Investigation of research quality and transparency in neurosurgery through the utilization of open science practices.

Background And Objective: Neurosurgical research is a rapidly evolving field, with numerous studies continuously published. As the body of research grows, upholding high-quality standards becomes increasingly essential. Open science practices offer tools to ensure quality and transparency.

Background: Neurosurgery is a specialty that has been dominated by males. Although there has been an increase in the number of women in the field, it is not yet close to being equal. Some noteworthy women who have carved the path for other women to follow in their footsteps include Drs.

Immediate improvements in post-stroke gait biomechanics are induced with both real-time limb position and propulsive force biofeedback.

Background: Paretic propulsion [measured as anteriorly-directed ground reaction forces (AGRF)] and trailing limb angle (TLA) show robust inter-relationships, and represent two key modifiable post-stroke gait variables that have biomechanical and clinical relevance. Our recent work demonstrated that real-time biofeedback is a feasible paradigm for modulating AGRF and TLA in able-bodied participants. However, the effects of TLA biofeedback on gait biomechanics of post-stroke individuals are poorly understood.

Timing of propulsion-related biomechanical variables is impaired in individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis.

Background: In individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis, reduced paretic leg propulsion, measured through anterior ground reaction forces (AGRF), is a common and functionally-relevant gait impairment. Deficits in other biomechanical variables such as plantarflexor moment, ankle power, and ankle excursion contribute to reduced propulsion. While reduction in the magnitude of propulsion post-stroke is well studied, here, our objective was to compare the timing of propulsion-related biomechanical variables.
