Socially Assistive Robots for Parkinson's Disease: Needs, Attitudes and Specific Applications as Identified by Healthcare Professionals

Inbal Bar-On et al.

Summary: By conducting focus groups with clinicians, this study explores how socially assistive robots (SARs) can meet the specific needs of individuals with Parkinson's disease (IwPD). The clinicians are positive towards using SARs for motor, communication, emotional, and cognitive needs of IwPD, especially for practice and help with daily activities. However, they also have concerns about SARs replacing clinicians' work and emphasize the need for SARs to augment their work. The study also finds differences in views between clinicians and stakeholders on using SARs as companions or feeding assistants.

Sleep, caregiver burden, and life satisfaction in Parkinson's disease caregivers: a multinational investigation

Elliottnell Perez et al.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the associations between sleep problems in both Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and their caregivers, caregiver burden, and caregiver life satisfaction. The results showed that PD patient sleep problems were associated with caregiver sleep problems, leading to increased burden in caregivers and poorer life satisfaction. The findings suggest the potential for sleep interventions to improve the well-being of PD patients and their caregivers.

Exercise-mediated reinnervation of skeletal muscle in elderly people: An update

Claudia Coletti et al.

Summary: Sarcopenia, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and function, is associated with physical disability and lowered quality of life. In addition to skeletal muscle, the nervous tissue is also affected in elderly individuals. Exercise has been proposed as an intervention for age-related sarcopenia due to its beneficial effects on muscle mechanical and biochemical features. Reinnervation, a process stimulated by exercise, has been shown to preserve muscle structure and function in elderly individuals who engage in lifelong high-level exercise.

Extended Interviews with Stroke Patients Over a Long-Term Rehabilitation Using Human-Robot or Human-Computer Interactions

Yaacov Koren et al.

Summary: This study investigated the factors influencing post-stroke patients' trust in a robot-operated or a computer-operated rehabilitation platform during a long-term rehabilitation process. The results revealed that personal characteristics had an impact on patients' acceptance of a non-human operator as a practice assistant, and socially assistive robots had an added value in the rehabilitative care of stroke patients.

A Socially Assistive Robot for Stroke Patients: Acceptance, Needs, and Concerns of Patients and Informal Caregivers

Ayelet Dembovski et al.

Summary: Stroke patients can benefit from the use of Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) for physical rehabilitation, relieving the burden on caregivers. Although there are advantages to using SARs, such as constant motivation, the lack of human abilities is a disadvantage. The study collected valuable input from patients and their caregivers, which will aid in improving the development of SARs for stroke rehabilitation.

Joachim K. Krauss et al.

Summary: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure that allows targeted circuit-based neuromodulation and is now commonly used for the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, tremor, and dystonia. Advances in engineering and imaging technologies are expected to enhance the efficacy and tolerability of DBS procedures in the future.

Investigation of Autosomal Genetic Sex Differences in Parkinson's Disease

Cornelis Blauwendraat et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether there are sex-specific genetic risk factors associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) between male and female patients, but no significant differences were observed. High genetic correlation and similar heritability estimates were identified between male and female PD patients. Common genetic variations on autosomes may not explain the difference in PD prevalence between males and females cases at least in the current sample size under study.
