This study examined prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity during #gait in adults with persisting #concussion symptoms. PFC activity was higher in those with concussion, & higher PFC activity was related to greater symptom severity and some gait characteristics. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

Kick off for Parkinson's UK research dissemination event Northumbria Uni expertly organised by Julia Das & Gill Barry #PPI #digitalhealth

🚨 2 weeks left to apply PhD opportunity Northumbria Uni measuring gait and falls in #Parkinsons in collaboration with Danu Come work with myself, Rosie Morris Sam Stuart Alan Godfrey findaphd.com/phds/project/o…

🚨 Fully-funded PhD opportunity 🚨 Excited to announce a PhD position under my supervision, exploring home-based leg isometric exercise and lifestyle changes for managing hypertension! Apply now!

Researchers used fNIRS to record relative prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity in people w/ #Parkinsons disease while walking. Their results suggest a reduction in PFC activity while walking may indicate less impaired, more automatic control of walking. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… #gait

Results from this study on hemodynamics in pre-frontal cortex regions in people with #MultipleSclerosis (MS) during regular & dual-task gait suggest people with MS may have reduced gait automaticity and limited cognitive resources to respond to dual tasks. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

Oito sessões de estimulação elétrica transcraniana melhoram a resposta postural de pessoas com Parkinson. Estudo conduzido na Unesp indica que a técnica não invasiva promove benefício duradouro, reduzindo o risco de queda | agencia.fapesp.br/53889
