Objective: Older adults have an increased risk of developing persistent cognitive complaints after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Yet, studies exploring which factors protect older adults with mTBI from developing such complaints are rare. It has been suggested that one such factor may be cognitive reserve (CR), but it is unknown how CR influences cognition in this patient category.

Older adults comprise a distinct population, with an increased vulnerability for mTBI due to comorbid diseases and age-associated frailty compared with the adult population. The aim of this study was to assess the recovery course and determinants of outcome in a large cohort of older patients with mTBI.

This review investigated these advancements in terms of providing practical, low-cost solutions for the diagnosis and analysis of movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, ataxia, dyskinesia, and Tourette syndrome. Traditional diagnostic methods for movement disorders are typically reliant on the subjective assessment of motor symptoms, which poses inherent challenges.

Background: Synchronous acquisition of haemodynamic signals is crucial for their multimodal analysis, such as dynamic cerebral autoregulation (DCA) analysis of arterial blood pressure (ABP) and transcranial Doppler (TCD)-derived cerebral blood velocity (CBv). Several technical problems can, however, lead to (varying) time-shifts between the different signals. These can be difficult to recognise and can strongly influence the multimodal analysis results.

Lower pre-morbid cognitive reserve (CR) is increasingly investigated as a risk factor for cognitive dysfunction in OA. However, how CR protects against effects of mTBI at the brain level remains largely understudied.
