RESUMEN
The application of telerehabilitation system has gained popularity and acceptance recently due to the restrictions in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper described the development of an elbow-wrist telerehabilitation system that complement the disrupted routine rehabilitation session. The developed system consists of a wearable exoskeleton system that assist in rehabilitation of the elbow and wrist joints for individuals with neurological conditions such as Parkinson's and Spinal Cord Injuries that affects movements of the upper extremities. The two modes of operation available enables the adoption of the 5G technology in the near future. This system also potentially fulfills the requirement of Accessibility, Availability, Affordability, and Acceptability (4As) of Telerehabilitation System in Malaysia. Overall development cost of the system is approximately MYR 500. The system enable rehabilitation to be performed at home-setting with a cloud-based monitoring system that will provide long-term monitoring for clinician's assessment. The project provides a proof-of-concept of such system in the Malaysian context.Clinical Relevance - This work demonstrated the proof-of concept of a 4A system is applicable in the Malaysian context. © 2022 IEEE.
RESUMEN
Covid-19 is an emerging respiratory infection and pandemic disease that caused by a virus called the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the WHO rename as Covid-19. The government of Malaysia implemented Movement Control Order (MCO) to control the spreading of the disease. The citizens play an important role to curb Covid-19 by giving cooperation and compliant to Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) implemented by the government. Therefore, this study is to determine the knowledge, attitude and practices towards Covid-19 among UOC (University of Cyberjaya) MBBS students during the rapid rise period during the Covid-19 outbreak. A cross sectional study was conducted. The respondents that took part in this study were medical students from University of Cyberjaya. Our result shows that 143 out of 150 participants (95.3%) had good knowledge. 3 questions were asked to evaluate attitude towards COVID-19. For the first question, 58% of the participants had positive attitude, second question 83.3% and third question 33.3% executively. In terms of practice, 79.3% of the participants reported they avoided crowded places in the week before MCO was implemented, 76.7% of them wear face masks when they leave home and 88.0% practiced proper hand hygiene. Lastly, our findings confirmed that there is no significant association between sociodemographic factors and knowledge. Copyright © 2022, Anka Publishers. All rights reserved.
