Article Abstract
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Objective: Concurrent substance-use, including alcohol and drugs, increases the risks of many recreational activities. Our purpose was to determine the relationship between substance use and craniofacial injuries in a large population of patients experiencing trauma due to recreational motorized vehicle use.
Methods: We report a cross-sectional study of patients reported to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, in the United States. Patients were included in our study if they were evaluated in the emergency department (ED) for a recreational motorized vehicle-related injury. Primary outcome was craniofacial injury.
Results: There were a total of 6,485 adult patients who experience an injury after recreational motorized vehicle trauma reported by NEISS-participating EDs during the study period. Of this, 1,416 (21.8%) patients had a craniofacial injury, and 201 patients with craniofacial injuries were under the influence of alcohol/drugs (201/1,416; 14.2%). Injured patients under the influence of alcohol/drugs experienced greater odds of sustaining a general craniofacial injury (OR 2.50, 95% CI: 2.07-3.01, < .0001), including craniofacial fracture (OR: 2.98, 95% CI: 2.01-4.40, < .0001), laceration (OR: 2.19, 95% CI: 1.51-3.16, < .00001) and internal injury (OR: 2.33, 95% CI: 1.84-2.95, < .00001) than injured patients not under the influence.
Conclusions: Using recreational motorized vehicles under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not safe and increases the likelihood of craniofacial injuries, including fractures, lacerations, and internal injuries. As operating these recreational motorized vehicles under the influence is illegal, the law should be strictly enforced to prevent the occurrence of these injuries. Additional undertakings to increase helmet usage would be valuable.

Impact of forward and backward walking on gait parameters across parkinson's disease stages and severity: a prospective observational study.
BMC Neurol
September 2025
Department of Neurology, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Kiel, Germany.
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by motor symptoms altering gait domains such as slow walking speed, reduced step and stride length, and increased double support time. Gait disturbances occur in the early, mild to moderate, and advanced stages of the disease in both backward walking (BW) and forward walking (FW), but are more pronounced in BW. At this point, however, no information is available about BW performance and disease stages specified using the Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) scale.

The ability to detect small errors between sensory prediction in the brain and actual sensory feedback is important in rehabilitation after brain injury, where motor function needs to be restored. To date in the recent study, a delayed visual error detection task during upper limb movement was used to measure this ability for healthy participants or patients. However, this ability during walking, which is the most sought-after in brain-injured patients, was unclear.

Background: The "Systematic Screening of Handwriting Difficulties in Parkinson's Disease" (SOS) test is the only tool specifically designed to evaluate handwriting in people with Parkinson's Disease (pwPD). It is language specific.
Objective: To assess the construct validity, intrarater and interrater reliability of the Italian version of the SOS test.
Assessing fundamental motor skills proficiency in school-based sports physical education programs: implications for talent development.

Introduction: Fundamental motor skills (FMS) are essential for fostering physical literacy, supporting talent development, and promoting public health in school-aged populations. This study aimed to evaluate FMS proficiency among students in school-based sports physical education (PE) programs, which offer sport-specific training, and compare it to students in traditional PE programs. A secondary aim was to examine whether these programs promote early specialization or early diversification in youth sport development.

Introduction: To evaluate the efficacy of CHIN-SKIP sports game intervention in enhancing motor ability among preschool children aged 5-6 years.
Methods: From September to December 2024, a total of 60 preschool children (aged 5-6 years) were randomly selected from two large classes at DM kindergarten and equally allocated to either the experimental group ( = 30) or control group ( = 30), with balanced gender distribution between groups. The experimental group received the CHIN-SKIP sports game intervention, while the control group participated in standard kindergarten physical activities.
