[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to compare the sensory thresholds of healthy subjects using pre-programmed or single-frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. [Subjects] Ninety healthy adult subjects were randomly assigned to pre-programmed or single-frequency stimulation groups, each consisting of 45 participants. [Methods] Sensory thresholds were measured in the pa...

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most prevalent adult muscular dystrophy, often accompanied by impairments in attention, memory, visuospatial and executive functions. Given that DM1 is a multi-system disorder, it requires a multi-disciplinary approach, including effective rehabilitation programs, focusing on the central nervous system neuroplasticity, in order to develop patient-tailored ...

We live in a multisensory world. Our experiences are constructed by the stimulation of all our senses. Nevertheless, digital interactions mainly based on audiovisual elements, while other sensory stimuli have been less explored. Virtual reality (VR) is sensory-enabling technology that facilitates integration inputs to enhance experiences. This study analyzes how addition ambient scent VR experi...

Neighboring cortical excitatory neurons show considerable heterogeneity in their responses to sensory stimulation. We hypothesized that a subset of layer 2 excitatory neurons in the juvenile (P18 to 27) mouse whisker somatosensory cortex, distinguished by expression of the activity-dependent fosGFP reporter gene, would be preferentially activated by whisker stimulation. In fact, two-photon targ...

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a complication of Diabetes Mellitus and the most common noncommunicable disease. It involves decreases in sensations Lower extremity strength leading to reduce dynamic stability balance postural control. The purpose study review effects sensory stimulation interventions on Balance Postural control neuropathy. A systematic was conducted following centers for Gog...

BACKGROUND Several lines of evidence suggest that early sensory stimulation and regular family visiting programs are potential nursing interventions to improve the outcomes of head injured comatose patients. However, little is known about the impacts of family involvement in providing sensory stimulation. OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of a sensory stimulation program conducted by nurses...

Seemingly effortless, we adjust our movements to continuously changing environments. After initiation of a goal-directed movement, the motor command is under constant control of sensory feedback loops. The main sensory signals contributing to movement control are vision and proprioception. Recent neuroimaging studies have focused mainly on identifying the parts of the posterior parietal cortex ...
