Background: Tele-neuropsychology has already been employed in neurocognitive disorders, however, in Italy, the evidence of its psychometric quality and satisfaction is still limited.
Objective: This study aimed to: (1) evaluate the reliability of a standardized battery of neuropsychological screening and domain-specific tests delivered at home via videoconference to a sample of Italian people with cognitive disorders, compared with traditional face-to-face administration; (2) assess the feasibility and satisfaction about remote administration.
Methods: This crossover study enrolled patients with subjective cognitive disorder, mild neurocognitive disorder, or dementia.
Cognitive impairment (CI) is common in α-synucleinopathies, i.e., Parkinson's disease, Lewy bodies dementia, and multiple system atrophy.

We present data on 49 consecutive cases of MRgFUS Vim thalamotomy followed-up for 3 years and review the literature on studies with longer follow-up data.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients who underwent MRgFUS thalamotomy (January 2018-December 2020) at our institution was performed.
Background: Gait disturbances represent one of the most disabling features of Parkinson's disease (PD).
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the non-inferiority of a new wearable visual cueing system (Q-Walk) for gait rehabilitation in PD subjects, compared to traditional visual cues (stripes on the floor).
Design: Open-label, monocentric, randomized controlled non-inferiority trial.
Article Synopsis
- The review highlights the increased life expectancy of brain tumor patients but acknowledges that many experience sensory-motor and cognitive disabilities due to the tumor and its treatments.
- It emphasizes the importance of early neurorehabilitation using a multidisciplinary approach to identify functional impairments and set achievable recovery goals.
- The review calls for greater awareness and research in neurorehabilitation among neuro-oncologists to enhance quality of life for these patients.
