论文摘要
具有单方面脑瘫的儿童具有运动障碍，其运动障碍主要与他们的上肢之一（UE），并且容易发生一种名为“发育无视”的现象，其特征是由于对这种肢体的看法或意识而被忽视了最受影响的UE。这可能会导致他们不要在日常生活中使用最受影响的手达到其全部能力。本文介绍了可穿戴技术的原型，并具有智能手表的外观，该技术提供了触觉反馈，以提醒患有单侧脑瘫的儿童使用最受影响的肢体，并增加了感觉传入以影响大脑可塑性。该原型由加速度计，振动电动机和带有算法的微控制器组成，该算法检测肢体的运动。在给定的无活动期间后，手表开始振动以提醒用户。
Children with unilateral cerebral palsy have movement impairments that are predominant to one of their upper extremities (UE) and are prone to a phenomenon named "developmental disregard", which is characterized by the neglect of their most affected UE because of their altered perception or consciousness of this limb. This can cause them not to use their most affected hand to its full capacity in their day-to-day life. This paper presents a prototype of a wearable technology with the appearance of a smartwatch, which delivers haptic feedback to remind children with unilateral cerebral palsy to use their most affected limb, and which increase sensory afferents to possibly influence brain plasticity. The prototype consists of an accelerometer, a vibration motor and a microcontroller with an algorithm that detects movement of the limb. After a given period of inactivity, the watch starts vibrating to alert the user.
