Revisiting Diagnostic Criteria for Bilateral Vestibulopathy: A New Comprehensive Instrumental Model.

Bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) is a disabling condition characterized by a deficit in vestibular function on both sides. Current diagnostic criteria consider instrumental data only from horizontal canals, excluding vertical canals and otolithic function, with the possibility of not including some variants of BVP. This study aims to evaluate vestibular functions in people with chronic vestibular syndrome through a comprehensive battery of tests.

Quantifying Treatments as Usual and with Technologies in Neurorehabilitation of Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury.

Several technologies have been introduced into neurorehabilitation programs to enhance traditional treatment of individuals with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Their effectiveness has been widely investigated, but their adoption has not been properly quantified. The aim of this study is to assess the distribution of conventional (Treatment As Usual-TAU) and technology-aided (Treatment With Technologies-TWT) treatments conveniently grouped based on different therapeutic goals in a selected SCI unit.

Abnormal Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Function Correlates with Balance and Gait Impairment in People with Multiple Sclerosis.

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent autoimmune neurological condition in the world, leading to a wide variety of symptoms, including balance disorders.

Objective: To evaluate the angular vestibulo-ocular reflex (aVOR) of all six semicircular canals (SCCs) through Head Impulse (HIMP) and Suppression HIMP (SHIMP) paradigms and any correlations with clinical balance scales.

Methods: All participants were assessed using the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Mini-BESTest (MBT).

A Critical Appraisal of Reporting in Randomized Controlled Trials Investigating Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment: A Meta-Research Study.

: In osteopathy, it becomes necessary to produce high-quality evidence to demonstrate its effectiveness. The aim of this meta-research study is to assess the reporting quality of RCTs published in the osteopathic field. : The protocol was preliminarily registered on the "Open Science Framework (OSF)" website.
