Exploring the Influence of BMI on Gait Metrics: A Comprehensive Analysis of Spatiotemporal Parameters and Stability Indicators.

Background: Gait analysis is a vital tool for evaluating overall health and predicting outcomes such as mortality and cognitive decline. This study explores how normal and obese BMI categories impact gait dynamics, addressing gaps in understanding the effect of body composition on specific gait parameters.

Research Question: The primary objective is to investigate differences in spatiotemporal gait parameters-specifically, gait speed, step length, cadence, and double support time-between normal and obese BMI groups to understand the effects of obesity on gait.

Functional connectivity in ADHD children doing Go/No-Go tasks: An fMRI systematic review and meta-analysis.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders diagnosed in childhood. Two common features of ADHD are impaired behavioural inhibition and sustained attention. The Go/No-Go experimental paradigm with concurrent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning has previously revealed important neurobiological correlates of ADHD such as the supplementary motor area and the prefrontal cortex.

The subjective and objective quality of life score (SOQOLTM) for the quantification of general health status: a preliminary study with initial normative population values.

Background: Established health-related quality of life scores do not consider both subjective and objective indices of health. We propose the subjective and objective quality of life score (SOQOL) for the comprehensive assessment of health-related quality of life and aim to provide normative population data. The SOQOL is compatible with smartphone applications, allowing widespread use on a global scale.

Continuous data capture of gait and mobility metrics using wearable devices for postoperative monitoring in common elective orthopaedic procedures of the hip, knee, and spine: a scoping review.

Background: Surgical procedures involving the hip, knee, or spine represent a majority of orthopaedic procedures performed electively in the health care system. Postoperative care is a key aspect of surgery and mobilisation without injury is the primary objective. Recent advances in wearable technologies allow objective evaluation of walking metrics to inform and guide postoperative care following orthopaedic surgery.
