Potential Effects of an Exoskeleton-Assisted Overground Walking Program for Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury Who Uses a Wheelchair on Imaging and Serum Markers of Bone Strength: Pre-Post Study

Potential Effects of an Exoskeleton-Assisted Overground Walking Program for Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury Who Uses a Wheelchair on Imaging and Serum Markers of Bone Strength: Pre-Post Study

However, after sustaining a spinal cord injury (SCI), up to 60% of individuals use a wheelchair as their primary mode of locomotion—leading to a chronic reduction in lower-extremity weight bearing and reduced mechanical loading [3]. As a result, these individuals experience an accelerated loss in lower-extremity bone mass, particularly if no mitigation strategies are implemented during the first 18 to 24 months following the SCI [4].

A Perspective on Using Virtual Reality to Incorporate the Affective Context of Everyday Falls Into Fall Prevention

A Perspective on Using Virtual Reality to Incorporate the Affective Context of Everyday Falls Into Fall Prevention

As a result of poor “balance confidence” or low “falls efficacy,” many older adults report a “fear of falling” and experience mobility-related anxiety during locomotion [16]. We provide a brief overview of how fear and anxiety influence fall risk (ie, the physiological and cognitive response to a perceived threat in a balance or walking task). We refer the reader elsewhere for detailed reviews that distinguish these processes from concepts such as concern about falling [13,16,18].

Gait and Axial Spondyloarthritis: Comparative Gait Analysis Study Using Foot-Worn Inertial Sensors

Gait and Axial Spondyloarthritis: Comparative Gait Analysis Study Using Foot-Worn Inertial Sensors

The Function, Locomotion, Measurement, Inflammation (FOLOMI) study was approved by local ethics committee (CPP Ile De France 1, RCB: 2017-A03468-45) and registered with Clinical Trials.gov [NCT03761212] and followed the SPIRIT (Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials) checklist. All participants of the study signed informed consent.
