Purpose Ambulatory voice biofeedback (AVB) has the potential to significantly improve voice therapy effectiveness by targeting one of the most challenging aspects of rehabilitation: carryover of desired behaviors outside of the therapy session. Although initial evidence indicates that AVB can alter vocal behavior in daily life, retention of the new behavior after biofeedback has not been demonstrated. Motor learning studies repeatedly have shown retention-related benefits when reducing feedback frequency or providing summary statistics. Therefore, novel AVB settings that are based on these concepts are developed and implemented. Method The underlying theoretical framework and resultant implementation of innovative AVB settings on a smartphone-based voice monitor are described. A clinical case study demonstrates the functionality of the new relative frequency feedback capabilities. Results With new technical capabilities, 2 aspects of feedback are directly modifiable for AVB: relative frequency and summary feedback. Although reduced-frequency AVB was associated with improved carryover of a therapeutic vocal behavior (i.e., reduced vocal intensity) in a patient post-excision of vocal fold nodules, causation cannot be assumed. Conclusions Timing and frequency of AVB schedules can be manipulated to empirically assess generalization of motor learning principles to vocal behavior modification and test the clinical effectiveness of AVB with various feedback schedules.

Over the last two decades, the use of motor imagery (MI) for post-stroke rehabilitation has significantly increased. Previous findings support the feasibility of the incorporation of specific MI exercises to improve walking skills in individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis. However, detailed practical applications and specific protocols for the implementation of MI are scarce. The objective of this manuscript is to propose practical applications for a structured MI regimen, including detailed protocols of a six-week intervention targeting gait improvement following stroke. The proposed regimen is based on previous experience with MI rehabilitation programs for gait improvement following stroke, motor learning principles with applications for stroke rehabilitation, and the PETTLEP model. The proposed detailed protocols were found to be adjusted for gait improvement of post-stroke survivors as described in several studies, and may address the targets of different rehabilitation programs. Based on motor learning principles and guidelines, an example of verbal instructions for each treatment session during six weeks of intervention is proposed. The potential of this training program to augment and extend the rehabilitation process was proven in several studies. The variety of possibilities of scenes to image allows the clinician to target specific impaired performance and disabilities. By using the proposed structure and protocols, a large number of therapists may be able to address these targets.

BACKGROUND: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental disturbance characterized by impaired control of movement. Function often decreases and 15% of adults are classified as severely affected (Gross Motor Function Classification Scale III-V). Little is known about interventions that aim to improve functional abilities in this population. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a 12-week intervention based on motor learning principles on functional ability in adults with severe CP. METHODS: 16 adults (36±10 years, GMFCS III-V) were enrolled and divided into an intervention group (Active group) and a standard care group (Control group). Primary outcome measure was Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88). Secondary measures were neurological status. The Active group were measured at baseline, after the intervention and at one-month follow-up. The Control group were measured at baseline and after one month. RESULTS: Analysis showed statistically significant improvement in GMFM-88 for the Active group from baseline to post assessment compared with the Control group (group difference: 5 points, SE 14.5, p = 0.008, CI: 1.2 to 8.7). Improvements were maintained at follow-up. Results from the neurological screening showed no clear tendencies. CONCLUSIONS: The study provides support that activities based on motor learning principles may improve gross motor function in adults with severe CP.

AbstractStroke is a brain functional disorder characterized by nerve paralysis due to obstruction of blood flow to the brain. The frequent impact if a post-stroke client is not carried out with rehabilitation immediately will result in mobility disorder that can impede daily physical activity. One pratice in the rehabilitation process is to prevent disability in a client with post-stroke physical mobility disorder that is, by performing a Range Of Motion rope. The case study is intended to illustrate application of roma exercises to boost muscle strength. The method of writing the case study USES a descriptive design and case studies reported in narration. The instrumrnts used are observation sheets and structured observation sheets covering the assessment of muscle strength. The resulth of the case study have been after the six-meeting application of roma that the roma can increase muscle strength in subject. I the average muscle strength 3.31 to 3.50 and subject II average muscle strength 3.68 to 3,93. The conclusion of the case study increased muscle strength after the practice of roma. Suggestions for the family in order to train ROM for family members who had suffered stroke. Keywords: Stroke, muscle strength, ROM AbstrakStroke adalah penyakit nerulogis terbanyak yang dapat mengakibatkan disfungsi motorik dan sensorik.Dampak yang sering muncul jika klien pasca stroke tidak dilakukan rehabiltasi dengan segera maka akan mengalami gangguan mobilitas yang dapat menghambat aktivitas fisik sehari-hari. Saalah satu bentuk latihan dalam proses rehabilitasi untuk mencegah terjadinya kecacatan pada klien dengan gangguan mobilitas fisik pasca stroke yaitu dengan melakukan latihan Range Of Motion ROM. Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan penerapan latihan ROM untuk meningkatkan kekuatan otot. Metode penulisan studi kasus ini menggunakan rancangan deskriptif dan hasil studi kasus dilaporkan dalam bentuk narasi. Instrumen yang digunakan yaitu lembar pengkajian dan lembar observasi terstruktur meliputi penilaian kekuatan otot. Hasil studi kasus setelah dilakukan penerapan ROM selama 6 pertemuan bahwa ROM dapat meningkatkan kekuatan otot pada Subyek I nilai rata-rata kekuatan otot 3,31 menjadi 3,50 dan Subyek II nilai rata-rata kekuatan otot 3,68 menjadi 3,93. Simpulan studi kasus ini terjadi peningkatan kekuatan otot setelah dilakukan latihan ROM. Saran bagi keluarga agar dapat melatih ROM pada anggota keluarga yang mengalmi stroke. Kata kunci: Stroke, kekuatan otot, ROM
