A short-cut review was carried out to establish whether a normal gait examination can rule out cerebellar stroke in patients with acute vertigo. 16 studies were relevant to the question. The author, year and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results and study weaknesses of these papers are tabulated. The clinical bottom line is that a normal gait examination cannot rule out a cerebellar stroke but the presence of an abnormal gait can be associated.

Dual-task-related gait patterns as possible marker of precocious and subclinical cognitive alterations in Parkinson disease.

Sci Rep

Subtle gait and cognitive dysfunction are common in Parkinson's disease (PD), even before most evident clinical manifestations. Such alterations can be assumed as hypothetical phenotypical and prognostic/progression markers. To compare spatiotemporal gait parameters in PD patients with three cognitive status: cognitively intact (PD-noCI), with subjective cognitive impairment (PD-SCI) and with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) in order to detect subclinical gait differences.

Healthy Longevity Translational Research Programme, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore 117456, Singapore.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation (DNAm) clocks estimate biological age according to DNA methylation. This study investigated the associations between measures of physical function and physical performance and ten DNAm clocks in the oldest-old in Singapore. The SG90 cohort included a subset of community-dwelling oldest-old from the Singapore Chinese Health Study (SCHS) and Singapore Longitudinal Ageing Study (SLAS).

Self-powered devices for human motion monitoring and energy harvesting have garnered widespread attention in recent research. In this work, we designed a honeycomb-structured triboelectric nanogenerator (H-TENG) using polyester cloth and Teflon tape, with aluminum foil as the conductive electrode. This design leverages the large surface area and flexibility of textiles, resulting in significant performance improvements.

Gait, balance, and physical performance as markers of early Alzheimer's disease and related dementia risk.

J Alzheimers Dis

January 2025

Comprehensive Center for Brain Health, Department of Neurology, Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami, Boca Raton, FL, USA.

Background: Declining physical functionality is an indicator of cognitive impairment, distinguishing normal cognition (NC) from dementia. Whether this extends to pre-dementia stages is unclear.

Objective: Assess physical performance patterns, evaluate relationships with imaging biomarkers, and identify specific measures distinguishing NC, subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Kinetics of recovery and normalization of running biomechanics following aerobic-based exercise-induced muscle damage in recreational male runners.

J Sci Med Sport

January 2025

Department of Health Promotion, School of Public Health, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Sylvan Adams Sports Institute, Tel-Aviv University, Israel. Electronic address:

Objectives: The study aimed to examine the effects of exercise-induced muscle damage on running kinetics.

Design: Twenty-six adult recreational male runners performed 60 min of downhill running (-10 %) at 65 % of maximal heart rate. Running gait changes, systemic and localized muscle damage markers were assessed pre - and post-exercise induced muscle damage protocol.
