The Implementation of a Personalized Dynamic Approach for the Management of Prolonged Concussion Symptoms.

Purpose This clinical focus article reviews the existing treatment literature on the management of prolonged concussion symptoms (PCS) for specifying treatment components that hold the most promise for effectively targeting functional goals that are disrupted due to cognitive impairments. Current evidence suggests the treatment ingredients of psychoeducation and cognitive strategy instruction can be effective for addressing changes in functioning due to perceived cognitive deficits in attention, working memory, and executive functioning. Based on the literature, we propose a personalized, dyna

Is accurate self-monitoring necessary for people with acquired neurological problems to benefit from the use of differential reinforcement methods?

Challenging behaviour exhibited by people with acquired neurological problems must be managed if their maximum rehabilitation potential is to be achieved. Differential reinforcement of low rates of responding (DRL) appears to be an effective method for this. The effectiveness of DRL in the presence of severe cognitive deficits, including disorders of attention and memory, is nevertheless surprising. Indeed, such difficulties may prevent individuals with brain injury benefiting from operant conditioning procedures because of impairment of the central executive component of working memory. Conse

Effects of robotic treadmill training on functional mobility, walking capacity, motor symptoms and quality of life in ambulatory patients with Parkinson's disease: a preliminary prospective longitudinal study.

BACKGROUND: Decreased mobility and walking capacity occur frequently in Parkinson's disease (PD). Robotic treadmill training is a novel method to improve the walking capacity in rehabilitation. OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of robotic treadmill training on functional mobility and walking capacity in PD. Secondly, we aimed to assess the effects of the robotic treadmill training the motor symptoms and quality of life in patients with PD. METHODS: Seventy patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease who admitted to the outpatient clinic of the rehabili

Attention network modulation via tRNS correlates with attention gain.

Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) can enhance vision in the healthy and diseased brain. Yet, the impact of multi-day tRNS on large-scale cortical networks is still unknown. We investigated the impact of tRNS coupled with behavioral training on resting-state functional connectivity and attention. We trained human subjects for 4 consecutive days on two attention tasks, while receiving tRNS over the intraparietal sulci, the middle temporal areas, or Sham stimulation. We measured resting-state functional connectivity of nodes of the dorsal and ventral attention network (DVAN) before and

Could Neurotracker be used as a clinical marker of recovery following pediatric mild traumatic brain injury? An exploratory study.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the potential for the Neurotracker, a perceptual-cognitive, multiple-object tracking test, and train paradigm, as a marker of functional recovery after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). It is hypothesized that Neurotracker could serve as a proxy for assessing cerebral functioning. RESEARCH DESIGN: A comparative, 6 time points, longitudinal study design was used to compare Neurotracker performance between children and adolescents who were clinically recovered from mTBI and healthy controls. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Clinical measures were collect

A Multi-Session Attribution Modification Program for Children with Aggressive Behaviour: Changes in Attributions, Emotional Reaction Estimates, and Self-Reported Aggression.

BACKGROUND: Research suggests that aggressive children are prone to over-attribute hostile intentions to peers. AIMS: The current study investigated whether this attributional style can be altered using a Cognitive Bias Modification of Interpretations (CBM-I) procedure. METHOD: A sample of 10-12-year-olds selected for displaying aggressive behaviours was trained over three sessions to endorse benign rather than hostile attributions in response to ambiguous social scenarios. RESULTS: Compared to a test-retest control group (n = 18), children receiving CBM-I (n = 16) were less likely to endor

Executive functions in the heterozygous reeler mouse model of schizophrenia.

Deficits in working memory and executive functions are now considered among the most reliable endophenotypes for schizophrenia. To determine whether cognitive deficits exist in mouse models of the disease, the authors trained heterozygous reeler (+/rl) mice on a series of visual discriminations similar to those used to test executive abilities in primates. These mice resemble schizophrenia patients in that both have reduced levels of reelin protein and altered gamma aminobutyric acid neurotransmission in the prefrontal cortex. The +/rl mice showed a selective deficit in reversal learning, with

Computer Simulation and Digital Resources for Plastic Surgery Psychomotor Education.

Contemporary plastic surgery residents are increasingly challenged to learn a greater number of complex surgical techniques within a limited period. Surgical simulation and digital education resources have the potential to address some limitations of the traditional training model, and have been shown to accelerate knowledge and skills acquisition. Although animal, cadaver, and bench models are widely used for skills and procedure-specific training, digital simulation has not been fully embraced within plastic surgery. Digital educational resources may play a future role in a multistage strate

Cardiopulmonary function after robotic exoskeleton-assisted over-ground walking training of a patient with an incomplete spinal cord injury: Case report.

RATIONALE: Spinal cord injury (SCI) patients who experience difficulties with independent walking use gait-assistive devices such as a cane, walker, or wheelchair. Few studies have explored gait patterns or cardiopulmonary function in chronic SCI patients after powered exoskeleton training. We investigated whether the cardiopulmonary function of a patient with an incomplete chronic cervical SCI and a hemiplegic gait pattern could be improved by walking training using a powered exoskeleton (Angelegs). PATIENT CONCERNS: A 57-year-old male was diagnosed with an SCI at C3-C4. The right upper and

Beta-band oscillations during passive listening to metronome sounds reflect improved timing representation after short-term musical training in healthy older adults.

Sub-second time intervals in musical rhythms provide predictive cues about future events to performers and listeners through an internalized representation of timing. While the acuity of automatic, sub-second timing as well as cognitively controlled, supra-second timing declines with ageing, musical experts are less affected. This study investigated the influence of piano training on temporal processing abilities in older adults using behavioural and neuronal correlates. We hypothesized that neuroplastic changes in beta networks, caused by training in sensorimotor coordination with timing proc
