Currently, there is a significant unmet need for rehabilitation services, and it is frequently undervalued in the health system. As populations age and the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases and injuries increases, and the demand for rehabilitation grows, strengthening rehabilitation in health systems becomes ever more paramount. Conventional rehabilitation service can be costly and time consuming to people not living near the rehabilitation centres. Often people with lower income who live in rural areas refuse rehabilitation services due to the logistic issue. On the other hand, in urban areas, most people are too busy with their daily activities and unable to keep their therapy schedule consistently. In consequence, patients do not enjoy the actual benefit of rehabilitation because of a certain limitation such as cost and time. These limitations can be surpassed by putting telerehabilitation, an emerging area of performing rehabilitation medical treatment with the use of technology from a distance into practice. Scientific studies of telerehabilitation in the current literature are discussing primarily in the area of readiness, technologies, and illnesses such as children autism and heart failure. However, there is limited evidence about telerehabilitation service for stroke patients, concentrating on the pre-implementation and implementation stages, which makes this paper viable and significant, potentially for telerehabilitation implementation in Malaysia. This paper proposes a new conceptual model of hybrid telerehabilitation that combines several technological principles, such as cloud, virtual reality, and computer-based system. The model was derived based on a study of a public tertiary hospital in Malaysia. The current traditional system was investigated and discussed. A new telerehabilitation model is proposed to widen the access for rehabilitation to patients of all ages. © 2019 IEEE. |

According to the most recent reports for Disease Control Data (DCD), ASD affects one in 68 children in the US only. It has been recognized as a neurological disorder characterized by difficulties in social communication and social interaction; abnormal body posturing; repetitive movements and self-abusive behavior. There is no cure for ASD but efforts to mitigate difficulties in social functioning, learning, and to improve quality of life of persons with ASD is usually through behavioral therapy. Robot-assisted behavioral therapy is one emerging field that provides intervention mainly for children with ASD, so far, only to augment traditional rehabilitation approaches. In this approach, robots have been used for different purposes such as for behavior eliciting, rehearsing skills, and improving interaction and socialization skills. Nonetheless, there are still a lot to be done in developing robots that can effectively work towards improving social and emotional confidence in children with ASD. This paper sheds light on recent studies that utilize deep learning technique and sets out to propose a deep learning-based emotion detection system for humanoid robots to enhance robot awareness during therapy sessions. We present a model of the emotion-aware robot-assisted therapy which is expected to ease the prediction and recognition for the emotion and behaviors of autistic children and enhance robot intervention during rehabilitation. It was found that the proposed DL model when tested on an improved trial dataset of normal subjects has increased the accuracy of detection. However, while new deep learning technologies for facial expression recognition algorithms could lead to higher detection accuracy, it is clear from that the size and reliability of the data will be the success factor in this study. © 2019, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering.

Gamification is a term that has been used recently to depict games application in other non-game field. However, there is no specific gamification framework designed for autism children in supporting their interaction skills. Before gamification process begin, it is very important to identify which frameworks or model exist and their main elements related to the scopes. Poor gamification design leads to the challenge to fulfill the research objectives, which aimed to enhance autism interaction skills among children. This review classifies existing methods and offers valuable insight on gamified solutions for autism children in supporting their interaction skills. © 2019 IEEE. |

Despite the importance of both skills in the reading comprehension and overall learning, a limited number of studies have been found. These include seven studies on language comprehension and seven studies on decoding. The shortlisted studies were analysed and a very limited number of modalities were found to have been used; text, graphics, audio, video, and mouse movement are used in all the studies and are termed basic modalities. Statistical analysis was also conducted on three parameters: (1) outcome of the study; (2) generalisation; and (3) maintenance. The analysis showed that CBIs were effective in facilitating these children’s learning; there was a significant improvement in the performance of children from the baseline to during and the post-intervention period. The analysis of generalisation has revealed positive results, indicating that the children were able to transfer information to a different setting or situation. Positive results are also noted from the analysis of maintenance, which indicate that the children retained information following the withdrawal of intervention. The combination of teachers’ instructions and CBI has provided better results than using either of them separately. This study has discovered 23 potential modalities and 2 potential CBIs including serious games and virtual learning environments that can be explored for language comprehension and decoding skills. © 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. |

GluA2 has an especially important role because, following post-transcriptional editing at the Q607 site, it renders heteromultimeric AMPARs Ca2+-impermeable, with a linear relationship between current and trans-membrane voltage. Here, we report heterozygous de novo GRIA2 mutations in 28 unrelated patients with intellectual disability (ID) and neurodevelopmental abnormalities including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Rett syndrome-like features, and seizures or developmental epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). In functional expression studies, mutations lead to a decrease in agonist-evoked current mediated by mutant subunits compared to wild-type channels. When GluA2 subunits are co-expressed with GluA1, most GRIA2 mutations cause a decreased current amplitude and some also affect voltage rectification. Our results show that de-novo variants in GRIA2 can cause neurodevelopmental disorders, complementing evidence that other genetic causes of ID, ASD and DEE also disrupt glutamatergic synaptic transmission. © 2019, The Author(s). |

The 24 behavioral items in the tool were determined through routine observations carried out by clinicians and the definitions of autism adopted by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). 34 experts determined content validity and tool reliability by viewpoints through the Likert scale. The tool was found to have good content validity with more than 67% of experts scored at least 3 on the 5-point Likert scale. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.872 reflected the tool's content reliability and internal consistency.

The 24 behavioral items in the tool were determined through routine observations carried out by clinicians and the definitions of autism adopted by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). 34 experts determined content validity and tool reliability by viewpoints through the Likert scale. The tool was found to have good content validity with more than 67% of experts scored at least 3 on the 5-point Likert scale. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.872 reflected the tool's content reliability and internal consistency.
