Prediction of future falls among full-time wheelchair and scooter users with multiple sclerosis: A prospective study

Libak Abou et al.

Summary: This study found that 75% of full-time wheelchair or scooter users with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience at least one fall in a 6-month period. The study highlights the importance of asking patients about their fall history in order to quickly identify those at higher risk and provide appropriate interventions.

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.

The impact of service dogs on children, youth and their families: A systematic review

Sally Lindsay et al.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the impact of service dogs on children, youth and their families, finding that service dogs have the potential to improve physical health, psychological health, social well-being and strengthen the bond between dog and owner. However, challenges in owning a service dog were also reported.

Risk factors for falling for people with Multiple Sclerosis identified in a prospective cohort study

Gillian Quinn et al.

Summary: The study confirmed the high incidence of falls for people with Multiple Sclerosis and provided a risk prediction model including fall history, problems with bladder control, not having visual problems, and a slower Timed Up and Go speed. This model can be used to identify those at greater risk and in need of tailored falls prevention intervention.

Differential effects and discriminative validity of motor and cognitive tasks varying in difficulty on cognitive-motor interference in persons with multiple sclerosis

Renee Veldkamp et al.

Summary: The study found that the difficulty of both motor and cognitive tasks can impact the cognitive-motor interference (CMI) in individuals with multiple sclerosis, especially affecting motor performance. Although people with multiple sclerosis performed worse on tasks compared to healthy controls, there were no significant differences in CMI between the two groups.

Sensorimotor, Cognitive, and Affective Functions Contribute to the Prediction of Falls in Old Age and Neurologic Disorders: An Observational Study

Kimberley S. van Schooten et al.

Summary: The study found that deficits in cognition and affect, along with concern about falling, are as important as sensorimotor function for fall prediction in older people and clinical groups.

Cognitive-motor Interference in Individuals With a Neurologic Disorder: A Systematic Review of Neural Correlates

Renee Veldkany et al.

Summary: The study investigated the neural correlates of cognitive-motor dual tasking in individuals with neurologic disorders, revealing that these patients showed higher brain activation levels during single tasks compared to healthy controls, potentially compromising their ability to adapt brain activation during dual tasking and resulting in decreased performance.

Dual-Task Performance in Multiple Sclerosis' Patients: Cerebellum Matters?

Ornella Argento et al.

Summary: This study explored the effects of adding a cognitive task to walking in PMS patients and the role of the cerebellum in the interference process. The results showed that cognitive-motor interference is present in healthy individuals but more disabling in PMS, with MRI data pointing to cerebellar reorganization in PMS.
