  • * Researchers used a smartphone-based virtual reality system to measure dynamic and static subjective visual vertical (SVV) among 40 older adults, assessing the reliability of these measurements through retests after one week.
  • * Results show that the dynamic SVV and visual dependency (VD) had good to excellent test-retest reliability, demonstrating that the smartphone VR method is a portable and effective tool for clinical applications in understanding balance issues in older adults.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study reviewed the top 50 influential articles on stroke rehabilitation to analyze factors like citations, publication year, study designs, and research topics, while assessing their evidence levels and methodological quality.
  • - It included a focused assessment of the most recent 10 articles (from the past 5 years) to identify any emerging trends in research quality and methodology.
  • - Key findings showed that popular topics included noninvasive brain stimulation and robotic rehabilitation, and neither the number of citations nor the citation density correlated with methodological quality, indicating that citations may not be a good measure of research quality.
