In post-stroke persons, temporal gait asymmetry (TGA) during comfortable gait involves a combination of pure impairments and compensatory strategies. In this study, we aimed to differentiate between pure impairments and compensatory strategies underlying TGA in post-stroke individuals and identify associated clinical factors. We examined 39 post-stroke individuals who participated in comfortable walking speed (CWS) and rhythmic auditory cueing (RAC).

Efforts to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in healthcare have increased, targeting healthcare worker biases with the goal of increasing inclusion of employees from racial and ethnic minoritized groups and improving care for patients from these groups. Virtual reality (VR) remains an underutilized mechanism for effecting behavior and attitude change. VR educational interventions work through two primary pathways, behavior rehearsal and embodiment.

Background: Postural instability is considered a late complication of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, growing evidence shows that balance and gait problems may occur early in the disease.
Objective: To describe balance, gait, and falls/near falls in persons with newly diagnosed, untreated PD ("de novo"), and to compare this with persons with mild-moderate PD (Later PD).

Article Synopsis
- Body weight support (BWS) technologies assist individuals with neurological gait impairments during training, but different BWS levels may affect movement patterns.
- The study examined how various dynamically modulated BWS levels during overground walking impact gait quality, kinematic patterns, and self-reported comfort in adults with gait issues.
- Results showed that while overall gait quality remained stable with moderate BWS levels (10-30%), higher levels (>40%) negatively affected speed and comfort, suggesting optimal training levels for improving gait dynamics.
Are clinical tests and biomechanical measures of gait stability able to differentiate fallers from non-fallers in hereditary spastic paraplegia?

Introduction: Balance and gait impairments are common in people with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) and often result in falls. Measures that identify patients at risk of falling are clinically relevant, but relatively unexplored in HSP. Here, we evaluated the potential of different balance and gait constructs to (1) identify differences between healthy controls and people with HSP and (2) discriminate between fallers and non-fallers with HSP.
