Social support may not impact physical function outcomes following a tango or walking intervention in people with Parkinson's disease: an exploratory analysis of a randomized controlled trial.

Poor physical function influences social support among people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Physical function can be improved through exercise, but whether social support influences intervention responsiveness is unclear. This study aimed to (1) examine the influence of 12 weeks of group exercise (tango or walking) on physical function in people with PD who reported low versus high baseline social support, and (2) determine the influence of intervention type on social support effects.

Risk Factors for Fall-Related Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries Among Older Adults: A Systematic Review Highlighting Research Gaps.

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is commonly undiagnosed, delaying treatment and recovery. Approximately 80% of mTBIs in older adults stem from falls, yet the predictive factors remain unclear. This systematic review aimed to examine the risk factors for fall-related mTBIs among older adults.

Assessing the Inter-Rater and Inter-Trial Reliability of the NeurOptics Pupillary Light Response-3000 Pupillometer.

Background: An automated pupillometer is a handheld device used to stimulate the pupillary light response (PLR) and track the entirety of the response from constriction to dilation. Pupillometers provide objective data that clinicians can use to identify and assess brain injury. The validity of these devices has been previously established; however, the inter-rater and inter-trial reliability are unknown.
