The Importance of Frailty in Older Adults With Benign Paroxysmal Positioning Vertigo.
J Neurol Phys Ther
November 2024

Background And Purpose: Even though Benign Paroxysmal Positioning Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most reported vestibular disorders, its interaction with frailty and postural control in older adults is hardly or not investigated.
Methods: Thirty-seven older adults (≥65 years) with a diagnosis of BPPV (oaBPPV) (mean age 73.13 (4.

Article Synopsis
- The study assesses 24 patients with Nemaline myopathy type 6 (NEM6) in the Netherlands, focusing on detailed clinical characteristics and symptom reporting.
- Key findings include reported symptoms of muscle weakness, slow movements, and difficulties with running, along with significantly reduced health-related quality of life and increased fatigue.
- The research also highlights issues with balance and falls, as well as a slower muscle relaxation rate compared to normal standards.
Relationship Between Executive Function Subdomains and Postural Balance in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.

Escuela de Kinesiología, Facultad de Odontología y Ciencias de la Rehabilitación, Universidad San Sebastián, Concepción, Chile.
Background: Executive function (EF) deficits are a significant risk factor for falls among older adults (OAs). However, relationship between EF subdomains (shifting, updating, and inhibition), postural balance (PB), and fall risk in healthy OAs, remains poorly understood.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between EF subdomains (shifting, updating, and inhibition) and PB, and to assess their impact on risk of falls in community-dwelling OAs.
Analysis of the characteristics of anticipatory postural adjustments in older adults using smartphones: Association between cognitive and balance functions.
Gait Posture

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Tokyo Medical and Dental University Graduate School, 1-5-45 Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan; Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Dokkyo Medical University Saitama Medical Center, 2-1-50 Minamikoshigaya, Koshigaya, Saitama 343-8555, Japan.
Objectives: Using smartphones, we aimed to clarify the characteristics of anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) in older adults and examine the relationship between cognitive and balance functions.
Methods: The study participants were 10 young and 13 older adults. An accelerometer built into a smartphone was attached to the lower back (L5) of the participant, and acceleration in the mediolateral direction was measured using a one-leg stance (OLS).
Outcome, predictors and longitudinal trajectories of subjects with critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy (CINAMOPS): study protocol of an observational cohort study in a clinical and post-clinical setting.

Department of Neurology, Schoen Clinic Bad Aibling Harthausen, Bad Aibling, Germany.
Introduction: Critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy (CIP/CIM) are frequent complications in the intensive care unit (ICU) with major consequences for the progress and outcome of subjects. CIP/CIM delays the weaning process, prolongs the hospital stay and increases the mortality rate. Additionally, it may have long-term consequences beyond the hospitalisation phase with prolonged disability.
