Criteria related to therapy approaches |
---|
   - Training should address function, activity and participation levels by offering strength training, task-oriented/CIMT training, bilateral training. |
   - Training should happen in the natural environmental context. |
   - Frequent movement repetition should be included. |
   - Training load should be patient and goal-tailored (differentiating strength, endurance, co-ordination). |
   - Exercise variability should be on offer. |
   - Distributed and random practise should be included. |
Criteria related to motivational aspects |
   - Training should include fun & gaming, should be engaging |
   - The active role of the patient in rehabilitation should be stimulated by: |
â—‹ therapist independence on system use. |
â—‹ individual goal setting that is guided to be realistic. |
â—‹ self-control on delivery time of exercise instructions and by feedback that is guided to support motor learning. |
â—‹ control in training protocol: exercise, exercise material, etc. |
Criteria related to feedback on exercise performance |
   - KR (average & summary feedback) and KP should be available (objective standardized assessment of exercise performance is necessity). |
   - Progress Components: |
â—‹ fading frequency schedule (from short to long summary/average lengths) |
â—‹ from prescriptive to descriptive feedback |
â—‹ from general (e.g. sequencing right components) to more specific feedback (range of movement, force application, etc) |
â—‹ from simple to more complex feedback (according to cognitive level). |
   - Empty time slot for performance evaluation before and after giving feedback. |
   - Guided self-control on timing delivery feedback. |
   - Feedback on error and correct performance. |
