Introduction: Evaluating responsiveness has an important role in design and interpretation of the interventional studies. The aim was to estimate the responsiveness and minimally important difference (MID) of postural performance measures following balance rehabilitation in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS, n = 38).

Methods: Postural measures were evaluated at baseline and after 4 weeks intervention. Laboratory-based measures were center of pressure parameters. Clinically-based measures were Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Functional Gait Assessment (FGA); and walking measures 2 Minute Walk (2 MW), 10 Meter Timed Walk (10 MTW) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) performed under single and dual-task conditions. To evaluate responsiveness, we calculated the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) and the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC). The optimal values for the MID were the cutoffs corresponding to the upper left corner of the ROC curve.

Results: The AUCs for mean and standard deviation of sway velocity were above the cutoff of 0.50 in most conditions. For the clinically-based measures, the highest AUCs were found for the ABC, and cognitive-2MW, followed by the BBS and 10 MTW.

Conclusions: In this preliminary study, the most appropriate postural performance measures and the MID values for detecting meaningful changes in MS undergoing balance rehabilitation have been provided.

No Evidence for an Effect of the Distance Between the Hands on Tactile Temporal Order Judgments.

Authors:
Louise Manfron Camille Vanderclausen Valéry Legrain

Perception 2021 Mar 2:301006621998877. Epub 2021 Mar 2.

Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium.

Localizing somatosensory stimuli is an important process, as it allows us to spatially guide our actions toward the object entering in contact with the body. Accordingly, the positions of tactile inputs are coded according to both somatotopic and spatiotopic representations, the latter one considering the position of the stimulated limbs in external space. The spatiotopic representation has often been evidenced by means of temporal order judgment (TOJ) tasks. Read More

The Immediate Effect of Trunk Weighting on Balance and Functional Measures of People with Parkinson's Disease: A Feasibility Study.

Authors:
Rolando Lazaro

J Allied Health 2021 ;50(1):38-46

California State University Sacramento, 6000 J Street MS 6020, Sacramento, CA 95819, USA. Tel 916-278-5054, fax 916-278-6842.

Background: Declines in postural control, mobility, and gait are related to negative health outcomes in Parkinson's disease (PD). The addition of small weights to the trunk has been used to increase postural stability and functional performance in persons with neurological dysfunctions but not in persons with PD. The purpose of the study was to determine if small weights applied on the torso have immediate effects on balance and mobility in people with PD. Read More

Using augmented reality technology for balance training in the older adults: a feasibility pilot study.

Authors:
Sven Blomqvist Stefan Seipel Maria Engström

BMC Geriatr 2021 Feb 26;21(1):144. Epub 2021 Feb 26.

Faculty of Health and Occupational Studies, University of Gävle, Gävle, Sweden.

Background: Impaired balance leading to falls is common in the older adults, and there is strong evidence that balance training reduces falls and increases independence. Reduced resources in health care will result in fewer people getting help with rehabilitation training. In this regard, the new technology augmented reality (AR) could be helpful. Read More

Objective: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is highly prevalent among cancer survivors, which may have long-term effects on physical activity and quality of life. CRF is assessed by self-report or clinical observation, which may limit timely diagnosis and management. In this study, we examined the effect of CRF on mobility performance measured by a wearable pendant sensor. Read More
