INTRODUCTION: Adductor-type spasmodic dysphonia is a task-specific focal dystonia characterized by involuntary laryngeal muscle spasms. Due to the lack of quantitative instrumental tools, voice assessment in patients with adductor-type spasmodic dysp...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate combined effects of robot-assisted training (RAT) and physical therapy versus physical therapy only on balance and gait function of chronic stroke patients after botulinum toxin-A (BoNT-A) treatment.
Abnormality of sensorimotor integration in the basal ganglia and cortex has been reported in the literature for patients with task-specific focal hand dystonia (FHD). In this study, we investigate the effect of manipulation of kinesthetic input in pe...

BACKGROUND: Despite the growing evidence about the use of robotic gait training in neurorehabilitation, there is a scant literature about the combined effects of this innovative technological approach and a first‑line treatment for focal spasticity a...
INTRODUCTION: Botulinum toxin injection (BTI) has been advocated as a second line therapy in management of neuropathic bladder in pediatric population for refractory patients to conventional medical management such as anticholinergics. The purpose wa...

BACKGROUND: Spasticity has a role of primary importance in functional motor recovery of upper limb after a stroke. The widespread intervention is the botulinum toxin neurolysis, however robotic training could have a role as useful addition to this co...
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of three artificial intelligence (AI) models-ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot-in addressing clinically relevant questions about onabotulinum toxin and sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for the management o...
BACKGROUND: Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the way physicians access and leverage artificial intelligence (AI). The potential role of AI in facilitating aesthetic medical education remains to be established.
BACKGROUND: Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injections are widely administered for facial rejuvenation, but their effects on facial expressions remain unclear.
