Bradykinesia is one of the core motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Neurologists typically perform face-to-face bradykinesia assessment in PD patients according to the Movement Disorder Society-sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS). As this human-expert assessment lacks objectivity and consistency, an automated and objective assessment scheme for bradykinesia is critically needed. Read More

Aims: The study aimed at examining the effectiveness of cognitive-motor dual-task and single-task cognitive training on executive and attention functions in participants over 65 years of age.

Methods: The study comprised 68 participants. They were randomly assigned to dual-task cognitive-motor training (DTT), single-task cognitive training (STT) or a control group (C). Read More

: Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) is widely employed by occupational therapists working with clients who experience challenges in sensory integration, including those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a dearth of research examining the feasibility of ASI outside of Western nations. This study documented the barriers associated with ASI in Saudi Arabia and assessed whether the intervention could improve process and participation skills. Read More

Objective: Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) translate neural activity into motor commands to restore motor functions for people with paralysis. Local field potentials (LFPs) are promising for long-term BMIs, since the quality of the recording lasts longer than single neuronal spikes. Inferring neuronal spike activity from population activities such as LFPs is challenging, because LFPs stem from synaptic currents flowing in the neural tissue produced by various neuronal ensembles and reflect neural synchronization.

Objectives: To assess effects of supplementation with 3 or more micronutrients (multiple micronutrients; MMN) compared to no MMN in human milk-fed preterm and low birth weight (LBW) infants.

Results: Data on a subgroup of 414 preterm or LBW infants from 2 randomized controlled trials (4 reports) were included. The certainty of evidence ranged from low to very low. Read More
