Detecting gait abnormalities is crucial for assessing fall risks and early identification of neuromusculoskeletal disorders such as Parkinson's and stroke. Traditional assessments in gait clinics are infrequent and pose barriers, particularly for disadvantaged populations. Previous efforts have explored sensor-based approaches for in-home gait assessments, yet they face limitations such as visual obstructions (cameras), limited coverage (pressure mats), and the need for device carrying (wearables and insoles).

Stroke is a serious and frequent cerebrovascular disease with an enormous socioeconomic burden worldwide. Stroke prevention includes treatment of carotid atherosclerosis, the most common underlying cause of stroke, according to a specific diagnostic algorithm. However, this diagnostic algorithm has proved insufficient for a large number of mostly asymptomatic subjects, which poses a significant research challenge of identifying novel personalized risk markers for the disease.

Background: An evidence-based approach to the management of shoulder pain after stroke is required, but systematic reviews have highlighted the small number of studies suitable for use in developing clinical guidelines.
Design: This brief overview summarises obstacles to shoulder pain research that systematic reviews have identified, and compares their therapeutic recommendations to the Royal College of Physicians National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke.
Conclusion: Clinicians treating shoulder pain after stroke can refer to guidelines and systematic reviews, but there are differences in their conclusions regarding the use of steroid injections and electrical stimulation.
