Transcranial direct current stimulation combined with upper limb functional training in children with spastic, hemiparetic cerebral palsy: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Advanced technology for gait rehabilitation --- An overview
Most gait training systems are designed for acute and subacute neurological inpatients. Many systems are used for
relearning gait movements (nonfunctional training) or gait cycle training (functional gait training). Each system presents
its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of functional outcomes. However, training gait cycle movements is not
sufficient for the rehabilitation of ambulation. There is a need for new solutions to overcome the limitations of existing
systems in order to ensure individually tailored training conditions for each of the potential users, no matter the complexity
of his or her condition. There is also a need for a new, integrative approach in gait rehabilitation, one that encompasses
and addresses all aspects of physical as well as psychological aspects of ambulation in real-life multitasking
situations. In this respect, a multidisciplinary multinational team performed an overview of the current technology for
gait rehabilitation and reviewed the principles of ambulation training
Signals in the Soil: An Introduction to Wireless Underground Communications
In this chapter, wireless underground (UG) communications are introduced. A detailed overview of WUC is given. A comprehensive review of research challenges in WUC is presented. The evolution of underground wireless is also discussed. Moreover, different component of UG communications is wireless. The WUC system architecture is explained with a detailed discussion of the anatomy of an underground mote. The examples of UG wireless communication systems are explored. Furthermore, the differences of UG wireless and over-the-air wireless are debated. Different types of wireless underground channel (e.g., In-Soil, Soil-to-Air, and Air-to-Soil) are reported as well

Effects of monoaminergic drugs on training-induced motor cortex plasticity in older adults
Primary motor cortex (M1) plasticity is involved in motor learning and stroke motor recovery, and enhanced by increasing monoaminergic transmission. Age impacts these processes but there is a paucity of systematic studies on the effects of monoaminergic drugs in older adults. Here, in ten older adults (age 61 + 4 years, 4 males), we determine the effects of a single oral dose of carbidopa/levodopa (DOPA), D-amphetamine (AMPH), methylphenidate (MEPH) and placebo (PLAC) on M1 excitability and motor training-induced M1 plasticity. M1 plasticity is defined as training related long lasting changes in M1 excitability and kinematics of the trained movement. At peak plasma level of the drugs, subjects trained wrist extension movements for 30 min. Outcome measures were motor evoked potentials (MEPs) elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation at increasing intensity (stimulus response curve, SRC) and peak acceleration of the trained wrist extension movements. Measures were obtained before and after completion of training. The curve parameters plateau (MEPmax), inflection point, and slope were extracted from SRC. At baseline drugs had a differential effect on curve parameters, while kinematics remained unchanged. Training alone (PLAC) increased MEPmax but did not improve kinematics. Drugs affected training-related changes of the curve parameters differently, but did not enhance them or kinematics when compared to PLAC. The results demonstrate that in the older adults, MEPH, DOPA, or AMPH have differential effects on baseline M1 excitability and training-related M1 plasticity but fail to enhance them above the naïve level
