The Handbook of Speech Production is the first reference work to provide an overview of this burgeoning area of study. Twenty-four chapters written by an international team of authors examine issues in speech planning, motor control, the physical aspects of speech production, and external factors that impact speech production. Contributions bring together behavioral, clinical, computational, developmental, and neuropsychological perspectives on speech production to create a rich and truly interdisciplinary resource Offers a novel and timely contribution to the literature and showcases a broad spectrum of research in speech production, methodological advances, and modeling Coverage of planning, motor control, articulatory coordination, the speech mechanism, and the effect of language on production processes
This book reports on the latest technological and clinical advances in the field of neurorehabilitation. It is, however, much more than a conventional survey of the state-of-the-art in neurorehabilitation technologies and therapies. It was formed on the basis of a week of lively discussions between curious PhD students and leading research experts during the summer school on neurorehabilitation (SSNR2012), September 16-21 in Nuévalos, Zaragoza (Spain). Its unconventional format makes it a perfect guide for all PhD students, researchers and professionals interested in gaining a multidisciplinary perspective on current and future neurorehabilitation scenarios. The book covers various aspects ...
En los últimos años se han venido desarrollando tecnologías para proporcionar al paciente neurológico los elementos clave de un adecuado programa de neurorrehabilitación, y se han constituido como posibles medidas coadyuvantes del tratamiento. En este contexto, el sector sanitario tiene la posibilidad de transformarse para ofrecer servicios más individualizados, participativos y preventivos, mediante las posibilidades terapéuticas de dispositivos y tecnologías de bajo coste y fácil empleo, como son las aplicaciones móviles. El término app es una abreviatura de la palabra en inglés “application”. Se trata de un programa, con unas características especiales, que se instala en ...
El presente libro con título "La Enfermedad de Parkinson. Calidad de Vida relacionada con la Salud y Riego de Caídas", aborda desde una perspectiva integral los aspectos clave relacionados con la enfermedad de Parkinson, presentando sus contenidos en tres bloques bien diferenciados: Bloque I, con título La Enfermedad de Parkinson, en el que se revisan los aspectos históricos, la epidemiología, las escalas de valoración y los tratamientos actuales; el Bloque II, centrado en la Calidad de vida en la enfermedad de Parkinson, revisando las escalas generales y específicas de medición de calidad de vida relacionada con la salud; y el Bloque III, sobre el Riesgo de caídas en la enfermedad de Parkinson con interés en la identificación, evaluación y modificación de dichos factores de riesgo. El presente libro es de interés para alumnos de Grado en Ciencias de la Salud, como para profesionales sanitarios implicados en la atención de los pacientes de Parkinson. Roberto Cano de la Cuerda, Juan Carlos Miangolarra Paga y Lydia Vela Despojo son profesores de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos.

Millions of people worldwide are affected by neurological disorders which disrupt the connections within the brain and between brain and body causing impairments of primary functions and paralysis. Such a number is likely to increase in the next years and current assistive technology is yet limited. A possible response to such disabilities, offered by the neuroscience community, is given by Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs) and neuroprostheses. The latter field of research is highly multidisciplinary, since it involves very different and disperse scientific communities, making it fundamental to create connections and to join research efforts. Indeed, the design and development of neuroprosthet...
[...] O livro A Linguagem e o Brincar em Condições Neurodiversas, organizado por Jáima Pinheiro de Oliveira, Aila Narene Dahwache Criado Rocha e Ana Paula Loução Martins, que ora é apresentado ao públicoleitor, é um retrato do enorme avanço que vem ocorrendo nas últimas décadas nesta área de investigação e intervenção. Tal avanço se caracteriza pelas novas possibilidades como Comunicação Alternativa e Aumentativa e recursos de Tecnologia Assistiva para favorecer a comunicação das pessoas com problemas de desenvolvimento da linguagem por mais variados motivos.

Las Plataformas de Educación en la Enseñanza Superior constituyen el verdadero marco del cambio educativo y el espacio donde se desarrolla la Educación Digital. La innovación aparece ligada a estas como los lugares propicios para la puesta en marcha de procesos educativos que impulsen el cambio metodológico y la aplicación de tecnologías en la enseñanza. La Universidad Rey Juan Carlos ha considerado importante conocer la visión de distintas instituciones de Educación Superior y plasmar las fórmulas utilizadas en cada una de ellas para la implantación, seguimiento y mejora de estas plataformas. Se recoger diversos puntos de vista, que abarcan los aspectos más institucionales, rel...
Restoring human motor and cognitive function has been a fascinating research area during the last century. Interfacing the human nervous system with electro-mechanical rehabilitation machines is facing its crucial passage from research to clinical practice, enhancing the potentiality of therapists, clinicians and researchers to rehabilitate, diagnose and generate knowledge. The 2012 International Conference on Neurorehabilitation (ICNR2012) brings together researchers and students from the fields of Clinical Rehabilitation, Applied Neurophysiology and Biomedical Engineering, covering a wide range of research topics: · Clinical Impact of Technology · Brain-Computer Interface in Rehabilitati...
