Efficacy of Hand Gestures and the Hand as Foot Teaching Method Compared to Traditional Methods in Medical and Dental Education: A Scoping Review

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The “Hand‐as‐Foot” teaching method is an innovative, hands‐on approach that uses gesture‐based movements to represent anatomical structures and functions. It has been used successfully in medical education to help simplify and communicate complex ideas. However, its use in dental education remains relatively unexplored.

Enriched Environment Enhances Motor Function in Mice With Cerebral Infarction by Promoting mTOR‐Dependent Autophagy in the Contralateral Dentate Nucleus

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although environmental enrichment (EE) promotes post‐stroke motor recovery, the mechanisms underlying its regulation of cerebellar dentate nucleus (DN) plasticity remain unclear; this study therefore investigated how EE coordinates autophagy, mitochondrial homeostasis, and synaptic remodeling in the contralateral DN to facilitate functional ...

The Walking Brain: factors influencing human gait [PDF]

, 2018
Human walking is a standardized, repeatable and rhythmic locomotor act, with biomechanical patterns reported as roughly common to all healthy individuals. However, some gait patterns could be affected by cognitive, social and cultural factors.

Considerations for Initiation and Maintenance of Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa for Advanced Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background As Parkinson's disease (PD) progresses, motor fluctuations become increasingly difficult to manage with oral medications. Foslevodopa/foscarbidopa (LDp/CDp), delivered as a continuous 24‐h/day subcutaneous infusion, offers continuous levodopa delivery and stable plasma levodopa levels that reduce motor fluctuations. LDp/CDp has been

Visual search in spatial neglect studied with a preview paradigm

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
Impaired visual search is a hallmark of spatial neglect. When searching for a unique feature (e.g., colour) neglect patients often show only slight visual field asymmetries.

Longitudinal Videofluorographic Dysphagia Measures in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dysphagia can lead to fatal aspiration pneumonia in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Little is known about the longitudinal progression of dysphagia or whether it differs across PSP clinical variants. Objectives To characterize longitudinal changes in dysphagia across PSP variants and determine relationships with disease ...

Gait Adaptability Training Improves Gait in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Patients

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a rare, genetic neurodegenerative movement disorder primarily affecting the cerebellum. So far, there is no available cure for SCA. However, evidence suggests that neurorehabilitation can alleviate symptoms.
