Exoskeleton Training for Spinal Cord Injury Neuropathic Pain (ExSCIP): Protocol for a Phase 2 Feasibility Randomised Trial.

Background: Following Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), 53% of people develop neuropathic pain (NP). NP can be more debilitating than other consequences of SCI, and a persistent health issue. Pharmacotherapies are commonly recommended for NP management in SCI, although severe pain often remains refractory to these treatments in many sufferers.

Effectiveness of rehabilitation programmes targeting quality of life, psychological wellbeing, and functional capacity in pulmonary embolism survivors; a systematic review and best evidence synthesis.

Background: Half of people post pulmonary embolism (PE) experience ongoing symptoms such as dyspnoea, anxiety and depression, exercise limitation and fatigue. These symptoms can reduce their quality of life (QoL), psychological wellbeing, and functional capacity. The efficacy of rehabilitation interventions to prevent and manage these symptoms has not been established.

Brain (EEG) and muscle (EMG) activity related to 3D sit-to-stand kinematics in healthy adults and in central neurological pathology - A systematic review.

Background: The sit-to-stand transfer is a fundamental functional movement during normal activities of daily living. Central nervous system disorders can negatively impact the execution of sit-to-stand transfers, often impeding successful completion. Despite its importance, the neurophysiological basis at muscle (electromyography (EMG)) and brain (electroencephalography (EEG)) level as related to the kinematic movement is not well understood.
