Fear of Falling Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults with Heart Disease: Findings from an International Mobility in Aging Study (IMIAS)

Ala' S. Aburub et al.

Summary: Older adults with heart disease are more likely to experience fear of falling compared to those without heart disease. Factors such as education level, physical function, cognitive abilities, and income level were found to be significantly associated with fear of falling in this population. This study provides insight for developing intervention programs aimed at reducing fear of falling among older adults with heart disease.

A Pilot Study of Intensive Locomotor-Related Skill Training and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Chronic Spinal Cord Injury

Nicholas H. Evans et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of a moderate-intensity motor skill training circuit on walking function in PwMISCI and whether the addition of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) influenced outcomes. The results showed that the MST circuit significantly improved walking speed, distance, cadence, and stride length, but had no effect on interlimb symmetry index. No significant additive effects of tDCS were observed.

Effectiveness of Physical Therapy Interventions in Reducing Fear of Falling Among Individuals With Neurologic Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Libak Abou et al.

Summary: The effectiveness of physical therapy interventions on reducing fear of falling (FOF) varies among different neurologic diseases. Combination of gait and balance training is effective for individuals with Parkinson's disease, while home-based or leisure exercise shows promise for individuals with multiple sclerosis. More research is needed to explore the effectiveness of FOF interventions in individuals with neurologic diseases.

No effect of anodal tDCS on motor cortical excitability and no evidence for responders in a large double-blind placebo-controlled trial

Zeb D. Jonker et al.

Summary: This study aimed to test the effect of anodal tDCS on cortical excitability and the interaction effect of participant-specific factors, but did not find a main effect of anodal tDCS or interaction effect of the predictors. The study suggests that anodal tDCS at 2 mA for 20 min may not reliably affect cortical excitability.

Functional gait measures correlate to fear of falling, and quality of life in patients with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: A cross-sectional study

Heiko Gassner et al.

Summary: The study shows that functional gait measures are strongly correlated with fear of falling and the physical component of quality of life, while Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) and quality of life are also correlated with the clinical gold standard (SPRS). Gait measures strongly correlate with SPRS, indicating that they reflect fear of falling, quality of life, and mobility in HSP patients.

Improving consolidation by applying anodal transcranial direct current stimulation at primary motor cortex during repetitive practice

Taewon Kim et al.

Summary: The study found that administering anodal stimulation at the primary motor cortex (M1) during repetitive practice can improve retention performance, with interleaved practice showing better results compared to repetitive practice. M1 plays a crucial role in the early consolidation of novel motor skills, especially in facilitating offline gains.

Priscilla G. Wittkopf et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effect of homeostatic plasticity induction on MEP in healthy participants. It was found that two blocks of stimulation at the primary motor cortex could produce a homeostatic response within 30 minutes. Two blocks of inhibitory stimulation at the primary motor cortex with no stimulation interval between blocks produced an opposite homeostatic response.

Improving online and offline gain from repetitive practice using anodal tDCS at dorsal premotor cortex

Taewon Kim et al.

Summary: Administering anodal transcranial direct current stimulation at the left dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) during repetitive practice of novel motor sequences resulted in improved offline performance, which only emerged following overnight sleep. These findings support the role of the left PMd in motor sequence learning and its involvement in sleep-related consolidation of skill memory.

Exercise Interventions Targeting Obesity in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury

David W. McMillan et al.

Summary: Spinal cord injury often results in cardiometabolic complications, with obesity being a common component risk. Physical exercise is recommended as a primary treatment strategy, aiming to induce a negative energy balance and increase fat utilization. Tailoring exercise in this population is important due to reduced muscle mass and oxidative capacity, making it necessary to target large muscle groups and induce hypertrophy to effectively manage obesity.
