Developmental dyslexia is characterized by difficulties in learning to read, affecting cognition and causing failure at school. Interventions for children with developmental dyslexia have focused on improving linguistic capabilities (phonics, orthographic and morphological instructions), but developmental dyslexia is accompanied by a wide variety o...
Objectives: To assess the test-retest reliability of the corticokinematic coherence (CKC), an electrophysiological marker of proprioception, in children with cerebral palsy (CP).Methods: Electroencephalography (EEG) signals from 15 children with unilateral or bilateral CP aged 23 to 53 months were recorded in two sessions 3 months apart using 128-c...

PAR3/INSC/LGN form an evolutionarily conserved complex required for asymmetric cell division in the developing brain, but its post-developmental function and disease relevance in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) remains unknown. We mapped a new locus for axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT2) and identified a missense mutation c.209 T > G (p....

Back pain is one of the major global challenges and is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders occurring in 80% of people at least once in their lifetime. Therefore, the need to find appropriate treatment methods for this issue is very important. The objective is to examine the short-term and acute effects of a treatment session with dr...

The purpose was to assess the effectiveness of three sliding tactile probes placed on the forelimb skin to provide proprioceptive feedback for the detection of hand gestures and discrimination of object size. Tactile contactors representing the first three fingers were driven along the proximodistal axis by linear servo motors. Twenty healthy subje...

Proprioception provides important sensory feedback regarding the position of an animal’s body and limbs in space. This interacts with a central pattern generator responsible for rhythmic movement, to adapt locomotion to the demands that an animal’s environment places on it. The mechanisms by which this feedback is enabled are poorly understood, whi...

Ein 6‑wöchiges häusliches Übungsprogramm zur Stabilisierung der Halswirbelsäule scheint vorteilhaft zu sein, um die beeinträchtigte zervikale Propriozeption bei Patienten mit axSpA zu verbessern.
Stroke-induced neurological impairments affect millions globally, with movement-related disability one of the most common long-term consequences. Recent evidence suggests that proprioception – the ability to perceive the position and movement of body parts in space – plays a key role in movement rehabilitation after stroke. Proprioception is requir...
Taping is increasingly used to manage proprioceptive deficits, but existing reviews on its impact have shortcomings. To accurately assess the effects of taping, a separate meta-analyses for different population groups and tape types is needed. Therefore, both between- and within-group meta-analyses are needed to evaluate the influence of taping on ...

The aim of the study was to assess the inter-rater and intra-rater agreement of measurements performed with the Luna EMG (electromyography) multifunctional robot, a tool for evaluation of upper limb proprioception in individuals with stroke. The study was conducted in a group of patients with chronic stroke. A total of 126 patients participated in ...
