ABSTRACT Background Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the huntingtin gene on chromosome 4, leading to progressive cognitive decline, motor impairment, and functional disability. Falls represent the leading cause of nursing home placement in HD.

Voice and Speech in Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders
Background Motor speech disorders are early, common, and functionally limiting features of atypical parkinsonian disorders (APDs) such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome (CBS), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). These impairments are underrecognized and undertreated in neurology clinics.

Nonlinear Vibration Characteristic Analysis of Electric Vehicle–Road Coupling System
ABSTRACT In‐wheel motor drive is the developing direction of automobile electrification and intelligence. However, the increased unsprung mass in in‐wheel motor‐driven electric vehicles (IWMEVs) leads to higher dynamic tire loads, thereby intensifying vehicle–road coupling interactions. To address this problem, an 11‐degree‐of‐freedom nonlinear dynamic
