Background/hypothesis: Motion sensitivity symptoms, such as dizziness or unsteadiness, are frequently reported as non-headache symptoms of migraine. Postural imbalance has been observed in subjects with vestibular migraine, chronic migraine, and aura. We aimed to assess the ability of largest Lyapunov's exponent for a short time series (sLLE), which reflects the ability to cope with internal perturbations during gait, to detect differences in local dynamic stability between individuals with migraine without aura (MO) with an episodic pattern between attacks and healthy subjects (HS).

Background: Occupational therapy (OT) is an essential component of patient care, and it is especially beneficial if focused on meaningful activities. For ataxic patients, traditional procedures are currently the most efficient, although without specific guidelines and suggestions for virtual reality integration. In this context, this study proposes Hybrid Smart Rehabilitation (HSR) based on mixed reality (MR) as an aid in overcoming limitations of the traditional OT procedures.

: Stroke-induced immunosuppression (SII) represents a negative rehabilitative prognostic factor associated with poor motor performance at discharge from a neurorehabilitation unit (NRB). This study aims to evaluate the association between SII and gait impairment at NRB admission. : Forty-six stroke patients (65.

Article Synopsis
  • Gait analysis studies in patients with primary hereditary cerebellar ataxia (pwCA) face challenges due to small sample sizes and unbalanced datasets.
  • The study aimed to evaluate how data balancing techniques and generative AI can create synthetic datasets that accurately reflect gait abnormalities in pwCA.
  • Using methods like conditional tabular generative adversarial networks (ctGAN), researchers found that ctGAN improved classification performance and provided better explainability for diagnostic models compared to traditional methods.
