Multiple sclerosis clinical decision support system based on projection to reference datasets
Abstract Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a multifactorial disease with increasingly complicated management. Our objective is to use on‐demand computational power to address the challenges of dynamically managing MS. Methods A phase 3 clinical trial data (NCT00906399) were used to contextualize the medication efficacy of peg‐interferon beta‐1a vs ...

Postural balance asymmetry and subsequent noncontact lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries among Tunisian soccer players with groin pain: A prospective case control study [PDF]
Background: Recent studies reported postural balance disorders in patients and soccer players with groin pain (GP) compared to controls. Since postural balance asymmetry identified after an initial injury contributes for subsequent injuries, identification of this asymmetry in soccer players with GP may highlight the risk of sustaining subsequent ...

Body Sway Characteristics During Static Upright Position Following Systematic Balance Training in Older Adults [PDF]
Introduction: Postural stability is important to control the bodys position in space and for daily life activities, as increased postural sway increases the risk of falls, and is related to injuries and morbidity in older adults.Objective: The aim of the

StartReact effects support different pathophysiological mechanisms underlying freezing of gait and postural instability in Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
The pathophysiology underlying postural instability in Parkinson's disease is poorly understood. The frequent co-existence with freezing of gait raises the possibility of shared pathophysiology.

Static Rest Frame to Improve Postural Stability in Virtual and Augmented Reality
Many users have shown increased postural instability while using Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) as HMDs block their real-world vision. People with balance impairments are especially more affected by this as they depend more on their visual cues to maintain

Evaluation of Postural Muscle Synergies during a Complex Motor Task in a Virtual Reality Environment [PDF]
In this study, we investigate how the central nervous system (CNS) organizes postural control synergies when individuals perform a complex catch-and-throw task in a virtual reality (VR) environment. A Robotic Upright Stand Trainer (RobUST) platform, including surface electromyography and kinematics, was used to investigate how the CNS fine-tunes ...

A cohort study on longitudinal changes in postural balance during the first year after stroke
Introduction Many patients with strokes report increased incidence of fall that can be due to impaired postural balance. The recovery of balance in patients with varying degrees of impairments and activity limitations is less studied, and whether ...
