Article Synopsis
- People with rare neurological diseases (RNDs) often experience movement disorders, and a multidisciplinary rehabilitation approach, including telemedicine, can enhance treatment consistency and personalization.
- A scoping review was conducted to analyze available literature on telerehabilitation and teleassessment interventions for movement disorders in RNDs, resulting in 18 relevant studies focusing on various technologies like wearable sensors and virtual reality.
- Key findings indicated positive effects on gait, balance, and limb disability, but limitations such as small sample sizes and lack of standardized protocols were noted, highlighting the need for more rigorous research to improve remote rehabilitation and patient quality of life.
Objectives: Prior ischemic cerebrovascular event and younger age have been shown to increase bleeding acceptance among anticoagulated outpatients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We sought to determine factors affecting bleeding acceptance in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) survivors on various types of antithrombotic therapy.
Materials And Methods: We enrolled 173 consecutive patients hospitalized for AIS (aged 68.
We sought to investigate whether regular balance training of moderate intensity (BT) has an effect on changes in selected cytokines, neurotrophic factors, CD200 and fractalkine in healthy older adults and participants with Parkinson's disease (PD). Sixty-two subjects were divided into groups depending on experimental intervention: (1) group of people with PD participating in BT (PDBT), (2) group of healthy older people participating in BT (HBT), (3,4) control groups including healthy individuals (HNT) and people with PD (PDNT). Blood samples were collected twice: before and after 12 weeks of balance exercise (PDBT, HBT), or 12 weeks apart (PDNT, HNT).

Seventy-four older adults were randomly divided into three groups (mean age 65.34 ± 3.

Currently, no therapy can effectively improve the cognitive deficits associated with FTD. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive method of inducing brain plasticity with therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative diseases.

Methods: Thirty-two subjects with PD (14 women and 18 men; age: 50-75 years) were qualified for the study, which ran for 3 weeks and included 18 therapeutic sessions. Thirty-five control subjects were included in the research (13 women and 19 men; age: 52-77 years).
