In this article, we provide a high-level overview of the stages in the Alzheimer's disease continuum, with a focus on preclinical Alzheimer’s disease and its importance in patient care and ...
What is it? Posturography is a non-evasive technique that quantifies an individual’s balance behavior in upright stance. As mentioned in previous articles (What is Balance?), balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor control systems, which includes the visual, somatosensory and vestibular systems. It is through their integration in real time by the central ...

A look at the Balance Error Scoring System with force/pressure platform The Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) is a well-known tool to evaluate the effects of a head injury on static postural stability, or standing still in different positions. This protocol is often used in athletes after sport-related concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) [1]. BESS was developed by researchers ...
Over the last few decades, scientists have gained a much better understanding of what happens to your brain during a concussion. It’s allowed them to understand better the devastating effects that a traumatic brain injury can have, and how to treat them properly.

It appears that high-contact sports such as hockey and football are becoming much more violent. Although both sports have made efforts to remove unnecessary hits from the game, concussions are inevitable when athletes are as strong and fast as they are today. The only reasonable solution is to improve the safety equipment the players use in hopes of protecting them from a traumatic brain ...
Raphaël ROYER, founder and director at Centre Brain-Moove, shares his experience with us : “ Having used transcutaneous vibration for a long time, I naturally turned towards the almost daily use of Vibramoov in the context of brain injury patients. The use of Vibramoov gives hope and different management possibilities for patients with neurodegenerative diseases (Multiple ...
Much of the conversation about concussions has been focused on football. The violence of the game, coupled with recent studies that have shown how prevalent chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is in retired players, has brought a lot of attention to the sport. But concussions are a problem in all sports, including baseball. The number of concussions in baseball is troublesome, and they are ...
Doylestown-based Neuropathix is running safety tests required to start clinical trials in humans. The compound may help with neuropathy, a severe type of chronic pain associated with cancer treatment.

The business environment has changed not to mention the healthcare sector where the very foundations have been tested around the world. The news have been filled with corona topics and at times the pandemic has seemed to hide other alarming issues: for example, it has been reported in the US that ...
A prematurely aged brain has suffered years of abuse from our ever-increasingly toxic environment and unhealthy lifestyles. There is extensive research that shows HBOT may have an effect in rejuvenating a patient’s brain by stimulating the production of new blood vessels. Increased oxygen in the blood flow will re-energize dormant cells in the brain and create new ones. Oxygen to ...
