Physical and cognitive rehabilitation is deemed crucial to attenuate symptoms improve the quality of life in people with neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s Disease. Among strategies, a novel popular approach relies on exergaming: patient performs motor or task within an interactive videogame virtual environment. These strategies may widely benefit from being tailored patient’s needs engagement patterns. In this pilot study, we investigated ability low-cost BCI based single-channel EEG measure user’s during exergame. As first step, healthy subjects were recruited assess system’s capability distinguish between (1) rest gaming conditions (2) at different complexity levels, through Machine Learning supervised models. Both eye-blink features employed. The results indicate exergame stimulate classification models resting stage game-play (accuracy > 95%). Finally, clusters subject responses throughout game identified, which could help define trends. This result starting point developing effectively subject-tailored exergaming system.

IntroductionAxial disability, including gait disturbances, is common in Parkinson's disease (PD), especially advanced stages. Epidural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been investigated as a treatment option for disorders PD. Here, we review the literature on SCS PD and evaluate its efficacy, optimal parameters, electrode locations, possible effects of concurrent deep brain stimulation, working mechanisms gait.MethodsDatabases were searched human studies involving patients who received an epidural intervention had at least one gait-related outcome measure. The included reports reviewed with respect to design outcomes. Additionally, action underlying reviewed.ResultsOut 433 records identified, 25 unique total 103 participants included. Most only few participants. most pain complaints, mostly low back pain, improved almost all cases, regardless parameters or location. Higher-frequency (>200 Hz) seemed be more effective pain-free patients, but results inconsistent. Heterogeneity measures follow-up times hindered comparability.ConclusionsSCS may improve neuropathic efficacy remains uncertain due lack thorough double-blind studies. Apart from well-powered, controlled, study design, future could further explore initial hints that higher-frequency might best approach outcomes patients.

Abstract: Gait dysfunction is a key defining feature of Parkinson's disease (PD), and associated with symptoms freezing an increased risk falls. In this narrative review, we cover the putative mechanisms gait in PD, assessment abnormalities, management caused by inherent difficulty walking. Our understanding causes problems PD has progressed recent times, moving from neurocognitive theory to correlates affected neuronal pathways. particular, can be shown correspond abnormalities responses dual-task paradigms cholinergic signaling. Great progress been made sophistication precision assessment; however, it firmly remained research domain. There significant momentum behind wearable technologies that used patients their own environment, acting as digital biomarkers not only reflect progression but also independently discriminate non-PD individuals. The treatment historically relied on physical therapies training combined view mitigating impact such consequences Pharmacological are mainstay have tended address like bradykinesia; optimization dopaminergic likely positive effect quality gait. Other targets assessed goal improving gait, which medications improve signaling appear most promising. Neuromodulation techniques increasingly form deep-brain stimulation; standard targets, globus pallidus interna, modest Considerable benefit seen through targeting pedunculopontine nucleus, dual-target approach may warranted. Stimulation spinal cord brain direct or magnetic approaches assessed, requires further evidence. Keywords: falls, assessment, neurodegeneration, neuropathology
