Exploring sensory alterations and repetitive behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder from the perspective of artificial neural networks.

Research in developmental disabilities
BACKGROUND: Restrictive repetitive behaviors (RRBs) and sensory processing disorders are core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Their relationship is reported, but existing data are conflicting as to whether they are related but distinct, o...

Rehabilitation of older people with Parkinson's disease: an innovative protocol for RCT study to evaluate the potential of robotic-based technologies.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease is one of the most frequent causes of disability among the older adults. It is a chronic-progressive neuro-degenerative disease, characterized by several motor disorders. Balance disorders are a symptom that involves t...

Fall Risk Prediction in Multiple Sclerosis Using Postural Sway Measures: A Machine Learning Approach.

Scientific reports
Numerous postural sway metrics have been shown to be sensitive to balance impairment and fall risk in individuals with MS. Yet, there are no guidelines concerning the most appropriate postural sway metrics to monitor impairment. This investigation im...

Diffusion tensor tractography in children with sensory processing disorder: Potentials for devising machine learning classifiers.

NeuroImage. Clinical
The "sensory processing disorder" (SPD) refers to brain's inability to organize sensory input for appropriate use. In this study, we determined the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) microstructural and connectivity correlates of SPD, and apply machine l...

Reliability, validity, and clinical feasibility of a rapid and objective assessment of post-stroke deficits in hand proprioception.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Proprioceptive function can be affected after neurological injuries such as stroke. Severe and persistent proprioceptive impairments may be associated with a poor functional recovery after stroke. To better understand their role in the re...

Management and modeling of balance disorders using decision support systems: the EMBALANCE project.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
In this work, we present the concept, the methodological ideas and the architecture of the EMBALANCE platform. EMBALANCE platform extends existing but generic and currently uncoupled balance modeling activities, leading to a multi-scale and patient-s...
