The incorporation of performance information into the budget is, however, still work in progress. Local politicians perceive the usability of non-financial information in the budget as low and do not use such information intensively for budget composition or other purposes. German municipal budgets are usually voluminous because of their highly detailed structure and the large amount of displayed performance data which rarely informs about outcomes. Such information does not meet the needs of councillors, for example in their struggles with political opponents. Some options for improving the usability of budgetary information are presented.}, language = {en} } @article{PawassarTiberius2021, author = {Pawassar, Christian Matthias and Tiberius, Victor}, title = {Virtual reality in health care}, series = {JMIR Serious Games}, volume = {9}, journal = {JMIR Serious Games}, edition = {4}, publisher = {JMIR Publications}, address = {Toronto, Kanada}, issn = {2291-9279}, doi = {10.2196/32721}, pages = {1 -- 19}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Background: Research into the application of virtual reality technology in the health care sector has rapidly increased, resulting in a large body of research that is difficult to keep up with. Objective: We will provide an overview of the annual publication numbers in this field and the most productive and influential countries, journals, and authors, as well as the most used, most co-occurring, and most recent keywords. Methods: Based on a data set of 356 publications and 20,363 citations derived from Web of Science, we conducted a bibliometric analysis using BibExcel, HistCite, and VOSviewer. Results: The strongest growth in publications occurred in 2020, accounting for 29.49\% of all publications so far. The most productive countries are the United States, the United Kingdom, and Spain; the most influential countries are the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The most productive journals are the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR), JMIR Serious Games, and the Games for Health Journal; the most influential journals are Patient Education and Counselling, Medical Education, and Quality of Life Research. The most productive authors are Riva, del Piccolo, and Schwebel; the most influential authors are Finset, del Piccolo, and Eide. The most frequently occurring keywords other than "virtual" and "reality" are "training," "trial," and "patients." The most relevant research themes are communication, education, and novel treatments; the most recent research trends are fitness and exergames. Conclusions: The analysis shows that the field has left its infant state and its specialization is advancing, with a clear focus on patient usability.}, language = {en} } @article{HoermanndosSantosMorkischetal.2017, author = {H{\"o}rmann, Simon and dos Santos, Luara Ferreira and Morkisch, Nadine and Jettkowski, Katrin and Sillis, Moran and Devan, Hemakumar and Kanagasabai, Parimala S. and Schmidt, Henning and Kr{\"u}ger, J{\"o}rg and Dohle, Christian and Regenbrecht, Holger and Hale, Leigh and Cutfield, Nicholas J.}, title = {Computerised mirror therapy with Augmented Reflection Technology for early stroke rehabilitation}, series = {Disability and rehabilitation : an international, multidisciplinary journal}, volume = {39}, journal = {Disability and rehabilitation : an international, multidisciplinary journal}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {0963-8288}, doi = {10.1080/09638288.2017.1291765}, pages = {1503 -- 1514}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Purpose: New rehabilitation strategies for post-stroke upper limb rehabilitation employing visual stimulation show promising results, however, cost-efficient and clinically feasible ways to provide these interventions are still lacking. An integral step is to translate recent technological advances, such as in virtual and augmented reality, into therapeutic practice to improve outcomes for patients. This requires research on the adaptation of the technology for clinical use as well as on the appropriate guidelines and protocols for sustainable integration into therapeutic routines. Here, we present and evaluate a novel and affordable augmented reality system (Augmented Reflection Technology, ART) in combination with a validated mirror therapy protocol for upper limb rehabilitation after stroke. Results: The results showed that the combination and application of the Berlin Protocol for Mirror Therapy together with ART was feasible for clinical use. This combination was integrated into the therapeutic plan of subacute stroke patients at the two clinical locations where the second part of this research was conducted. Conclusions: Our findings pave the way for using technology to provide mirror therapy in clinical settings and show potential for the more effective use of inpatient time and enhanced recoveries for patients. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Computerised Mirror Therapy is feasible for clinical use Augmented Reflection Technology can be integrated as an adjunctive therapeutic intervention for subacute stroke patients in an inpatient setting Virtual Rehabilitation devices such as Augmented Reflection Technology have considerable potential to enhance stroke rehabilitation}, language = {en} }
