Improving sensory integration in Chinese children with moderate sensory integration challenges through engaging basketball training.
Front Psychol
January 2025
College for Health, Community, and Policy, The University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, United States.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining basketball training with a traditional sensory integration therapy (SIT) vs. a SIT alone in enhancing sensory integration capability among Chinese children diagnosed with mild challenges in sensory integration and sensory processing (CSISP).
Methods: This study comprised a Control group and an Experimental group, both undergoing a 10-week intervention (4 sessions/week, 45 min/session).
Stair-descent phenotypes in community-dwelling older adults determined using high-level balance tasks.
Aging Clin Exp Res
January 2025
Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Kansai Medical University, Osaka, Japan.
Background: Falls on stairs are a major cause of severe injuries among older adults, with stair descent posing significantly greater risks than ascent. Variations in stair descent phenotypes may reflect differences in physical function and biomechanical stability, and their identification may prevent falls.
Aims: This study aims to classify stair descent phenotypes in older adults and investigate the biomechanical and physical functional differences between these phenotypes using hierarchical cluster analysis.
Dynamic Video Assessment of Axial Postural Abnormalities in Parkinson's Disease: A Pilot Study.
Mov Disord Clin Pract
January 2025
Department of Computer Science, University of Verona, Verona, Italy.
Background: Axial postural abnormalities (APAs) are frequent and disabling axial symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Image-based measurement is considered the gold standard but may not accurately detect the true severity of APAs because these symptoms can appear or get worse under dynamic conditions.
Objective: The aim was to evaluate quantitative changes in APAs degree during prolonged standing and walking in both single- and dual-task conditions (motor + cognitive).
Determining safety, usability, acceptability and potential for clinical use of an innovative walking frame design with in- and community patients.
Disabil Rehabil Assist Technol
January 2025
Centre for Human Movement and Rehabilitation, School of Health & Society, University of Salford, Salford, Greater Manchester, UK.
Purpose: Falls cost the NHS over £2 billion a year, with incidence increasing rapidly with age. Design of indoor walking frames remains limited, often needing to be lifted and not supporting sit-to-stand and turning manoeuvres, which can lead to falling. This study explored aspects of safety and satisfaction and potential for clinical use of a novel prototype walking frame.

The aim was to study the effect of time of day (morning, afternoon, evening and night) on university students' postures when using their smartphones over the weekend and their link with MSD risk.
