Joint pain and stiffness are becoming increasingly common as populations age. Millions of people around the world live with painful joints caused by injuries, arthritis, or simple wear and tear over time. For many, the pain can make everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or even getting out of bed difficult. Current treatments often […] The post Gentle Sound Waves Become a New Way …

Walking is something most people do without thinking. The brain automatically coordinates movements of the legs, balance, and timing of each step. For people with Parkinson’s disease, however, walking can become one of the most difficult parts of daily life. Many patients shuffle their feet, lose balance, or suddenly freeze in place. Falls become more […] The post New Brain Device Could Help Peop…

With an aging population experiencing joint pain and inflammation at an all-time high, researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, have published new findings that suggest continuous low-intensity ultrasound may help shift the body's immune response from prolonged inflammation toward tissue repair, a discovery that could eventually con…

The University of Louisville, UofL Health and Kosair for Kids today celebrated the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the newly expanded Kosair for Kids Center for Pediatric NeuroRecovery, a transformative milestone in pediatric rehabilitation, research and care.

Post-stroke aphasia (PSA) is a common and disabling consequence of stroke, characterized by substantial heterogeneity in language impairment and recovery trajectories. In recent years, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has markedly advanced our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying PSA recovery by revealing dynamic changes in regional activation, functional connectivity, an…

Exercise in neurological rehabilitation is often prescribed to improve mobility, yet its influence extends to cognition through interacting peripheral, central, and behavioral pathways. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on how skeletal muscle activity can engage peripheral biomarkers and system-level interactions that become clinically meaningful only when translated into behaviorally re…

Among people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), pain is a common symptom, and neuromuscular fatigability is widely reported. However, the association between pain during exercise and neuromuscular fatigability remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the association between perceived pain and neuromuscular fatigability during an exercise task in PwMS. Thirty-two PwMS (age=56.4, females=15) and …

New ACSM Expert Consensus Statement provides the first evidence-based exercise guidance for children and adolescents with cancer, finding that appropriately prescribed exercise is safe and can improve strength, physical function and recovery during and after treatment.

A new study from scientists at the University of Rochester Medicine suggests that reinforcing the body's natural daily rhythms to improve sleep could help the brain recover after a stroke, pointing to a potential new strategy to improve brain waste clearance and outcomes long after the initial injury.

Objective and Hypothesis Cutaneous microvascular reactivity was investigated in chronic stroke survivors by comparing vasodilatory responses in the paretic and non-paretic legs to matched controls. It was hypothesized that vasodilatory responses would be blunted in the paretic leg of stroke survivors vs. the non-paretic leg and controls. Methods Cutaneous vascular conductance to local heating was…

IntroductionIn recent years, telerehabilitation has been increasingly used to improve access to care for children and adolescents with intellectual disability (ID). However, the available evidence is still limited and highly heterogeneous. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the impact of telerehabilitation interventions on cognitive, behavioural, and functional outcomes in this population.M…

Fewer than one in four people with stroke and fewer than one in seven people with traumatic brain injury receive inpatient rehabilitation care after being hospitalized, according to a study published on June 10, 2026, in Neurology Open Access, an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

A customized throw-back video game may offer a surprisingly futuristic path to stroke recovery.

Acupuncture shows promise for stroke recovery, promoting neuroplasticity and motor function improvements, according to findings from a randomized MRI trial.

Recovering from a stroke can be a long and difficult journey. Many survivors face months or even years of rehabilitation as they work to regain movement, balance, and independence. One of the biggest challenges is weakness or paralysis affecting one side of the body, a problem that occurs when stroke damages parts of the brain […] The post How Acupuncture Could Help Stroke Patients Move Again app…
