Abstract

BACKGROUND Tablet technology is a promising tool for assisting therapeutic strategies in stroke rehabilitation. However, it is not clear whether the basic gestures (e.g. click, double-click) are feasible. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the successful performance of gestures and associated factors. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at a rehabilitation center in Austria. The successful tablet use was checked on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (10.1 Wi-Fi 25.6 cm; 10.1 Zoll) with a specifically developed app. To identify factors associated with successful use, impairments in activities of daily living (Barthel index), cognitive functions (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MoCA), motor functions (Nine-Hole Peg Test), and grip strength (handgrip dynamometer) were assessed. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-nine participants were analyzed, whereof 53.5% had a paretic upper limp and 69.2% were able to perform all gestures with at least one hand. Factors associated with successful use were higher Barthel index (OR: 1.06; 95% CI = 1.01-1.11) and MoCA (OR: 1.21; 95% CI = 1.01-1.44), whereas lower age (OR: 0.91; 95% CI = 0.83-0.99) and a paretic hand (OR: 0.12; 95% CI = 0.01-0.99) were associated with a lesser likelihood. Additionally, 18.6% successfully performed all gestures with the paretic hand, whereof 74% could not perform the double-click and 77.0% were not able to zoom. CONCLUSIONS The majority of stroke patients are able to perform the basic gestures on a tablet with at least one hand, but only few patients with paresis could do them. Gestures like double-clicking and zooming should be avoided when designing apps for rehabilitation, as especially these were found difficult.

25. The role of conceptual knowledge in object use Evidence from semantic dementia

Abstract

It has been reported that patients with semantic dementia function well in everyday life and sometimes show striking preservation of the ability to use objects, even those specific objects for which the patient has degraded conceptual information. To explore this phenomenon in nine cases of semantic dementia, we designed a set of semantic tests regarding 20 everyday objects and compared performance on these with the patients' ability to demonstrate the correct use of the same items. We also administered a test of mechanical problem solving utilizing novel tools, on which the patients had completely normal ability. All but the mildest affected patient showed significant deficits of naming and on the visually based semantic matching tasks. Object use was markedly impaired and, most importantly, correlated strongly with naming and semantic knowledge. In a small number of instances, there was appropriate use of an object for which the patient's knowledge on the semantic matching tasks was no better than chance; but this typically applied to objects with a rather obvious relationship between appearance and use, or was achieved by trial and error. The results suggest that object use is heavily dependent upon object-specific conceptual knowledge, supplemented to some degree by a combination of visual affordances and mechanical problem solving.
