Patients were randomly assigned to either the W-RAGT group (n = 30) or the TGT group (n = 30). Both groups received 30-minute training sessions three times a week for eight weeks. Balance ability was assessed using the L-symmetry, and BBS and motor recovery by FMA-LE. Cadence, step length, and stride length were measured to evaluate walking ability. Follow-up assessments were conducted at 16 weeks.Results: After 8 weeks of treatment, the W-RAGT group demonstrated significant functional improvements in motor ability and balance (FMA-LE, p < 0.001; L-symmetry, p = 0.049; BBS, p < 0.001) and walking ability (cadence, p = 0.017; step length, p = 0.038; stride length, p = 0.042). At the 16 weeks follow-up, the W-RAGT group maintained significant gains in motor ability and balance (FMA-LE, p < 0.001; L-symmetry, p = 0.025; BBS, p = 0.011) and walking ability (cadence, p < 0.001; step length, p = 0.025; stride length, p = 0.001).Conclusion: The overground wearable robotic device used in this study, W-RAGT was found to be more effective than TGT in improving motor ability and balance, and walking ability in stroke patients.","PeriodicalId":7850,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143555624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 1094 results (men n = 774; women n = 320) were analyzed. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare overall performance time, absolute time spent in each discipline, and percentage of performance time spent in each discipline between sports classes. Pearson's correlation between segment times and overall times were explored.Results: Overall time was significantly quicker in PTS5 than PTS4 and PTS3 ( P < 0.05), and between PTS4 and PTS3 ( P < 0.05), but no differences were found between PTS3 and PTS2. PTS5 was also quicker than PTS4 and PTS3 ( P < 0.05) across most of the individual discipline times. Cycling comprised the highest percentage of race time in all classes (47.1%-49.6%) and was strongly correlated to overall performance ( r = 0.72-0.91).Conclusions: Hierarchy in performance times was demonstrated between the less impaired paratriathlon classes, but not between the most impaired PTS2 and PTS3 classes.

Research has shown that individuals with unilateral lower limb amputation are 17 times more likely to develop osteoarthritis on their sound side limb. Therefore, this review aimed to describe similarities and differences in the biomechanical loading variables of individuals with osteoarthritis and those with unilateral lower limb amputation.Design: Researchers systematically searched PubMed-Medline, EBSCOhost, and Web of Science for articles published between January 1990 and February 2022. Included studies investigated the biomechanical profiles (peak external knee adduction moment; peak external knee flexion moment; ground reaction force; external knee adduction moment loading rate; external knee adduction moment impulse) of both population groups.Results: A total of 31 articles were included in this review. Only knee adduction moment and knee flexion moment presented similar profiles in both groups, while all other variables were dissimilar. The use of advanced prostheses reduced the loading on the sound side of individuals with unilateral lower limb amputation.Conclusions: As both knee adduction moment and knee flexion moment are surrogate measures for knee contact forces, interventions need to target these variables to help manage and prevent the development of osteoarthritis. Interventions, particularly for addressing these variables in individuals with unilateral lower limb amputation, should be further investigated in future research.","PeriodicalId":7850,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"210-218"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141449357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During a tendon lengthening surgery in the forearm, the anterior interosseous nerve was exposed. A specialized nerve cuff electrode was placed around the nerve, and a stimulating probe held on the nerve 1 cm proximal to the cuff electrode delivered pulses of current causing the pronator quadratus muscle to contract. Through the cuff electrode, 20-kHz high-frequency stimulation was delivered to the nerve for 10 secs during proximal stimulation. High-frequency stimulation amplitudes between 5 and 10 mA peak-to-peak were tested to determine which produced complete and partial block of the electrically induced contractions. The minimum high-frequency stimulation amplitude that produced complete block was 8 mA, with lower amplitudes producing partial block. In all trials, muscle contractions resumed immediately after high-frequency stimulation was turned off. This demonstration of high-frequency electrical nerve block is a milestone in the road to clinical implementation of high-frequency stimulation mediated motor block for spasticity.","PeriodicalId":7850,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"e37-e40"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141490573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
