Real-time gait estimation is important for the synchrony control of robotic exoskeleton to provide walking assistance. However, for stroke patients with hemiplegic paralysis, the gait pattern is very complex. Accurate and timely gait intention recognition is therefore difficult.

Background: The clinical application of 10 Hz repetitive transcranil magnetic stimulation (rTMS) remains limited despite its demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing cortical excitability and improving cognitive function. The present study used a novel stimulus target [left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex + primary motor cortex] to facilitate the enhancement of cognitive function through the bidirectional promotion of cognitive and motor functions; Methods: Post-stroke cognitive impairment patients ( = 48) were randomly assigned to receive either dual-target, single-target, or sham rTMS for 4 weeks. Before and after 4 weeks of treatment, participants were asked to complete the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test, the Modified Barthel Index (MBI), the Trail-making Test (TMT), and the Digital Span Test (DST).

Background: Untargeted metabolomics can be used to expand our understanding of the pathogenesis of sarcopenia. However, the metabolic signatures of sarcopenia patients have not been thoroughly investigated. Herein, we explored metabolites associated with sarcopenia by untargeted gas chromatography (GC)/liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS) and identified possible diagnostic markers.

Purpose: For early diagnosis of osteoporosis (OP), plasma metabolomics of OP was studied by untargeted LC/GC-MS in a Chinese elderly population to find possible diagnostic biomarkers.

Methods: A total of 379 Chinese community-dwelling older adults aged ≥65 years were recruited for this study. The BMD of the calcaneus was measured using quantitative ultrasound (QUS), and a T value ≤-2.

In recent years, the stroke incidence has been increasing year by year, and the related sequelae after stroke, such as cognitive impairment, motor dysfunction, and post-stroke depression, seriously affect the patient's rehabilitation and daily activities. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), as a safe, non-invasive, and effective new rehabilitation method, has been widely recognized in clinical practice. This article reviews the application and research progress of rTMS in treating different functional impairments (cognitive impairment, motor dysfunction, unilateral spatial neglect, depression) after stroke in recent years, and preliminary summarized the possible mechanisms.

The purpose of this study was to employ metabolomics for the analysis of urine metabolites in swimmers, with the aim of establishing models for assessing their athletic status and competitive potential. Furthermore, the study sought to compare the identification efficacy of multi-component (urine and blood) model versus single-component (urine or blood) models, in order to determine the optimal approach for evaluating training and competitive status. A total of 187 Chinese professional swimmers, comprising 103 elite and 84 sub-elite level athletes, were selected as subjects for this study.

Objective: This study explores the gender differences in the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and the correlation between multiple influencing factors.

Materials And Methods: The sample was comprised of 1325 relatively healthy participants aged ≥ 60 years in a Shanghai community-dwelling (557 males and 768 females). Cognitive function was assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).

Background: This study examined the effects of poor physical capacity and high body fat percentage (BF%) on the incidence of hypertension in Chinese suburb-dwelling older adults.

Methods: This study was conducted on 368 Chinese suburb-dwelling participants aged ≥ 60 years without hypertension (mean age: 66.74 ± 5.

Background: Few longitudinal studies have explored exploring the relationship between sleep duration and sarcopenia. Evidence concerning the relationship between sleep duration and sarcopenia is limited and inconsistent. The purpose of this 3-year prospective study was to explore whether sleep duration was associated with sarcopenia onset in suburb-dwelling older Chinese individuals.
