Recovery after ischemic stroke: Effects of FuekFone home-based program on upper limb and cognitive function

ObjectivesThis study aimed to explore the effects of the “FuekFone (F.F.) home-based program” on the upper limb and cognitive function of ischemic stroke patients after discharge. MethodsA single group pre-and post-test design was conducted. A total of 40 patients with recovery after ischemic stroke were recruited from two university hospitals in Thailand. The study was conducted between June 2022 and January 2023. Participants underwent a six-week “F.F. home-based program,” which combined an upper limb and cognitive function rehabilitation device with Android games, including stationary barrel, adventure walk, adventure stroll, sliding barrel, sauce squeeze, and cut objects. Each game has different difficulty levels. Patients can perform corresponding exercises through the games according to their conditions under the guidance of medical staff. The patients played for 24 mins per time, 4 mins each game, three days a week. The second week, let the patients play games for 30 mins per time, 5 mins each game, 3 days a week. Then, in the 3–6 weeks, let the patients play games for 1 h per time, 10 mins each game, 5 days a week. At the pre-and post-intervention, the Thai version of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), the Motor Assessment Scale, and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA score) were administered to patients at discharge and at 2, 4, and 6 weeksafter discharge, and the results were compared. ResultsAll participants completed this program. Participants had statistically improved upper limb function (upper arm function score, hand movements score, advanced hand activities score, total Motor Assessment Scale score) and MoCA score at 2, 4, and 6 weeks after discharge (P < 0.001). In the comparison of upper limb function and cognitive function at each of the study times, we found statistically improved upper limb function (upper arm function score, hand movements score, advanced hand activities score, total Motor Assessment Scale score) and MoCA score at 4, and 6 weeks after discharge when compared to after discharge and 2 weeks after discharge, respectively (P < 0.05). ConclusionsContinuing care of patients post-stroke after discharge from hospital, such as F.F. home-based program should be applied at home to enhance upper limb and cognitive function.

Pelatihan Pembuatan Media Math Game Berbasis Android

Most students consider mathematics as a difficult subject to understand, unpleasant and tends to be boring. Many students consider mathematics as a boring subject because all discussions of mathematics involve numbers and examples. This concept applies to all levels of education, both elementary, secondary and higher education. The purpose of this training is to explain methods that can increase students' interest in learning mathematics. The solution provided in this training is to help mathematics teachers in implementing mathematics learning using android games. The methods used in this community service are observation, planning, implementation and evaluation. Based on the results of this community service, it is concluded that the application of learning aids using a mathematics learning platform on an android game will increase students' interest in learning mathematics.

Practicing Critical Thinking Skills Through an Android Game on the Human Reproductive System

This study aimed to aid in practicing critical thinking skills through an android game about the human reproductive system. A descriptive method was used in this study, in which students did their own exploration using the Android game named Human Reproductive System and Sex Education (HUPROSED). Six indicators of critical thinking skills based on Facione’s work were analyzed. The six indicators were interpretation, analysis, inference, evaluation, and explanation. Forty six students were chosen to review the game by purposive sampling. This research’s critical thinking skills were included in the quiz question in line with HOTS (High order thinking skills) about the human reproductive system, such as the menstruation cycle, sexually transmitted diseases, sperm, the concept of twins, and HIV, which usually have cognitive skills above C4 (applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating). In the game, students answered the quiz. Five test items based on critical thinking were used to exercise students’ critical thinking skills. The test got a score of 65 on average. Therefore, this research demonstrated how the android game “HUPROSED” may be used to teach students about the human reproductive system and sex education while also allowing students to practice critical thinking, although it still needs to be developed.&#x0D; Keywords: critical thinking skills, android game, human reproductive system

SignIt! An Android game for sign bilingual play that collects labelled sign language data

The Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) community constitutes over 430 million people globally, with about 70 million of them using sign language as their primary means of communication. India has around 63 million DHH individuals. The DHH community in India faces several challenges, particularly in learning sign language and English, due to delayed diagnosis, stigma, oralism, and a diversity of languages. Digital games for spoken and sign language learning have gained popularity due to their advantages over traditional language learning methods, such as enhanced engagement and socialization, driving increased research and adoption over traditional methods. Moreover, the development of robust machine learning models for sign language recognition, which could significantly improve access for signers, is currently impeded by the scarcity of labelled sign language data. To address these challenges, we collaborated with NISH, an academic institution for the DHH community and developed SignIt!, an accessible and inclusive quiz platform that facilitates the learning of English and Indian Sign Language (ISL) with a secondary goal of data collection. To assess the game's usability, we conducted a study with 20 members of the DHH community, followed by interviewing 15 participants. Overall, our participants answered 2160 quiz questions and created 210 questions. The quiz creation resulted in the collection of three hours of labelled real-world sign language data. The interviews revealed novel insights, such as a preference for playing competitively with friends, empowerment by their agency to be content creators, and early signs of learning English, sign language, and quiz content by playing and creating quizzes. We plan to open-source and release SignIt! to increase its adoption among diverse DHH communities.
