Are Virtual Reality Interventions Effective in Improving Outcomes in People with Multiple Sclerosis? A Cochrane Review Summary with Commentary.

NeuroRehabilitation

September 2025

Department of Rehabilitation and Australian Rehabilitation Research Centre, Royal Melbourne Hospital, Parkville, Victoria, Australia.

BackgroundA wide range of virtual reality (VR) applications are currently used in rehabilitation to support people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) in improving limb function, balance, postural control, gait training, and cognitive abilities. Despite its widespread use, there is a lack of systematic evaluation for the effectiveness of VR in the rehabilitation.ObjectiveCommentary on the systematic review by De Keersmaecker et al.

Biomechanical studies have reported that patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) exhibit altered walking patterns compared to control patients. The underlying mechanisms for these observed kinematic differences in FAIS patients are believed to be maladaptive and multifactorial in nature. While the advancement of arthroscopic hip techniques, surgical indications, and long-term postoperative outcomes for FAIS continue to rapidly evolve, the influence of surgical intervention on restoration of abnormal gait patterns in FAIS patients remains understudied.

What are the Effects of Ankle-Foot Orthoses on Walking in Adults with Calf Muscle Weakness Due to Neuromuscular Disorders? - A Cochrane Review Summary with Commentary.

NeuroRehabilitation

August 2025

Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey.

BackgroundCalf muscle weakness due to neuromuscular disorders significantly impairs walking efficiency, increases energy expenditure, and limits mobility. Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are commonly prescribed to improve gait biomechanics and functional mobility, but their effectiveness remains uncertain.ObjectiveTo assess the effects of AFOs on walking performance in adults with calf muscle weakness caused by slowly progressive neuromuscular disorders.

Transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation method that uses, high-intensity acoustic shockwaves to deliver focused mechanical stimulation to neural tissue with minimal thermal effects. The mechanism of action includes but is not limited to promotion of blood flow and angiogenesis through mechanotransduction. Clinical data to date are limited and preliminary.
