Sensory Cueing Wristwatch for Stroke Rehabilitation感知提示手錶在腦中風的應用
A simple and useful approach to improve the awareness and motor function of the hemiplegic upper limb in patients with stroke
一個簡單但有用的方法 - 增強中風患者腦半球受損之專注力及改善患側上肢活動能力
偏身忽略是腦中風偏癱患者中常見的現象，患者會忽略或不注意偏
癱的一側。
另外，很多長期中風患者由於患手活動不理想，會有放棄使或不使
用患手的情況，令患手康復減緩。
感知提示是透過戴在患者患手的手錶儀器發出，手錶會發出感覺
信號(例如震動或聲響)，並且以預先設定的時間發出信號提示給患
者。研究證實感知提示能有效減低中風後偏身忽略及手部不使用的
情況，誘發患側上肢在日常生活中之使用，從而令患者手部及整體
功能得以改善。
Unilateral neglect and learned non-use are common impairments
which will lead to long-term disability in clients after stroke.
The Sensory Cueing Wristwatch (SCW-V2) is an innovative portable
device to be worn on the paretic upper limb. It will emit sensory
signals consecutively at a predetermined level to remind the client
to respond and initiate movement. Previous studies prove that it is
effective in promoting patients to aware of the hemiplegic side and
increasing upper limb movements.
With this user-friendly device, patients can undergo training at
home every day. The wristwatch has built-in sensors to record limb
movement, which can be conveniently monitored by rehabilitation
professionals for reviewing recovery progress.
•自動感知提示
•可調較之感覺信號
•提供震動、視覺或聲響信號
•能夠記錄患者反應及手部的運動數量
•電腦分析軟件
•可供長時間使用之儲電池
• Autonomous sensory cueing treatment and training
• User-configurable stimulation pattern

The sensory cueing wristwatch is suitable for patients with sub-acute
or chronic stroke and with:
• unilateral neglect or sensory inattention
• moderate to mild upper limb impairments
• learned non-use over the paretic upper limb
or patients with hemiplegia resulting from cerebral palsy or head injury.
適合患有偏身忽略或手部偏癱的中風、腦外傷或大腦痙攣人士

長期中風患者可以很方便地在日常生活中使用The wristwatch can be used friendly by patients with stroke in daily life
戴上手錶的實驗組中風患者較安慰組患者能有效減低單側忽略，患手活動量明顯增加Sensory cueing reduces unilateral neglect and improves motor function in patients after stroke after
wearing for 3 weeks in a randomized controlled trial
