Robotically-driven orthoses (RDO) are promising for treating gait impairment in children with hemiplegia after acquired brain injury (ABI). Despite this, existing literature on the employment of RDO in ABI is scanty, and cohorts' age spans throughout...
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) can result in symptoms that affect a person's cognitive and social abilities. Improvements in diagnostic methodologies are necessary given that current clinical techniques have limited accuracy and are solely based ...
BACKGROUND: Although elevated serum levels of visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP-1), a neuron-specific calcium sensor protein, are associated with ischaemic stroke, only a single study has evaluated VILIP-1 as a biomarker of traumatic brain injury (TBI). ...
