Introduction: Rhythmic beta activity in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) local field potential (LFP) is associated with Parkinson disease (PD) severity, though not all studies have found this relationship. We investigated whether aperiodic 'noise' elements of LFP, specifically slope of the 1/f broadband, predict PD motor symptoms and outcomes of STN-DBS.
Methods: We studied micro-LFP from 19 PD patients undergoing STN-DBS, relating the aperiodic 1/f slope and the periodic beta oscillation components to motor severity using the UPDRS-III and improvement with DBS at 1 year.
Results: Beta power, not 1/f slope, independently predicted baseline UPDRS-III (r = 0.425, p = 0.020; r = -0.434, p = 0.032, respectively), but multiple regression using both predicted better (F (2, 16) = 6.621, p = 0.008, R = 0.453). Only multiple regression using both slope and beta power predicted improvement in UPDRS-III at 1 year post-operatively (F (2, 15) = 6.049, R = 0.446, p = 0.012).
Conclusions: Both beta synchronization and slope of the 1/f broadband are informative of motor symptoms in PD and predict response to STN-DBS.

Alterations of upper-extremity functional muscle networks in chronic stroke survivors.

Current clinical assessment tools don't fully capture the genuine neural deficits experienced by chronic stroke survivors and, consequently, they don't fully explain motor function throughout everyday life. Towards addressing this problem, here we aimed to characterise post-stroke alterations in upper-limb control from a novel perspective to the muscle synergy by applying, for the first time, a computational approach that quantifies diverse types of functional muscle interactions (i.e.

Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication with restricted and repetitive behavior. Postural and motor disturbances occur more often in ASD, in comparison to typically developing subjects, affecting the quality of life. Linear and non-linear indexes derived from the trajectory of the center of pressure (COP) while subjects stand on force platforms are commonly used to assess postural stability.

Background: Although the primary impairment involved in Cerebral palsy (CP) is motor function, malnutrition is also common. However, there is a lack of tool recommendations for early malnutrition risk screening in children with CP, and the means of nutritional intervention for children with CP are also limited.
Methods: This study systematically searched the literature about clinical nutrition related content of cerebral palsy in Pubmed, MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library in Jan 2024 and by hand searching, and we checked reference lists and citations to identify additional studies.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) usually causes severe motor, sensory and autonomic dysfunction. In addition to direct surgical repair, rehabilitation exercises, and traditional physical stimuli, for example, electrical stimulation, have been applied in promoting the clinical recovery of PNI for a long time but showed low efficiency. Recently, significant progress has been made in new physical modulation to promote peripheral nerve regeneration.

The restoration of nerve function after the injury might be complicated by the development of a disorganized fibrous mass-a neuroma. This results in sensory and/or motor deficits and pain that can be severely debilitating. Surgical excision of the painful neuroma may leave a gap, which can be bridged using autografts or allografts.
