Background: Obesity is a global health issue that complicates surgical outcomes, particularly in bariatric/metabolic surgery candidates. Assessing functional capacity is critical for optimizing preoperative planning and postoperative care. The Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) is a simple, self-administered questionnaire that estimates functional capacity based on daily activities.

Background And Purpose: Patient education on physical activity (PA) requires a clear understanding of PA intensity. However, there is no organized list of PAs intensities specific to individuals with stroke. This review aimed to clarify the intensity of PAs in people with stroke and summarize the methodologies and participant characteristics in previous investigations of energy expenditure (EE) during PAs.

Background And Aims: Loss of motor units in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is difficult to assess by conventional nerve conduction due to collateral innervation. We aimed to assess the association between a motor unit number estimate (MUNE) derived from the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) scan using MScanFit and hand function and the clinical response to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).
Methods: Forty-nine CIDP patients and 52 control subjects were included.

Introduction: Motoric cognitive risk (MCR) is a pre-dementia syndrome characterized by mobility and cognitive dysfunction. This study conducted a proteome-wide study of MCR and compared the proteomic signatures of MCR to that of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Methods: Participants were classified as MCR using a memory questionnaire and 4-meter walk.

Objective: This study aimed to determine whether interrupting prolonged sitting with brief bouts of light-intensity activity (ISIT), undertaking structured high-intensity interval training (HIIT), or the combination of both interventions would elicit greater cardiometabolic benefits.
Methods: Seventeen healthy adults (22-50 years) were recruited to undertake three 2-week interventions in a random order: i) HIIT (6 HIIT sessions + <5000 steps following the session and on the next day), ii) ISIT (2.5 min light-intensity walking every hour for 12 h/day on weekdays), and iii) HIIT+ISIT.
