Occupational musculoskeletal disorders of the upper extremity have been termed cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) and are considered to result from repetitive job function. Determination of work-relatedness of CTDs has far-reaching consequences. The physician equipped with objective, scientific knowledge is less likely to encourage disability or stress the workers' compensation system.

Department of Neurological Surgery, Chiba University Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba, Chiba, Japan.
Ganglioglioma, a glioneuronal neoplasm, typically presents in adolescents' temporal lobes. While pediatric brainstem gangliogliomas (BSGGs) are well documented, adult BSGGs are limited, resulting in a lack of comprehensive understanding of their pathophysiology and prognosis. A 41-year-old woman who presented with dizziness and numbness in her right upper extremity and right face underwent radiological examination.

Health Sciences Department, Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil.
Objective: This study aimed to assess reachable workspace (RWS) in patients post-osteosynthesis of shoulder, elbow, or wrist fractures and explore correlations with self-reported function and kinesiophobia.
Design: An observational case-control study compared patients with fractures to a control group, utilizing questionnaires and 3D kinematic data.
Participants: The sample included 66 individuals who had undergone osteosynthesis: 21 with shoulder fractures, 10 with elbow fractures, and 22 with wrist fractures.

Department of Neurology, Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center, Manila, PHL.
Bilateral scapular winging is a rare and atypical manifestation of Arnold-Chiari malformation type 1 (ACM1). We report a case of ACM with extensive syrinx formation, presenting with progressive bilateral proximal upper extremity weakness, bilateral scapular winging, and segmental hypesthesia and reduced thermesthesia over the bilateral C2-C8 dermatomal levels. The patient was successfully treated with surgical decompression and syringosubarachnoid shunting.

Background: Intensive rehabilitation through challenging and individualized tasks are recommended to enhance upper limb recovery after stroke. Robot-assisted therapy (RAT) and serious games could be used to enhance functional recovery by providing simultaneous motor and cognitive rehabilitation.
Objective: The aim of this study is to clinically validate the dynamic difficulty adjustment (DDA) mechanism of ROBiGAME, a robot serious game designed for simultaneous rehabilitation of motor impairments and hemispatial neglect.
