Objective: We attempted to investigate postural instability in patients with injury of the corticoreticular pathway (CRP) after mild traumatic brain injury.
Methods: The CRP was reconstructed, and the fractional anisotropy value, apparent diffusion coefficient value, and fiber volume of the CRP were measured. For evaluation of postural instability, both the Balance Error Scoring System score and the displacement of center of pressure were measured.
Result: Significantly lower tract volume of the CRP was observed in the patient group than in the control group with no significant difference in fractional anisotropy and apparent diffusion coefficient values(P > 0.05). The results of the Balance Error Scoring System shown on a firm and foam surface were significantly higher in the patient group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Significant increments in displacement of center of pressure for 3 stances of double-leg, single-leg, and tandem stances in distance, maximum distance, and path length were observed in the patient group compared with the control group (P < 0.05). By contrast, no significant difference in the double stance on the x axis of the distance was observed between the patient and control groups (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: We demonstrated postural instability in patients with injury of the CRP following mild traumatic brain injury.

Background: The use of inertial measurement units (IMUs) in assessing fall risk is often limited by subject discomfort and challenges in data interpretation. Additionally, there is a scarcity of research on attitude estimation features. To address these issues, we explored novel features and representation methods in the context of sit-to-stand transitions.

Due to the variety of clinical phenotypes and the massive clinical overlap with other neurodegenerative diseases, the diagnosis of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) remains a major challenge. Notwithstanding, early and reliable clinical diagnosis of PSP is highly warranted for estimation of prognosis, appropriate allocation to therapeutic trials and development of new diagnostic tools. As reliable biomarkers are lacking, PSP diagnosis relies on the application of the clinical criteria promoted by the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS).

Purpose: Previous studies have demonstrated significant biomechanical differences between individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and healthy controls during the Y-balance test. This study aimed to examine the effects of kinesio taping (KT) on lower limb biomechanical characteristics during the Y-balance anterior reach task in individuals with CAI.
Methods: A total of 30 participants were recruited, comprising 15 individuals with CAI and 15 healthy controls.

Objective: The purpose of this review was to evaluate the effectiveness of dry needling (DN) to improve function, proprioception, and balance and to reduce pain in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI).
Methods: We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for this review. We searched PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and ProQuest databases from inception until July 2022 using the PICO (population, intervention, comparison, outcome) method.

This study investigates whether incorporating olfactory dysfunction into motor subtypes of Parkinson's disease (PD) improves associations with clinical outcomes. PD is commonly divided into motor subtypes, such as postural instability and gait disturbance (PIGD) and tremor-dominant PD (TDPD), but non-motor symptoms like olfactory dysfunction remain underexplored. We assessed 157 participants with PD using the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), Movement Disorder Society-Sponsored Revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (M-UPDRS), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire Summary Index (PDQ-39 SI), and 99mTc-TRODAT-1 imaging.
