Background: Therapeutic climbing (TC) is a whole-body workout that stimulates and improves physical and psychosocial abilities. It has been used in neurological rehabilitation, but there is scarce evidence of specific benefits for people with Parkinson's (PwP).
Objective: To investigate and evaluate self-reported differences in health and well-being among trial participants, the overall feasibility of TC and clinical changes caused as a rehabilitation measure for PwP.
Article Synopsis
- Multidisciplinary inpatient rehabilitation (MIR) for people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) significantly reduced lower limb spasticity and improved strength and mobility after a 4-week program.
- After MIR, participants who used the MS-Spasticity App for self-training showed sustained improvement in spasticity, while those using a paper-based method experienced worsening symptoms.
- The app also resulted in better adherence to the self-training program, with a completion rate of 95% compared to 72% for the paper method.
Little is known about possible sex and gender differences in post-stroke neurorehabilitation outcomes. We aimed to analyze if functional performance, prevalence and impact of comorbidities at admission, and success of inpatient stroke-neurorehabilitation differ between men and women. Retrospective cohort analysis of 1,437 men and 907 women with prior cerebral infarction treated at a neurorehabilitation clinic between 2012 and 2017; multiple linear regression was used to examine the influence of sex/gender as well as multiple confounders on health and functional outcomes.

Objectives: To analyse if the MoBE can also be found in the Austrian MS population, and if so, whether the pattern is similar to the reported pattern in Canada, United Kingdom, and some Scandinavian countries.
Methods: The data of 7886 MS patients in Austria were compared to all live births in Austria from 1940 to 2010, that is, 7.
Background: Visual field defects after posterior cerebral artery stroke can be improved by vision restoration training (VRT), but when combined with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which alters brain excitability, vision recovery can be potentiated in the chronic stage. To date, the combination of VRT and tDCS has not been evaluated in postacute stroke rehabilitation.
Objectives: To determine whether combined tDCS and VRT can be effectively implemented in the early recovery phase following stroke, and to explore the feasibility, safety and efficacy of an early intervention.
