Female patients exhibited longer BPPV durations and greater dizziness‐related distress compared to male patients. Recurrent BPPV was more prevalent in females, who also reported higher levels of physical distress. Additionally, patients with cupulolithiasis had significantly higher emotional and functional DHI scores than those with canalithiasis ...

ABSTRACT Objective The cervical spinal cord (cSC) is highly relevant to clinical dysfunction in multiple sclerosis (MS) but remains understudied using quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We assessed magnetization transfer ratio (MTR), a semi‐quantitative MRI measure sensitive to MS‐related tissue microstructural changes, in the cSC and its ...

From Being Moved to Being Still: Kama Muta Reduces Postural Sway Velocity
Kama muta describes the emotion of being moved or touched. This study demonstrated that kama muta can stabilize posture because a reduction in sway velocity can be observed. ABSTRACT Objectives Grounded in embodiment theory, this exploratory study examines whether kama muta (as being moved/touched) elicits measurable changes in postural sway (subtle ...
