Analysis of Gait Motion Changes by Intervention Using Robot Suit Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) in Myelopathy Patients After Decompression Surgery for Ossification of Posterior Longitudinal Ligament

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2021
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a hyperostonic condition in which the posterior longitudinal ligament becomes thick and loses its flexibility, resulting in ectopic ossification and severe neurologic deficit (Matsunaga and ...

Neurological disorders of gait, balance and posture: a sign-based approach [PDF]

Nature Reviews Neurology, 2018
Neurological disorders of gait, balance and posture are both debilitating and common. Adequate recognition of these so-called disorders of axial mobility is important as they can offer useful clues to the underlying pathology in patients with an uncertain clinical diagnosis, such as those early in the course of neurological disorders.

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
