Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive motor and non-motor symptoms that substantially impair an individual's activities of daily living (ADLs) and quality of life (QoL). Rehabilitation plays an essential role in the management of PD early to advanced disease stages.1 Exercise and rehabilitation are widely recognized as effective non-pharmacological strategies for maintaining and improving the QoL of people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD).

After a stroke, impairments in sitting balance and trunk control are highly prevalent, affecting up to 96.4% patients, especially in the acute phase.1 The trunk provides spinal support and is central to postural stability, controlling center-of-gravity shifts during static and dynamic activities2. Proprioceptive deficits3, multiplanar muscle weakness4-8, and abnormal muscle activation patterns9 manifest as impaired trunk function. These impairments compromise static and dynamic sitting balance along with upper–lower trunk coordination10, as assessed by the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), which are closely linked to reduced limb function11, speech difficulties, and swallowing disorders.

The primary aim of this study was to explore factors that may influence the rate of mobility function decline. A secondary aim was to identify the impact of neck weakness on mobility decline in people living with motor neuron disease (MND).

Stroke is a significant cause of disability in many countries, and lower extremity (LE) motor paresis is one of the most common symptoms 1. LE motor paresis has been shown to predict walking independence at discharge in patients with subacute stroke (e.g., Functional Ambulation Category [FAC] ≥ 4) 2. Because walking is a key component of mobility-related activities of daily living (ADL), LE motor impairment is relevant to mobility-related independence as assessed by the mobility and locomotion subscales of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) (e.g., transfers and walking-related items) 3.

To examine the post-injury utilization and cost of Veterans Affairs (VA) outpatient care in a cohort of Service Members and Veterans (SMVs) treated in VA Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers (PRCs) for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

The growing volume of stroke rehabilitation trials underscores the need to ensure that outcome measures are aligned with patient priorities to maximize clinical relevance and minimize research waste. The objective of this review was to examine the extent to which primary outcomes used in randomized and quasi-randomized trials of post-stroke walking rehabilitation capture community mobility and participation-level constructs.This review evaluated primary outcome selection in randomized and quasi-randomized trials of walking rehabilitation after stroke.
