Rate and Shape of Functional Decline in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Identify Clinically Distinct Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Phenotypes

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The ALS Functional Rating Scale–Revised decline rate compresses trajectory shape into a single number, potentially missing distinct phenotypes. We tested whether shape identifies phenotypes that rate does not distinguish, and whether post‐hoc analysis recovers a hidden ultrarapid subgroup. Methods From the Piemonte and Valle d'Aosta register (

Virtual System for Upper Limbs Rehabilitation in Children

, 2017
A virtual system is presented for upper limbs rehabilitation in children using a haptic device and oculus rift. Two interactive games were created in Unity 3D with daily tasks and easy execution. In addition, the virtual system was used by two groups of children (CP and Down Syndrome) with mild spasticity, the same ones who performed the exercise.
