Reliability, Concurrent Validity, Responsiveness and Measurement Error of the Portuguese Version of Comprehensive Motor Coordination Scale in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease.

Introduction: Assessment of motor coordination in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) is based on motor performance and does not consider movement quality.

Objective: To validate the Comprehensive Coordination Scale (CCS) in patients with PD and correlate it with motor impairment.

Methods: This cross-sectional and case-control study included 15 individuals with PD and 15 healthy older individuals as controls.

The effect of transcranial direct current stimulation combined with task-specific training on spatio-temporal gait parameters and functional mobility in individuals with stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has a priming effect on post- stroke motor rehabilitation.

Objective: We verified whether tDCS combined with task-specific training was superior to nonintervention, task-specific training, or simulated intervention in improving spatio-temporal gait parameters and functional mobility in stroke patients.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane Central, Web of Science, and LILACS for articles published until May 2024, using terms related to stroke, tDCS, and task-specific training.

Does non-invasive brain stimulation improve spatiotemporal gait parameters in people with multiple sclerosis? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes progressive functional impairment, mainly in walking tasks. Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) could influence the motor function and improving gait ability of patients.

Objective: The aim was to analyze the effects of NIBS (transcranial direct current stimulation [tDCS] or transcranial magnetic stimulation [TMS] on functional locomotion in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS).

Decreased functional mobility in individuals with mild to moderate expanded disability status from relapsing multiple sclerosis: Analysis of the Glittre-ADL test.

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease that significantly limits an individual's activities of daily living (ADLs) and negatively affects their social participation as it progresses. The impact of activities and participation must be continuously assessed, and the Glittre-ADL is a validated test for MS to assess functional capacity in tasks similar to ADLs.

Objective: To evaluate whether the Glittre-ADL test is a valid method for assessing functional mobility in individuals with MS and moderate disability or those who use assistive devices.

Perception of verticality in the post-COVID-19 condition correlates to infection severity.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection affects multiple systems, including musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory systems. Changes associated with physical inactivity due to prolonged hospitalization can affect the functional capacity of individuals with long coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or post-COVID-19 condition and may cause changes in some postural control functions, such as verticality.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the perception of verticality in individuals with long COVID.
