Evidence strongly suggest that a period of pure sensory stimulation can affect motor corticoids activity excitability.
In 2019 segmental muscle vibration(SMV) used to improve upper extremity functional ability post stroke and concluded that patients in both groups improved significantly after
This multi-site study aims to investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of using embodied virtual reality graded motor imagery software to treat adults with diagnosed chronic central pain conditions in two bodily regions: chronic pain in the lower back and in the upper limbs. The research
The focus of this study is to improve walking symmetry in order to optimize walking ability and reduce disability for Veterans with non-traumatic lower limb amputation (LLA). Over 80% of current LLAs are non-traumatic, resulting from complications of pathologies, such as diabetes mellitus and
Corticosteroid injections (CSI) are often used by physicians in the treatment of rotator cuff tendinopathy, a painful chronic degeneration of the tendons in the shoulder. However, the effect of CSI in comparison with placebo is disputed in the scientific literature, with most studies only showing

Abobotulinum neurotoxin type A, abo-BoNT/A, (Dysport®) is the most potent biological toxin produced from Clostridium botulinum. In 1920, Dr Hermann Sommer of the Hooper Foundation at the University of California made the first attempt to purify the botulinum toxin. His work paved the way for further
Gait disorders in Parkinson Disease (PD) are due to dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathways degeneration and represent important components of the disability.
