This study demonstrates that combining rhythmic auditory cueing with anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the supplementary motor area independently and effectively improves gait speed, cadence, and stability in Parkinson's disease patients, suggesting a promising complementary rehabilitation approach.
This study demonstrates that personalized epidural stimulation using a 32-contact cervical paddle array, guided by individualized motor pool recruitment maps, successfully restored volitional hand function and coordinated upper-limb movements in two individuals with chronic complete spinal cord injuries.
This study of over 4,900 older adults reveals that physical activity components such as muscle strength, mechanical strain, and turning actions follow distinct, independent, and sex-specific long-term trajectories, suggesting that future interventions should target these multiple dimensions separately rather than relying on traditional single-measure approaches.
This first-in-human case study demonstrates that pairing an implantable brain-computer interface with cervical epidural spinal cord stimulation to deliver intention-driven neuromodulation induces corticospinal plasticity and yields immediate, sustained improvements in upper-limb motor function for an individual with chronic, motor-complete tetraplegia.
The study demonstrates that the HAMR framework, which generates customized agonist/antagonist tendon-driven prosthetic hands based on individual morphology and functional needs, significantly improves task performance and reduces user burden compared to designs with generalized anthropomorphic geometry, particularly for gross motor activities.
This cross-sectional study of 232 patients in Gujarat, India, found that while the majority were satisfied with their physiotherapy consultations and shared their ideas, very few expressed concerns, highlighting a gap in patient-centered communication despite high overall satisfaction.
This multisite observational cohort study found that only 40.1% of stroke rehabilitation patients participated in cardiorespiratory exercise, with participation significantly hindered by cardiac and mental health conditions or severe mobility limitations, and even among those who exercised, merely 1.5% met recommended intensity and duration guidelines.
This pilot study demonstrates that baseline otolithic structural integrity, assessed via cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, is a critical determinant of subjective recovery in vestibular rehabilitation, suggesting that patients with bilateral structural loss face a physiological "floor" limiting meaningful symptom relief despite functional gains.
This study demonstrates that early subacute stroke rehabilitation is associated with a significant recovery in bilateral coordination of soleus motor units, where the reduction in inter-limb synchronization lag strongly correlates with improvements in clinical balance scores, despite persistent deficits in postural stability and directional tuning.
This prospective cross-sectional study demonstrates that symptom burden, particularly physical function and pain catastrophizing, explains the majority of variability in pain intensity and interference among adults with unexplained neck/shoulder myofascial pain, suggesting that multidimensional network analysis can improve clinical risk stratification and shift treatment focus from regional pain contributors to the whole patient.
