Patients' experiences of self-administered electrotherapy for spasticity in stroke and cerebral palsy: A qualitative study
Conclusion: The qualitative approach used in this study elicited complementary information that was not evident from the previous RCT. This included statements regarding increased mobility, reduced spasticity, reduced use of medication, and problems related to using the treatment concept.PMID:34935050 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v53.1131

White Paper by the European Society for Swallowing Disorders: Screening and Non-instrumental Assessment for Dysphagia in Adults
AbstractThis White Paper by the European Society for Swallowing Disorders (ESSD) reports on the current state of screening and non-instrumental assessment for dysphagia in adults. An overview is provided on the measures that are available, and how to select screening tools and assessments. Emphasis is placed on different types of screening, patient-reported measures, assessment of anatomy and physiology of the swallowing act, and clinical swallowing evaluation. Many screening and non-instrumental assessments are available for evaluating dysphagia in adults; however, their use may not be warranted due to poor diagnostic per...

Cortical mapping of mirror visual feedback training for unilateral upper extremity: A functional near ‐infrared spectroscopy study
ConclusionsOur experiment implies that the modest activation of ipsilateral SMC during MT is likely to be associated with the enhanced activity of ipsilateral SMA and that the precuneus may not be an essential component of the MT ‐related neural network.

Effects of Whole-Body Vibration on Motor Impairments in Patients With Neurological Disorders: A Systematic Review
Conclusions There is weak evidence for a positive effect of short-term whole-body vibration training on spasticity of lower limbs, mobility, balance, and postural control. Besides, positive effect of the long-term effect of whole-body vibration training on mobility in patients with neurological disorders. The optimal whole-body vibration training parameters in treating patients with neurological disorders remain unclear.

Video game-based and conventional therapies in patients of neurological deficits: an experimental study.
Conclusion: This study opens the way for future researchers, psychologists, physiotherapist and other practitioners to do more extensive work in the domain of virtual reality with different sample, constructs and approaches.Implications for rehabilitationIt has become increasing important to introduce new state-to-art technologies in domain of rehabilitation.People are reluctant to use all the traditional modes of treatment. As these conventional ways of treatment are least motivating and interesting to indulge the patients without force and burden. It is evident in the present study that addition of virtual reality-based ...
