Prevalence of pain in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Physical pain is a known symptom in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but no systematically derived prevalence estimate is available. The aim of this study was to determine the pooled prevalence of pain in ALS, relative to its method of measurement and pain characteristics. : A systematic search across multiple databases was conducted on January 16, 2020.

Measuring gait with an accelerometer-based wearable: influence of device location, testing protocol and age.

Wearables such as accelerometers are emerging as powerful tools for quantifying gait in various environments. Flexibility in wearable location may improve ease of use and data acquisition during instrumented testing. However, change of location may impact algorithm functionality when evaluating associated gait characteristics.
