)

    This paper presents a computer-based technique for improving the detection of visuo-spatial neglect (VSN), a dysfunction typically caused by stroke that causes patients to fail to respond to stimuli on the opposite side of the visual field from the brain lesion. Early and…

  • A Virtual Reality-Based Exercise Program for Stroke Rehabilitation

    David Jack, Rares Boian, Alma Merians, Sergei V. Adamovich, Marilyn Tremaine, Michael Recce, Grigore C. Burdea, Howard Poizner · 2000 · Proceedings of the Fourth International ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '00)

    This paper from Rutgers University presents a PC-based desktop virtual reality system designed to rehabilitate hand function in stroke patients. Stroke is identified as the leading cause of adult disability, with 65% of the nearly four million stroke survivors in the United…
