Improving patient outcomes following total knee arthroplasty : identifying rehabilitation pathways based on modifiable psychological risk and resilience factors by Ditton, Elizabeth, Johnson, Sarah, Hodyl, Nicolette, Flynn, Traci, Pollack, Michael, Ribbons, Karen, Walker, Frederick Rohan, Nilsson, Michael

“…Of particular importance to the model’s predictive power is the inclusion of a comprehensive assessment of modifiable psychological risk and resilience factors that have demonstrated relationships with TKA and other conditions in some studies. Despite the potential for patient psychological factors to limit recovery, they are typically not routinely assessed preoperatively in this patient group, and thus can be overlooked in rehabilitative referral and intervention decision-making. …”

Brain-controlled games and applications by Chen, Desheng

“…A prototype of the game is developed and its controls are integrated with the Emotiv propriety software, which allows the game to be played with just the headset and no physical inputs. Some test trials are run on the prototype and the results show that the puzzle game can indeed be played with just the Epoc; however, many issues make the game far from easy and enjoyable to play, such as difficulty of control and false positive of inputs even after hours of training. …”
