Player feedback - equipamento para avaliação da aprendizagem motora pós-AVC: estudo piloto. 2021. 56f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências da Reabilitação) - Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde do Trairi, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2021.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/44525Background: Stroke has been reported as the second cause of death and one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Deficits caused by stroke, mainly in upper limb, lead to limitations in daily, professional, and social life activities. Motor learning principles are included in many rehabilitation interventions to improve upper limb function. However, only few devices are available for motor learning assessment and training. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a device to assess motor learning using in post-stroke individuals. Methods: This study follows Tseng's methodology for innovative product design and development, consisting of two stages (device development and testing). Then, eight individuals were intentionally recruited for device testing by measuring the number of correct answers, number of advanced correct answers, average reaction time, learning sequence, total of correct sequences, and score. Results and discussion: A simple, low-cost, user-friendly, and quickly applied device was developed. Player Feedback development and design aimed to guide upper limb movements by visual stimuli linked to a control module containing software to compute motor performance variables, using reaching/pointing task and considering motor learning theories. Player Feedback measurements can be used in rehabilitation, therapeutic monitoring, and new therapeutic approaches development since these motor learning variables are not observed in clinical instruments and are often altered post-stroke. Conclusion: The Player Feedback is a motivating and innovative tool to perform reaching/pointing tasks in post-stroke individuals. Motor learning assessment using Player Feedback showed to be effective in poststroke individuals, improving sequence learning task performance. Therefore, this approach further befits the neurorehabilitation process, guiding evaluation, therapy, patients, and health professionals for treatment optimization.Acesso AbertoReabilitação neurológicaAprendizado seriadoAcidente Vascular CerebralmasterThesis
