Overview
Brain damage presently represents a significant problem not only for increasing frequency, but especially for the depth of the situation. The therapy is very costly particularly in brain trauma affecting predominantly younger age groups at the productive age. Incidence of brain injury in the European industrial countries is high reaching approximately 250 to 300 individuals per 100.000 individuals in population (17). According to data for 2010 issue by the Institute of Medical Information and Statistic of the Czech Republic, 48.000 patients with the diagnosis of vascular brain event are admitted to hospitals annually. There are no specialized neurorehabilitation workplaces in the Czech Republic, which would provide timely intensive and inter-professional rehabilitation of patients with brain injury.
In these patients we encounter a whole complex of troubles:
motor, cognitive, fatigue, sensual and psychic. Functional diagnostics and objective evaluation of the effect of the complex rehabilitation intervention are crucial as well as the extent of collaboration and motivation of the patients in individual rehabilitation.
Most diagnostic-therapeutic instrumental methods are unobtainable or difficult to obtain in common rehabilitation practice for economic reasons or technical demands. The use of a sensor – accelerometer in the form of a bracelet appears to be a suitable possibility even in patients with a high degree of functional damage (disability) (10). The project for application of accelerometer – a bracelet for monitoring of the locomotion of upper extremities in patients after brain damage originated with the participation of the First Medical Faculty and General Teaching Hospital in Prague, General Medical Insurance Company and the firm Princip.
