Objective: To investigate the effects of sensory reweighting on postural control and cortical activity in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) compared to age-matched controls using a virtual reality sensory organization test (VR-SOT).
Design: Cross-sectional pilot study.
Setting: University research laboratory.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how a cognitive-motor rehabilitation program combining treadmill training with virtual reality (TT+VR) impacts frailty in individuals with multiple sclerosis (pwMS).
- Participants were evaluated in a multicenter trial, with 83 pwMS completing a 6-week intervention to measure changes in frailty using a validated index.
- Results showed overall improvements in frailty for both training groups, but the TT+VR group had significantly better cognitive-related improvements compared to the treadmill-only group.
Aims: Balance requires the cortical control of visual, somatosensory, and vestibular inputs. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare the contributions of each of these systems on postural control and cortical activity using a sensory reweighting approach between participants with Parkinson's disease (PD) and controls.
Methods: Ten participants with PD (age: 72 ± 9; 3 women; Hoehn & Yahr: 2 [1.
Introduction: Older adults with preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) show changes in on-road driving performance. The impact of preclinical AD on using automated vehicle (AV) technology is unknown. The aim was to evaluate safety and cognitive workload while operating AV technology in drivers with preclinical AD.
