Fitness-to-drive recommendations in post-stroke patients: a retrospective study.

Background: Stroke sequelae can have an impact on daily life activities such as driving. French legislation stipulates that post-stroke patients should undergo a multi-professional fitness-to-drive assessment before being allowed to drive again. This retrospective study aims to explore the determinants of multi-professional fitness-to-drive recommendations.

Driving Automation for Older Adults with Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease.

Introduction: Older adults with preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) show changes in on-road driving performance. The impact of preclinical AD on using automated vehicle (AV) technology is unknown. The aim was to evaluate safety and cognitive workload while operating AV technology in drivers with preclinical AD.

Between-sessions test-retest reliability of prefrontal cortical activity during usual walking in patients with Parkinson's Disease: A fNIRS study.

Background: Examining between-sessions test-retest reliability of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) data is crucial to better interpret rehabilitation-related changes in the hemodynamic response.

Research Question: This study investigated test-retest reliability of prefrontal activity during usual walking in 14 patients with Parkinson's Disease with a fixed retest intervals of five weeks.

Methods: Fourteen patients performed usual walking in two sessions (T0 and T1).

Left and Right Cortical Activity Arising from Preferred Walking Speed in Older Adults.

Cortical activity and walking speed are known to decline with age and can lead to an increased risk of falls in the elderly. Despite age being a known contributor to this decline, individuals age at different rates. This study aimed to analyse left and right cortical activity changes in elderly adults regarding their walking speed.
