The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is a widely used tool for assessing the risk of falls in older adults. However, to increase the test's predictive value, the instrumented Timed Up and Go (iTUG) test has been developed, incorporating different technological approaches. This systematic review aims to explore the evidence of the technological proposal for the segmentation and analysis of iTUG in elderlies with or without pathologies. A search was conducted in five major databases, following PRISMA guidelines. The review included 40 studies that met the eligibility criteria. The most used technology was inertial sensors (75% of the studies), with healthy elderlies (35%) and elderlies with Parkinson's disease (32.5%) being the most analyzed participants. In total, 97.5% of the studies applied automatic segmentation using rule-based algorithms. The iTUG test offers an economical and accessible alternative to increase the predictive value of TUG, identifying different variables, and can be used in clinical, community, and home settings.

The Clinical Significance of Using PASS Thresholds When Administering Patient-Reported Outcome Instruments After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
University of Kentucky, Department of Athletic Training and Clinical Nutrition, Lexington, Kentucky, USA.
Background: Patient-reported outcome (PROs) instruments of knee function quality of life are routinely administered to patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), an evidence-based threshold defining perceived outcomes, may be a useful indicator of strength and functional performance.
Purpose: To compare strength and functional performance between patients recovering from ACLR who did and did not meet PASS thresholds on associated PROs.
Cerebral Amyloid-β Deposition, Axial Features, and Cognitive Alterations in Patients with Parkinson's Disease Treated with Bilateral STN-DBS: A Long-Term Cohort Study.

Neurology Unit, Neuromotor & Rehabilitation Department, Azienda USL-IRCCS di Reggio Emilia, 42123 Reggio Emilia, Italy.
Our aim was to evaluate the possible long-term cerebral deposition of amyloid-β in patients with PD treated with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) and its possible influence on axial and cognitive variables. Consecutive PD patients treated with bilateral STN-DBS with a long-term follow-up were included. The amyloid-β deposition was evaluated postoperatively through an 18F-flutemetamol positron emission tomography (PET) study.

Objectives: To investigate fall risk among older adults with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (BHL) by comparing single task (ST) and dual task (DT) performance on the instrumented "Timed Up & Go" test (iTUG). The TUG is a well-validated clinical tool for fall risk; addition of wireless sensors increases the test's sensitivity and allows for subcomponent analysis.
Methods: Adults with audiometrically confirmed normal hearing or BHL were prospectively recruited and screened for visual, musculoskeletal, neurologic, or vestibular pathology and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) < 10.

Electronic address:
Background Context: There has been no recent updated comprehensive review of measurement properties focused on the 5-repetition sit-to-stand test (5R-STS) in patients with lumbar degenerative disorders (LDD) that could aid in better understanding of its clinical and research applicability.
Purpose: The aim of this systematic review was to summarize evidence on measurement properties of the 5R-STS in patients with LDD according to COnsensus Based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidelines.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
All-Optical Ultrafast Arbitrary Rotation of Hole Orbital Qubits with Direct Phase Control.
Phys Rev Lett
November 2024
State Key Laboratory of Extreme Photonics and Instrumentation, College of Information Science and Electronic Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on achieving precise control of a quantum bit (qubit) within quantum dots, an important aspect for advancing photonic quantum information technologies.
- Researchers have successfully demonstrated the ability to perform arbitrary rotations on a hole orbital qubit using short optical pulses, allowing for direct phase control.
- This method utilizes a process called stimulated Raman transitions, enabling fine-tuned control over the angles of the Bloch vector, making orbital states in solid-state quantum emitters useful for fast quantum information processing.
