Auch geht es um die Bedeutung von Erleben und Erfahren, um die Indikation und Kontraindikation von Techniken, die therapeutische Beziehung und die Wirkprinzipien der Koerperpsychotherapie. Geschrieben fur Psychologische und AErztliche Psychotherapeuten, Koerper- und Bewegungstherapeuten, Studierende und Interessierte. Aus dem Inhalt: Wahrnehmen und Spuren - Gewahrsein und Gegenwart - Erkunden und Entdecken - Aktivieren und Ausdrucken - Regulieren und Modulieren - Zentrieren und Erden - Beruhren und Halten - Inszenieren und Interagieren - Verkoerpern und Handeln - Reorganisieren und Transformieren.

Advanced Rehabilitative Technology: Neural Interfaces and Devices teaches readers how to acquire and process bio-signals using biosensors and acquisition devices, how to identify the human movement intention and decode the brain signal, how to design physiological and musculoskeletal models and establish the neural interfaces, and how to develop neural devices and control them efficiently using biological signals. The book takes a multidisciplinary theme between the engineering and medical field, including sections on neuromuscular/brain signal processing, human motion and intention recognition, biomechanics modelling and interfaces, and neural devices and control for rehabilitation. Each chapter goes through a detailed description of the bio-mechatronic systems used and then presents implementation and testing tactics. In addition, it details new neural interfaces and devices, some of which have never been published before in any journals or conferences. With this book, readers will quickly get up-to-speed on the most recent and future advancements in bio-mechatronics engineering for applications in rehabilitation.

Meike Schulte geht der Frage nach, inwieweit sich die Effektivitat der Aphasietherapie in der chronischen Phase steigern lasst. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird in dieser Studie die kombinierte Intervention aus einem gruppentherapeutischen Therapiekonzept (CIAT-COLLOC NK) und einer nicht-invasiven Hirnstimulationsmethode (tDCS) erprobt. Diese Verbindung erweist sich als ausserst effektiv. Alle teilnehmenden Probanden profitieren von der kombinierten Intervention. UEberwiegend lasst sich zudem der isolierte Mehrwert der Hirnstimulation belegen. Weiterhin wird deutlich, dass die Kontrolle der diversen Einflussfaktoren auf dieses Therapiegefuge eine besondere Herausforderung darstellt. Innerhalb von Folgestudien mussen diese ersten Ergebnisse anhand von groesseren Stichproben abgesichert werden. Die Autorin Meike Schulte hat sich in ihrem Forschungsprojekt an der RWTH Aachen und im Rahmen ihrer Mitarbeit in der Sektion Klinische Kognitionswissenschaften mit der Erprobung verschiedener Hirnstimulationsmethoden befasst. Derzeitig ist sie in der klinischen Versorgung von Schlaganfallpatienten tatig.
