Clinical gait analysis (CGA) is a systematic approach to comprehensively evaluate patterns, quantify impairments, plan targeted interventions, and the impact of interventions. However, international standards for CGA are currently lacking, resulting in various national initiatives. Standards important ensure safe effective healthcare practices enable evidence-based clinical decision-making, facilitating interoperability, reimbursement under policies. Collaborative research work between...
Procedural Perceptual-Motor Learning (PPML) refers to the process leading acquisition of new motor skills through repeated practice. It is crucial (re-)acquire needed in daily life and rehabilitation. can be divided two processes: sequence learning (SL) sensorimotor adaptation (SA). SL a actions that follows precise order, while SA involves continuously adjusting outputs compensate for environmental or internal disturbances. These processes are typically measured using different lab-based...
Stroke patients have impaired postural balance that increases the risk of falls and impairs their mobility. Assessment is commonly carried out by recording centre pressure (CoP) displacements, but lack data concerning reliability these measures compromises interpretation. The purpose this study was to investigate between-day six CoP-based variables, in order provide i) for monitoring sway weight-bearing asymmetry stroke clinical practice ii) consistent assessment method measurement error...
Aims Lower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTD) are very common in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), have a significant social impact, while the organic impact is discussed. We studied complications and their risk factors our cohort of MS patients, order to improve management LUTD MS. Methods Between 2004 2009, all patients affected by managed for were included retrospective study. epidemiological data (age, gender), clinical (duration MS, EDSS score, progression MS) paraclinical (urinary creatinine...
Electromyographic (EMG) raw signals are sensitive to intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Consequently, EMG normalization is required draw proper interpretations of standardized data. Specific recommendations needed regarding a relevant method for participants who show atypical patterns, such as post-stroke subjects. This study compared three methods ("isometric MVC", "isokinetic MVC kinematic-related") on muscle activations the antagonist-agonist co-contraction index. Fifteen subjects fifteen...
Spasticity and spastic co-contraction are expressions of muscle overactivity that occur in paresis syndrome after a brain injury.The objective the present pilot study was to improve our understanding respective adverse consequences spasticity on motor disability.In contrary spasticity, is strongly associated with impairment subjects injury.Therapies should be directed toward reducing order function. Objective: To elucidate elbow flexors upper limb functional limitation.Design: A...
Spastic co-contraction is a motor-disabling form of muscle overactivity occurring after stroke, contributing to limitation in active movement and certain level motor impairment. The cortical mechanisms underlying spastic remain be more fully elucidated, the present study aimed investigate role beta oscillations stroke. We recruited fifteen post-stroke participants nine healthy controls. were asked perform elbow extensions. In study, multimodal analysis was performed combine evaluation...
Abstract Background After stroke, kinematic measures obtained with non-robotic and robotic devices are highly recommended to precisely quantify the sensorimotor impairments of upper-extremity select most relevant therapeutic strategies. Although ArmeoSpring exoskeleton has demonstrated its effectiveness in stroke motor rehabilitation, interest as an assessment tool not been sufficiently documented. The aim this study was investigate psychometric properties selected parameters post-stroke...
Given the important role of shoulder sensorimotor system in stability, its assessment appears interest. Force platform monitoring centre pressure (CoP) upper-limb weight-bearing positions is interest as it allows integration all aspects control. This study aimed to determine feasibility and reliability control by force platform. Forty-five healthy subjects performed two sessions CoP measurement using Win-Posturo(®) Medicapteurs an position with lower limbs resting on a table either anterior...
Introduction Strokes leave around 40% of survivors dependent in their activities daily living, notably due to severe motor disabilities. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have been shown be efficiency for improving recovery after stroke, but this is still far from the level required achieve clinical breakthrough expected by both clinicians and patients. While technical levers improvement identified (e.g., sensors signal processing), fully optimized BCIs are pointless if patients cannot or do...
Abstract Background Neuromuscular disease and peripheral neuropathy may cause drop foot with or without evertor weakness. We developed a helical-shaped, non-articulated ankle–foot orthosis (AFO) to provide medial–lateral stability while allowing mobility, improve gait capacity. Our aim was evaluate the effect of helical AFO (hAFO) on functional capacity (6-min walk test) in people neuromuscular (NMD) causing unilateral compare posterior leaf spring (plsAFO). Secondary aims were 3D kinematic...
Accurate assessment of upper-limb movement alterations is a key component post-stroke follow-up. Motion capture (MoCap) the gold standard for even in clinical conditions, but it requires laboratory setting with relatively complex implementation. Alternatively, inertial measurement units (IMUs) are subject growing interest, their accuracy remains to be challenged. This study aims assess minimal detectable change (MDC) between spatiotemporal and quality variables obtained from these IMUs...
