To investigate effects of symmetric and asymmetric stance and pushing movement on anticipatory and compensatory postural adjustments (APAs and CPAs). ⋯ The outcome of the study provides a basis for studying postural control in individuals with unilateral impairment while performing daily tasks involving pushing.

A preictal state exists minutes or hours prior to the clinical seizure. We investigated whether hemodynamic changes preceding temporal lobe seizures were detectable in frontal scalp recordings using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Patients undergoing video-EEG telemetry (VET) were studied. ⋯ NIRS has the potential for providing a noninvasively detected signal of an imminent seizure.

This article explores the feasibility of a novel repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rnTMS) system and compares language mapping results obtained by rnTMS in healthy volunteers and brain tumor patients. ⋯ rnTMS is a novel technology for exploring cortical language representation. This study proves the feasibility and safety of rnTMS in patients with brain tumor.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The alteration of spontaneous low frequency oscillations caused by acute electromagnetic fields exposure.
The motivation of this study is to evaluate the possible alteration of regional resting state brain activity induced by the acute radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure (30min) of Long Term Evolution (LTE) signal. ⋯ With resting state fMRI, we found the alteration of spontaneous low frequency fluctuations induced by the acute LTE RF-EMF exposure.

To compare the gait pattern in patients affected by different types of neuropathy. ⋯ The analysis of balance and gait in patients with neuropathy can offer a tool for understanding the nature and functional impact of the neuropathy and should be included in their functional evaluation.
