J. Clin. Med., 2024 • November 4, 2024
This umbrella review comprehensively examined and analyzed systematic reviews (SRs) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating rehabilitative interventions with robotic devices. Overall, 62 ...
KEY FINDING: Stroke was the most frequently reported disease in the included systematic reviews (40 SRs), followed by spinal cord injury (8 SRs), multiple sclerosis (4 SRs), cerebral palsy (4 SRs), Parkinson’s disease (3 SRs), and neurological disease (3 SRs).
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2024 • December 3, 2024
This study investigated the impact of visual feedback type and physiotherapist-patient interaction level on patient engagement during robot-assisted gait training (t-RAGT) using eye-tracking (ET) and ...
KEY FINDING: The type of visual feedback significantly affects all eye-tracking metrics across monitor, physiotherapist, and surrounding areas of interest.
Children, 2024 • November 14, 2024
The study evaluated neurogenic bladder and bowel dysfunction (NBBD) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and acquired brain injury (ABI), finding it highly prevalent. Data from 60 patients aged 3-18 y...
KEY FINDING: All patients presented with at least one type of incontinence, and no differences between sexes were observed.
Sensors, 2024 • November 6, 2024
This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global EEG-based BCI research in rehabilitation from 2013 to 2023, focusing on primary research and review articles. The analysis reveals a...
KEY FINDING: EEG-BCI research has seen a rapid increase, peaking in 2022, primarily focusing on motor and sensory rehabilitation.
Front. Rehabil. Sci., 2025 • January 6, 2025
This case report investigated the effects of focal muscle vibration (fMV) combined with neurocognitive exercises on a 46-year-old patient with spastic paraparesis secondary to spinal ependymoma remova...
KEY FINDING: The patient showed an overall improvement in assessment scales after treatment, indicating reduced spasticity and pain.
International Journal of Stroke, 2025 • April 1, 2025
The RETAKE trial evaluated the effectiveness of ESSVR plus usual care versus usual care alone for helping people return-to-work after stroke. The study found no evidence that ESSVR conferred any benef...
KEY FINDING: ESSVR did not show a significant benefit over usual care in improving return-to-work rates at 12 months post-stroke.
Front. Rehabil. Sci., 2024 • November 20, 2024
This paper describes a co-design process used to develop personalized mobility programming (PMP) for individuals with mobility impairments, using an adaptive intervention design approach and integrate...
KEY FINDING: The co-design process led to the development of four personalized mobility programs: cognitive cardio class, functional strength class, mobility circuit group, and an open gym.
Experimental Physiology, 2025 • January 1, 2025
This case report examines cortico-spinal connectivity required for force control by the digits after neurological injury. The study documents a stroke survivor capable of controlling finger forces dur...
KEY FINDING: A stroke survivor retained the ability to control finger forces at a level comparable to neurologically intact adults despite extensive white matter loss.
Front. Neurosci., 2024 • November 29, 2024
This editorial highlights recent advancements and diverse applications of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in managing neurological disorders, aiming to enhance quality of life and functional abilitie...
KEY FINDING: Combining epidural electrical stimulation (EES) with near-infrared nerve stimulation (nINS) can enhance motor function specificity in spinal cord injury (SCI) rats by selectively activating target muscles.
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2025 • December 4, 2025
The study compared six electrode montages for transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) to identify which montage most effectively activates spinal circuits, using posterior root-muscle reflexes (PRM re...
KEY FINDING: DV-U and DV-I montages were associated with significantly lower soleus RT in both dominant and nondominant lower extremities compared to other montages
