Background: As one of the leading causes of disability in the world, stroke can determine a reduction of balance performance with a negative impact on daily activity and social life. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of sensor-based balance training with exergaming feedback on balance skills in chronic stroke patients.
Methods: 21 individuals (11F, 57.
Introduction: Spinal cord injuries (SCI) often result in motor impairment and lifelong disability.
Methods: This systematic review, conducted in agreement with PRISMA guidelines, aimed to evaluate the effects of cortico-spinal paired associative stimulation (PAS) on motor outcomes in individuals with SCI. PubMed, Scopus/EMBASE, Pedro, and Cochrane databases were consulted from inception to 2023/01/12.
Article Synopsis
- The paper studies how well a type of treatment called EMG-biofeedback (EMG-BFB) works for people who have primary headaches.
- Researchers looked at lots of articles and found 29 that had useful information about EMG-BFB for headaches.
- The results showed some improvement in the intensity of headache attacks, but the treatment didn't seem to help reduce how often or how long the headaches lasted.
Determining the walking ability of post-stroke patients is crucial for the design of rehabilitation programs and the correct functional information to give to patients and their caregivers at their return home after a neurorehabilitation program. We aimed to assess the convergent validity of three different walking tests: the Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) test, the 10-m walking test (10MeWT) and the 6-minute walking test (6MWT). Eighty walking participants with stroke (34 F, age 64.

The present review aims to explore the use of Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) in the treatment of visual perception in Unilateral Spatial Neglect (USN) after a stroke. PubMed, Scopus, Embase and Pedro databases were searched, from inception to 1 February 2022. All studies that investigated the effect of IVR on USN, such as outcome in the stroke population, have been included.
