Spatial hearing relies on the encoding of perceptual sound location cues in space. It is critical for communicating in background noise, and understanding where sounds are coming from (sound localization). Although there are some monoaural spatial hearing cues (i.

- This study explores the outcomes and management of pediatric auditory brainstem implantation (ABI) for children with severe inner ear malformations, aiming to unify clinical practices and address current challenges.
- A systematic review of relevant findings from the Third International Pediatric ABI Symposium analyzed data from multiple countries, highlighting trends in auditory outcomes, surgical approaches, and rehabilitation strategies.
- Key conclusions emphasize the need for standardized guidelines and improved collaboration among healthcare professionals to enhance patient outcomes and guide future research in this specialized field.
Objectives: Vestibular rehabilitation is a recommended treatment after sport related concussion (SRC), but the optimal timing is not fully understood. This research examined the association between the timing of vestibular rehabilitation initiation and recovery time in adolescent patients with SRC.
Design: Retrospective cross-sectional.
Background: Robotic exoskeletons have changed rehabilitation care available to people after spinal cord injury (SCI). Yet, the current evidence base is insufficient to identify the optimal dose and neurophysiological mechanism of robotic exoskeleton gait training (RGT) as an effective rehabilitation approach. This study will (1) examine whether the frequency of RGT after motor incomplete SCI impacts function and health outcomes, (2) analyze the neuroplastic effects of RGT dose, and (3) evaluate the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of delivering RGT.

People in the subacute phase after stroke who are unable to walk are most likely to benefit the greatest from use of overground robotic gait training (RGT). This study will provide preliminary evidence regarding the clinical use and efficacy of RGT during the subacute phase of stroke recovery as well as observational findings associated with the safety, tolerability, feasibility, and cost of delivering RGT during inpatient stroke rehabilitation.
