Central pain syndromes.
Authors: Hassaballa D, Harvey RL Abstract The management of pain in persons with neurological injuries is challenging and complex. A holistic view and clinical approach are necessary when addressing pain in patients with neurological impairment because interpreting signs and symptoms and deciphering sources of pain is never a straightforward process. This problem is further magnified with the management of central pain syndromes. The best approach is to have a good understanding of the clinical characteristics commonly found in this patient population, in particular for patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS)...

Virtual reality during gait training: does it improve gait function in persons with central nervous system movement disorders? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: VR-enhanced gait training is an effective method to improve spatiotemporal and functional parameters in persons with CNS movement disorders. Current evidence supports that, in comparison to training without VR, for people post-stroke VR-enhanced gait training is more effective to improve gait function. Future research regarding other outcome measures and other CNS movement disorders is necessary. PMID: 30814368 [PubMed - in process]

Male and female opinions about orthotic devices of the lower limb: A multicentre, observational study in patients with central neurological movement disorders.
CONCLUSION: For both, males and females, aspects related to comfort and functionality were reported as much more important than the esthetical aspects, and in general they are quite satisfied with the OD and the process of providing the OD. Orthopaedic technicians and health care providers can take these aspects into account when developing, constructing and providing OD's. PMID: 29400677 [PubMed - in process]

Efficacy of exercise intervention programs on cognition in people suffering from multiple sclerosis, stroke and Parkinson's disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis of current evidence.
CONCLUSION: Due to lack of commonality between measures of cognition, training sequences and intervention period, it remains unclear as to whether exercise training can be effective in improving the cognitive functions of neurological patients. PMID: 26484519 [PubMed - in process]

Determinants of disability using count-based approaches to icf-based definition of neurological disability
CONCLUSIONS: Results show that sociodemographic variables played a minor role, while health state information was a stronger determinant of severe disability. Compared to the reference value of TBI patients, those with MG, PD and epilepsy had higher odds to have severe difficulties undertaking daily activities despite the presence of environmental factors. Our results contrast with those of previous studies, mostly derived from general populations, showing the different impact of clinical and sociodemographic variables.

The ICF as a framework to collect and interpret data on the extent and variety of disability in neurological conditions
CONCLUSIONS: Records from 1310 patients were available. A total of 97 ICF categories were reported, and 21 were commonly addressed in more than five conditions. Approximately half of the categories in body functions were related to mental and movement-related functions and more than 25% of the activities-related categories involved activities that require the support from a caregiver. Environmental factors were mostly reported as facilitators. Our data indicate a residual mind-body dichotomy, the relevance of disability not only for the patients but also for their caregivers, and the difficulties in addressing barriers in ...
