KEY FINDING: The LRMS Questionnaire demonstrated high correlation with established fall risk assessment tools such as TUG, FES-I, and Tinetti Assessment Tool.
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 • September 1, 2022
This study protocol outlines a prospective functional neuroimaging and electrophysiological study to investigate the central-peripheral coupling effect of OAKT on post-stroke dyskinesia. The research ...
KEY FINDING: The study aims to clarify the neurological processing of acupuncture kinesitherapy covering the entire pathway from peripheral to central nervous system.
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022 • September 1, 2022
Team IHMC developed the Quix exoskeleton for the 2020 Cybathlon, focusing on improvements in user comfort, ease of use, and device performance compared to their previous designs. Quix features a power...
KEY FINDING: The addition of a powered hip ab/adduction joint in Quix reduced the upper-body effort required for balance by laterally shifting the user's weight over the stance leg.

Exp Neurol, 2022 • September 1, 2022
This study investigated the role of glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) in myeloid cells after spinal cord injury (SCI). Contrary to the hypothesis that deleting GR would worsen outcomes, the study found t...
KEY FINDING: Deleting GR in myeloid cells (macrophages and microglia) reduced the inflammatory response in the spinal cord after injury.
Exp Neurol, 2022 • September 1, 2022
This study investigates a therapeutic strategy co-targeting kinases involved in extrinsic and intrinsic regulatory pathways to promote axon regeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI). The kinase inhi...
