Article Synopsis
- Cerebral Palsy (CP) significantly affects children's ability to walk, and using robotic assistive devices like the Moonwalker exoskeleton can improve mobility and quality of life.
- A study involving 22 children with severe gait impairments showed that after 20 training sessions and five months of home use, many exhibited improved walking endurance and engaging arm movements.
- The Moonwalker was found to be beneficial in facilitating home-based walking activities, enhancing social interactions and overall development, while also receiving positive feedback from families.
Lasting Deficiencies in Vergence Eye Movements in Patients with Peripheral or Central Vertigo: Improvements After Four Sessions of REMOBI Neurotraining and Associated Functional Benefits.

The vestibular function is in synergism with the oculomotor vergence. Vertigo may be related to vergence disorders and conversely, vestibular pathologies may affect vergence. To consolidate this hypothesis, we conducted a study at the vestibular orthoptic clinic of the Bastogne Hospital.

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) is becoming a promising neuromodulation technique to promote motor recovery in various neurological conditions, including stroke. As this intervention moves forward into clinical practice, it is important to understand how the elicited neurophysiological measures are related to the functional and neuromuscular deficits of the population of interest in order to personalize tSCS interventions and assess its effectiveness. Specifically, neurophysiological measurements of spinal cord excitability can be achieved by recording with EMG spinal motor evoked responses (sMERs) in muscles after applying single pulses of tSCS to the spinal cord.

School of Health Sciences, University of Newcastle, Newcastle, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- People who have had a stroke are significantly more likely to experience another stroke compared to those who haven't, making it vital to address lifestyle factors like inactivity and poor diet to lower blood pressure and stroke risk.
- Survivors often face barriers to accessing risk reduction services, such as long wait times and limited transportation, highlighting the need for more accessible solutions, like an online health intervention platform.
- The i-REBOUND after stroke website was developed using a collaborative approach and design thinking framework, focusing on creating an easy-to-navigate resource tailored to stroke survivors, by adapting existing telehealth programs for better accessibility and support.
