Brain Activity and Connectivity in Fatigued People with Multiple Sclerosis During a Static Balance Task: An fNIRS Study

Davide Cattaneo, Alessandro Torchio, Augusto Bonilauri, Chiara Corrini et autres

Fatigue and balance disorders are common in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), but the neural mechanisms linking them during postural control remain unclear. This cross-sectional study aims to examine associations between fatigue, balance impairment, and task-evoked cortical hemodynamics/connectivity. Sixteen PwMS (relapsing-remitting MS; …

Home-based EXergames To impRovE cognitive function in MUltiple Sclerosis (EXTREMUS)

Luca Prosperini, Andrea Tacchino, Serena Ruggieri, Giampaolo Brichetto et autres

BACKGROUND: Motor and cognitive dysfunctions are common and disabling features in multiple sclerosis (MS) that remain challenging to treat. Here, we aimed to explore the effect of exergames as a stand-alone approach for people with MS and impaired processing speed. METHODS: This …

Fatigue and Its Association with Upper Limb Function in People with Multiple Sclerosis

Erica Grange, Davide Marengo, Rachele Di Giovanni, Giampaolo Brichetto et autres

Background and Objectives: This cross-sectional study investigates the association between fatigue and upper limb (UL) function in people with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS). Methods: Adult PwMS were recruited from five Italian MS centers. Fatigue was evaluated using the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS), …

Investigating Balance Perception and Balance Performance in Neurological Disorders for Targeted Rehabilitation Strategies

Rebecca Cardini, Alessandro Torchio, Irene Aprile, Andrea Turolla et autres

IMPORTANCE: Task-specific balance deficits are common in people with neurological disorders (PwND), significantly affecting their activities of daily living (ADLs). However, the relationship between balance deficits and ADLs measured by patient-reported outcomes is poorly understood, thus limiting the selection of specific static …

Association of physiotherapy dose with motor recovery in early subacute phase after stroke: results from a multicenter Italian study

Silvia Salvalaggio, Nicola Valè, Thomas Bowman, Davide Cattaneo et autres

Introduction: The literature investigating the factors associated with functional recovery after stroke suggests that, in the early subacute phase, time is the factor that most significantly drives the recovery. However, it is unclear whether the dose of physiotherapy (PT) delivered is equally …

Delivering the Lee Silverman voice treatment-loud method in-site versus telerehabilitation in people with multiple sclerosis: Feasibility evidence of a non-inferiority pilot randomized controlled trial

Chiara Vitali, Giulia Fusari, Diego Michael Cacciatore, Giulia Smecca et autres

Objective: Telerehabilitation may overcome accessibility barriers related to the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT)-Loud for dysphonia rehabilitation in multiple sclerosis (MS). The present study provides the feasibility evidence on patient-relevant structural and procedure effects of a pilot randomized controlled trial comparing LSVT-Loud …

Effects of high-intensity multimodal functional training on motor and cognitive functions in people with multiple sclerosis: A study protocol of a pilot randomized controlled trial

Rebecca Cardini, Rita Bertoni, Ilaria Carpinella, Chiara Pegorini et autres

Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition causing motor and cognitive impairments. Evidence indicates that multimodal rehabilitation, including high-intensity interval training (HIIT), balance, and strength exercises can improve balance, walking ability, and cognition while reducing fatigue in People with MS …

Establishing minimal clinically important difference of modified dynamic gait index in people with subacute stroke

Fabiola Giovanna Mestanza Mattos, Thomas Bowman, Cristina Allera Longo, Serena Bocini et autres

Background People with stroke (PwST) often have significant balance limitations, making it crucial to focus rehabilitation on improving mobility and reducing the risk of falls. The Modified Dynamic Gait Index (MDGI) is recommended for measuring balance in various neurological conditions, but a …
