Purpose: To report a case with epiretinal membrane (ERM) treated with audio-luminous Biofeedback training (BT) which resulted in improvement of monocular and binocular visual functions.
Observations: We report a case of ERM with distance Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) of 20/40 in the right dominant eye, and 20/20 in the left eye. The main symptom was binocular blurry vision, and the patient did not desire to pursue posterior vitrectomy due to its risks. Using a 10-2 microperimetry test with the MAIA Microperimeter, it was possible to identify an inferior paracentral relative scotoma in the right eye with splitting fixation. The right eye was trained with five 20-minute sessions with Biofeedback training towards a trained retinal locus (TRL) with better retinal sensitivity and 1.46° superior and temporal to the current preferred retinal locus (PRL). After training, the patient reported total improvement of symptoms, and BCVA was 20/25 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye.
Conclusions And Importance: Biofeedback training is a valuable treatment with no known adverse effects that can be performed as an alternative to patients with ERM with no surgical indication and debilitating symptoms, or as a post-surgery adjuvant treatment.

Force drifts and matching errors in the lower extremities: implications for the control and perception of foot force.
Exp Brain Res

Department of Kinesiology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, 16802, USA.
Accurate control of force on the environment is mechanically necessary for many tasks involving the lower extremities. We investigated drifts in the horizontal (shear) active force produced by right-footed seated subjects and the effects of force matching by the other foot. Subjects generated constant shear force at 15% and 30% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) using one foot.

Objective: The care of patients with dysphonia will change due to the growing shortage of specialists, demographic change, and digitalization. To counteract the associated problems in patient care, the LAOLA app demonstrator is to be developed. In the future, patients will receive exercise videos for their training from their treating speech and language pathologist (SLP) via LAOLA.

Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken)
December 2024
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, CO.
Objective: Habitual movement compensations, such as decreased surgical peak knee extension moments (pKEM), persist years after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), are linked to poorer recovery, and may influence contralateral osteoarthritis (OA) progression. The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to determine if a movement training program (MOVE) improves movement quality and recovery after TKA compared to a standardized rehabilitation program without movement training (CONTROL).
Methods: One hundred thirty-eight individuals were randomized to either MOVE or CONTROL groups after TKA.

Department of Psychiatry of Women and Children, The Second People's Hospital of Guizhou Province, Guiyang, Guizhou, China.
Objective: This study aimed to synthesize and encapsulate findings from recent research (May 1, 2018 to August 1, 2023) on neurofeedback interventions for children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across major databases and platforms, including randomized controlled trials s focusing on children aged 5-11 years with ADHD. The inclusion was broad, not restricted by ADHD subtype, gender, IQ, socioeconomic status, or coexisting conditions.
The Influence of Strength and Skill Parameters on the Evolution of Dysphagia Post Stroke: A Prospective Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) evolve in stroke patients by examining the relationship between muscle strength and swallowing outcomes over six months.
- Researchers tracked various data points, including diet level and swallowing quality, through multiple assessments after participants suffered their first stroke.
- Findings revealed that while muscle strength improved in the first month, swallowing precision was critical for overall quality of life and function at six months, suggesting a need for early diagnosis in at-risk patients.
