Background: Use of exergames can complement conventional therapy and increase the amount and intensity of visuospatial neglect (VSN) training. A series of 9 exergames-games based on therapeutic principles-aimed at improving exploration of the neglected space for patients with VSN symptoms poststroke was developed and tested for its feasibility.

Exergaming and rehabilitation: A methodology for the design of effective and safe therapeutic exergames PIROVANO, Michele; Sürer, Elif; MAINETTI, Renato; LANZİ, Pier Luca; BORGHESE, N. Alberto (2016-05-01) We present here a comprehensive definition of therapeutic exergames from which a methodology to create safe exergames for real therapy pathways is derived. Three main steps are identified. (I) A clear identification of all the exercise requirements, not only in terms of goals of the therapy, but also in terms of additional constraints. Characteristic parameters for determining the challenge level and to assess progression are also defined in this phase. (II) The exercise is transformed into a Virtual Exerci...
An ınvestigation of a complementary feedback model for l2 writing: peer and teacher feedback versus teacher feedback Tokdemir Demirel, Elif; Enginarlar, Hüsnü; Department of English Language Teaching (2009) This study aimed at developing a complementary peer-teacher feedback model, in which students and teachers share the responsibility of providing feedback in a systematic way and testing its effectiveness. The effectiveness of the developed feedback model on improving students’ writing ability was tested in the context of a multiple draft writing course which followed a process approach with 57 preparatory class students at Karadeniz Technical University, Department of English Language and Literature for a p...
Efficacy of a problem-solving therapy for depression and suicide potential in adolescents and young adults ESKİN, MEHMET; Ertekin, Kamil; Demir, Hadiye (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-04-01) Short-term and structured cognitive behavioral problem-solving therapy (PST) is a developmentally relevant mode of action for the treatment of emotional problems in young people. This study aimed at testing the efficacy of a problem-solving therapy in treating depression and suicide potential in adolescents and young adults. A total of 46 self-referred high school and university students who were randomly assigned to a problem-solving therapy (n = 27) and a waiting list control (n = 19) conditions completed...
Incremental Processing of Morphosyntax for Counterfactual Reasoning: An Eye-tracking Study with Turkish-speaking Children and Adults Aktepe, Semih Can; Özge, Duygu; Department of English Language Teaching (2022-9) This study aimed to investigate whether children as young as age four can incrementally use morphosyntactic cues for counterfactual reasoning at adult-like level. Therefore, in this study, we answered (i) when children can reason adult-like using counterfactuals and (ii) whether they can incrementally integrate the morphosyntax of counterfactuals in a language that encodes both the conditional and counterfactual meaning in concatenated verbal suffixes, Turkish. We conducted an eye-tracking experiment using ...
Estimation of Ground Reaction Forces Using Low-Cost Instrumented Forearm Crutches Seylan, Çağlar; Saranlı, Uluç (2018-06-01) Instrumented crutches are useful for many rehabilitation tasks, including monitoring the correctness of crutch use, analyzing gait properties for patients with lower-limb impairments, as well as providing sensory data for controlling lower-body robotic orthoses. In this paper, we describe the design and analysis of an instrumented crutch system equipped with low-cost accelerometer and pressure sensors to estimate all components of the ground reaction force (GRF), providing a well-defined and physically mean...
