The Impact of Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Robot Training on Balance and Lower Limb Function in Subacute Stroke Patients: A Preliminary, Randomized Controlled Trial Research Background and Purpose Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. With the rapid development of stroke treatment technology, the mortality rate of stroke has si...
Robot-Assisted Assessment of Chronic Stroke Adults’ Ankle Proprioception Deficits and Related Brain Injury Academic Background Stroke is a common neurological disorder, often resulting in hemiplegia, which affects the patient’s balance and gait control. Proprioception refers to the self-perception of body posture and movement, provided by mechanore...
Background Introduction Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, with the total number of stroke patients increasing globally due to population aging and urbanization. Although advances in treatment have reduced mortality rates, the number of survivors requiring rehabilitation has increased significantly. This is parti...
Introduction Fall events are common across various clinical populations, with usual risk assessments including visual observation of individual gait. However, gait observation assessments are typically confined to laboratory settings, involving standardized walking protocol tests to identify potential defects that might increase fall risk. Subtle d...
Research Report Background Introduction With an aging population and the increase in neurological and muscular diseases such as stroke, the risk of tripping and falling due to gait disorders has become a serious problem. Research shows that ankle dorsiflexion is crucial for ensuring foot clearance during the swing phase of gait. However, there is l...
Time Synchronization of Motor-Related Cortical Potentials and Parieto-Frontocentral Connectivity in Bilateral Tasks of Stroke Patients Background In stroke rehabilitation research, functional connectivity (FC), motor-related cortical potentials (MRCP), and gait activities are common metrics related to rehabilitation outcomes. Although these have be...
Research Background Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic antibody-mediated autoimmune disease that primarily affects synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction. Approximately 85% of MG patients are antibody-mediated targeting acetylcholine receptors (AChR). The clinical features of this disease include muscle weakness, especially fatigue-in...
Innovative Fusion in Neuron Classification: Shared Information from Human and Mouse Electrophysiological Data The scientific community has long faced significant challenges in neuron classification. Accurate classification of neurons is crucial for understanding brain function in both healthy and diseased states. This study, led by Ofek Ophir, Orit...
A New Breakthrough in Neuroinformatics: Research Report on Cadence Tool for Calcium Event Detection Background Introduction Calcium imaging technology has revolutionized the study of neuron ensembles, providing researchers with a powerful tool to simultaneously visualize and monitor multiple neuronal activities. Calcium imaging utilizes fluorescent...
Academic Background It is widely recognized that the cognitive function of patients with high-grade glioma is affected by the location and volume of the tumor. However, research on how to accurately predict individual patients’ cognitive function for personalized treatment decisions before and after surgery remains limited. Currently, most studies ...
