Objective: Applications of brain-computer interfacing (BCI) in neurorehabilitation have received increasing attention. The intention to perform a motor task can be detected from scalp EEG and used to control rehabilitation devices, resulting in a patient-driven rehabilitation paradigm. In this study, we present and validate a BCI system for detection of gait initiation using movement related cortical potentials (MRCP).
Methods: The templates of MRCP were extracted from 9-channel scalp EEG during gait initiation in 9 healthy subjects. Independent component analysis (ICA) was used to remove artifacts, and the Laplacian spatial filter was applied to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of MRCP. Following these pre-processing steps, a matched filter was used to perform single-trial detection of gait initiation.
Results: ICA preprocessing was shown to significantly improve the detection performance. With ICA preprocessing, across all subjects, the true positive rate (TPR) of the detection was 76.9±8.97%, and the false positive rate was 2.93±1.09 per minute.
Conclusion: The results demonstrate the feasibility of detecting the intention of gait initiation from EEG signals, on a single trial basis.
Significance: The results are important for the development of new gait rehabilitation strategies, either for recovery/replacement of function or for neuromodulation.

Introduction: Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that presents with motor symptoms such as tremors, slowness and gait difficulties, in addition to various non-motor symptoms such as anxiety, depression and autonomic and sleep disturbances. Pranayama (yogic breathing practices) has been studied as a part of yoga interventions in Parkinson's disease. Previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses have not detailed the pranayama practices used in clinical studies, and there is no clarity on the pranayama practices that would be most beneficial for Parkinson's disease.

Background: Heterotopic ossification is a common complication after joint replacement surgery, such as hip or knee arthroplasty. In the intensive care unit, it is most commonly associated with traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury. To prevent recurrence, surgical resection of heterotopic ossification is recommended once the ectopic bone has fully matured, which is estimated to occur after at least 12 months.

Background/objectives: Oral frailty, first identified in Japan in 2014, refers to a state between healthy oral function and severe decline, marked by minor issues, such as tooth loss and chewing difficulties. The oral frailty five-item checklist (OF-5) enables non-dental professionals to evaluate oral frailty using five key indicators: remaining teeth count, chewing difficulties, swallowing difficulties, dry mouth, and articulatory oral skills. Limited studies exist.

This paper is dedicated to the analysis of a foot prosthesis optimization process, with a particular focus on the application of optimization algorithms and unconventional materials, such as auxetic materials. The study aims to enhance prosthesis performance by minimizing the difference between the ground reaction force generated by the prosthetic foot and that of a natural limb. In the initial part of the study, the basic topics concerning the parameterization of the foot prosthesis geometry and the preparation of a finite element model for human gait are discussed.
