Importance Exercise, cognitive training, and vitamin D may enhance cognition in older adults with mild impairment (MCI). Objective To determine whether aerobic-resistance exercises would improve relative to an active control if a multidomain intervention including exercises, computerized supplementation show greater improvements than exercise alone. Design, Setting, Participants This randomized clinical trial (the SYNERGIC Study) was multisite, double-masked, fractional factorial that...
A virtual reality (VR)–based locomotor training system has been developed for gait rehabilitation post-stroke. The consists of a self-paced treadmill mounted onto 6-degree-offreedom motion platform. Virtual environments (VEs) that are synchronized with the speed and motions platform rear-projected screen in front walking subject. feasibility study was conducted to test capability two stroke patients one healthy control be trained system. Three VE scenarios (corridor walking, street crossing,...
This article introduces a novel, ecological, obstructed walking paradigm. Gait adaptations to circumvent obstacles undergoing uncertain displacements, and the effect of revealing obstacle’s action beforehand, were investigated in young adults. The personal space (PS) maintained during was quantified for first time under different environmental factors including auditory distractions. Obstacle movement its uncertainty resulted gait adjustments aimed at gaining assess situation. Early constant...
Abstract Background Virtual reality (VR) is an innovative tool for sensorimotor rehabilitation increasingly being employed in clinical and community settings. Despite the growing interest VR, few studies have determined validity of movements made VR environments with respect to real physical environments. The goal this study was compare done virtual adults motor deficits those healthy individuals. Methods participants were 8 7 mild left hemiparesis due stroke. Kinematics functional arm...
Design Single-blind randomised clinical trial. Objective To compare the effects of three 8-week rehabilitation programmes on symptoms and functional limitations runners with patellofemoral pain (PFP). Methods Sixty-nine PFP were randomly assigned to one intervention groups: (1) education management training modifications (education); (2) exercise programme in addition (exercises); (3) gait retraining (gait retraining). Symptoms assessed at baseline (T 0 ), after 4, 8 20 weeks 4 , T ) using...
Functional outcomes at 12 months were a secondary outcome of the randomized DECRA trial early decompressive craniectomy for severe diffuse traumatic brain injury (TBI) and refractory intracranial hypertension. In trial, patients randomly allocated 1:1 to either or intensive medical therapies (standard care). We conducted planned analyses 6 months, including all 155 patients. measured functional using Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOS-E). used ordered logistic regression, dichotomized GOS-E...
Locomotion relies on vision, somatosensory input, and vestibular information. Both vision signals have been shown to be phase dependently modulated during locomotion; however, the regulation of information has not investigated in humans. By delivering galvanic stimulation (GVS) subjects at either heel contact, mid-stance, or toe-off, it was possible investigate when important gait cycle. The results indicated a difference upper versus lower body control. Upper responses GVS applied different...
Abstract Introduction Optimal practice and feedback elements are essential requirements for maximal motor recovery in patients with deficits due to central nervous system lesions. Methods A virtual environment (VE) was created that incorporates necessary recovery. It permits varied challenging a motivating provides salient feedback. Results The VE gives the user knowledge of results about behavior performance quality pointing movements made elevator. Movement distances related length body...
Walking speed, which is often reduced after stroke, can be influenced by the perception of optic flow (OF) speed. The present study aims to: 1) compare modulation walking speed in response to OF changes between persons with stroke and healthy controls 2) investigate whether virtual environments (VE) manipulating used promote volitional post stroke. Twelve 12 individuals walked on a self-paced treadmill while viewing corridor helmet-mounted display. Two experiments were carried out same day....
Objective: To begin to understand changes in locomotor navigation elite athletes following concussion. Methods: Clinical measures and gait analysis were undertaken on average 37.33 days (SD = 4.8) postconcussion for 6 as well a control group of matched age, sex, team. The task consisted walking at self-selected speed along an unobstructed or obstructed path with without visual interference task. trends 4 dependent variables described (2 behavior 2 cognitive behavior). A principal component...
Lateral balance is a critical factor in keeping the human body upright during walking. Two important mechanisms for control are stepping strategy, which foot placement changed direction of sensed fall to modulate how gravitational force acts on body, and lateral ankle mass actively accelerated by an torque. Currently, there minimal evidence about these two strategies complement one another achieve locomotion. We use Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) induce sensation at heel-off gait...
The purpose of this study was to compare avoidance and accommodation strategies during gait between healthy, community-dwelling, young elderly males. Ten (28.4 ± 5.4 years) ten (69.5 6.1 males were tested while walking on the level, avoiding a 11.75-cm-high obstacle, accommodating change in floor height 11.75 cm. Three dimensional, kinematic, kinetic analyses performed bilaterally. Both age groups used same general sagittal plane order avoid accommodate obstructions, but group had...
BackgroundMotor and cognitive impairments are common among older adults often co-exist, increasing their risk of dementia, falls, fractures. Gait performance is an accepted indicator global health it has been proposed as a valid motor marker to detect at developing mobility declines including future falls incident dementia. Our goal was provide gait assessment protocol be used for clinical research purposes.MethodsBased on consensus that identified evaluations assess motor–cognitive...
