Robot-aided assessment and associated brain lesions of impaired ankle proprioception in chronic stroke

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...

Enhancing Fall Risk Assessment: Instrumenting Vision with Deep Learning During Walks

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...

Impact of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on cortical activity: a systematic review and meta-analysis utilizing functional near-infrared spectroscopy evaluation

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Impact of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on Cortical Activity - Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Evaluation Background Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a device that induces currents within the cerebral cortex through the generation of a magnetic fiel...

Trend Change Analysis of Postural Balance in Parkinson’s Disease Discriminates Between Medication State

Analysis of Trend Changes in Static Balance of Parkinson’s Disease Patients to Distinguish Drug States Introduction Maintaining static body balance is crucial for daily living, which requires coordination between different body segments. Any change or decline in balance ability increases the risk of falling. Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) e...

Time Synchronization Between Parietal–Frontocentral Connectivity with MRCP and Gait in Post-Stroke Bipedal Tasks

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...
