People living with long COVID describe a high symptom burden, and more detailed assessment is needed to inform rehabilitation recommendations. The objectives were use validated questionnaires measure the severity of fatigue compare this normative data thresholds for clinical relevance in other diseases; impact postexertional malaise (PEM); assess symptoms dysfunctional breathing, self-reported physical activity, health-related quality life.
Importance Current upper-extremity therapies provide inconsistent outcomes for children with unilateral cerebral palsy. Noninvasive brain stimulation, specifically transcranial direct current may enhance motor gains when combined therapy. Objective To determine whether the addition of neurostimulation to therapy enhances function in perinatal stroke and Design, Setting, Participants This multicenter, randomized, sham-controlled phase 3 trial was conducted from July 2017 through March 2023....
To explore the feasibility and possible effects of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) delivered to supplementary motor area (SMA) on tic severity system neurophysiology in children with Tourette syndrome.Ten syndrome (eight males, two females; 9-15y) participated this open-label, phase 1 clinical trial. Treatment consisted 1800 (1Hz) neuronavigated robotic rTMS (100% resting threshold) SMA, bilaterally for 15 sessions. The primary outcome was a change Yale...
In a number of studies in which dual-task gait paradigm was used, researchers reported relationship between cognitive function and gait. However, it is not clear to what extent these effects are dependent on the type walking tasks used paradigm. This study examined whether stride-time variability (STV) trunk range motion (RoM) affected by task speed during Participants walked at both their preferred 25% performed serial subtraction working memory speeds. Although significantly reduced STV...
Objectives Adherence to established reporting guidelines can improve clinical trial standards, but attempts adherence have produced mixed results. This exploratory study aimed determine how accurate a large language model generative artificial intelligence system (AI-LLM) was for determining guideline compliance in sample of sports medicine reports. Design an retrospective data analysis. OpenAI GPT-4 and Meta Llama 2 AI-LLM were evaluated their ability exercise science Setting Academic...
Aim To characterize fatigue in children with hemiparesis perinatal stroke and explore associations measures of motor performance corticospinal excitability. Method Forty‐five (16 females, 29 males), aged 6 to 18 years (mean [SD] 12y [4]), magnetic resonance imaging‐confirmed participated. Associations between (Pediatric Quality Life Inventory Version 3.0 cerebral palsy module subscale), (Assisting Hand Assessment [AHA], Box Blocks Test, grip strength), excitability projections both hands...
The subjective experience of fatigue impairs an individual's ability to sustain physical endurance performance. However, precise understanding the specific role perceived plays in central regulation performance remains unclear. Here, we examined whether intensity a state fatigue, pre-induced through prior upper body activity, differentially impacted and altered effort affect experienced during sustained, isometric contraction lower body. We also explored (cardiac) interoception predicted...
Cooling sensations elicited by mouth rinsing with L-menthol have been reported as ergogenic. Presently, responses to during intermittent sprint performance (ISP) in the heat are unknown and impact of increased thermal perception on ISP via capsaicin has also not quantified. This experiment aimed identify whether eliciting cooling/warming L-menthol/capsaicin would alter heat. Fourteen participants (mass = 72 ± 9 kg, $$\dot {V}{{\text{O}}_{2{\text{peak}}}}$$ 3.30 0.90 L min−1), undertook four...
Abstract Prior exercise has previously been shown to impair subsequent endurance performance in non‐activated muscles. Declines the neuromuscular function and altered perceptual/affective responses offer possible mechanisms through which may be limited these remote muscle groups. We thus conducted two experiments better understand performance‐limiting mechanisms. In first experiment, we examined effect of prior handgrip on behavioral, perceptual, affective a sustained, sub‐maximal...
Abstract Background Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology offers children with quadriplegic cerebral palsy unique opportunities for communication, environmental exploration, learning, and game play. Research in adults demonstrates a negative impact of fatigue on BCI enjoyment, while effects performance are variable. To date, there have been no pediatric studies fatigue. The purpose this study was to assess the two different paradigms, motor imagery visual P300, development self-reported...
The aim of this study was to investigate differences in neuromuscular function and corticospinal excitability response sustained unilateral (UNIL) bilateral (BIL) isometric maximal voluntary contraction (IMVC) the knee extensors. Eleven men performed a 1-min IMVC extensors with one or both legs. Central peripheral measures were assessed via surface electromyography (EMG), nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation before, immediately after, during recovery from IMVC. force...
With few treatment options available for non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP), a robotic lower extremity gait trainer may provide non-invasive addition to conventional options. This case study investigates the usage and impact of use in participant CP over initial 3 months use.This prospective involves 7-year old female (GMFCS V) (registered clinical trial: NCT04251390). The used Trexo Home (Trexo) community assessments occurring home school. bowel movements (BMs) were tracked...
Abstract Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the primary motor cortex has been reported to improve isometric exercise performance without changing corticospinal excitability. One possible cause for this may be previous use relatively high (2 mA) intensities, which have inconsistent effects on The present pre‐registered study aimed replicate previously ergogenic 2 mA tDCS and examine whether 1 anodal both improved perceived fatigue, more reliably altered On three separate...
Robotic transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive and safe tool that produces cortical motor maps using neuronavigational neuroanatomical images. Motor are individualized representations of the primary cortex (M1) topography may reflect developmental interventional plasticity. Results TMS map reliability testing have been variable, robotic measures undefined. We aimed to determine short- long-term maps. Twenty healthy participants underwent mapping at baseline, 24 h, 4 wk.
