Neurological Rehabilitation Scientific Session-Session Presentation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript is about three research projects in the field of neurorehabilitation. The first project evaluated the validity of the Mississippi Aphasia Screening Test (MAST) on admission to inpatient stroke rehab. The researchers found that the MAST strongly correlated with language tests, suggesting its effectiveness as a language screening tool. The second project focused on the use of a powered bilateral hip exoskeleton to improve walking speed in individuals with chronic post-stroke conditions. The results showed that the device was effective in increasing walking velocity and had no adverse effects. The third project explored the use of auditory conditioning as a prophylaxis for traumatic brain injury. While auditory conditioning did not reduce the incidence of tinnitus, it did significantly decrease the severity of depression. Further research is needed to explore the translation of these findings to human models.
