- Abstract
The study focused on designing a portable, objective device for assessing and addressing Cervical Motor Control (CMC) impairments. This device is based on a proposed architecture that employs advanced technology to evaluate and enhance patients’ CMC. During a pilot study with 10 participants, the device’s feasibility and usability were verified, including an initial assessment using the Head Relocation Test and a 12-session intervention over 4 weeks. The architecture of the proposed system is responsible for gathering pertinent data concerning patients’ cervical motor control. It employs advanced algorithms to process this data and objectively assess CMC function. Furthermore, the system tailors the therapy to each patient’s individual needs. Preliminary results indicate that the device and the proposed architecture positively impact assessment test performance accuracy. While additional validation tests are required to confirm their effectiveness, this device emerges as a promising and valuable alternative for assessing and treating patients with CMC impairments. Its focus on advanced technology and personalized adaptation aligns with previous research in telerehabilitation and classroom physical activity promotion.
