Article Abstract
Objective: Common peroneal (fibular) neuropathy is the most common mononeuropathy of the lower extremity. Despite this, there are surprisingly few studies on the topic, and a knowledge gap remains in the literature. As one attempts to address this knowledge gap, a core outcome set (COS) is needed to guide the planning phases of future studies to allow synthesis and comparability of these studies. The objective of this study was to develop the COS-common peroneal neuropathy (CoPe) using a modified Delphi approach.
Methods: A 5-stage approach was used to develop the COS-CoPe: 1) stage 1, consortium development; 2) stage 2, a literature review to identify potential outcome measures; 3) stage 3, a Delphi survey to develop consensus on outcomes for inclusion; 4) stage 4, a Delphi survey to develop definitions; and 5) stage 5, a consensus meeting to finalize COS and definitions. The study followed the COS-STAndards for Development (COS-STAD) recommendations.
Results: The Core Outcomes in Nerve Surgery (COINS) Consortium comprised 23 participants, all neurological surgeons, representing 13 countries. The final COS-CoPe consisted of 31 data points/outcomes covering domains of demographics, diagnostics, patient-reported outcomes, motor/sensory outcomes, and complications. Appropriate instruments, methods of testing, and definitions were set. The consensus minimum duration of follow-up was 12 months. The consensus optimal time points for assessment were preoperatively and 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively.
Conclusions: The COINS Consortium developed a consensus COS and provided definitions, methods of implementation, and time points for assessment. The COS-CoPe should serve as a minimum set of data that should be collected in all future neurosurgical studies on common peroneal neuropathy. Incorporation of this COS should help improve consistency in reporting, data synthesis, and comparability, and should minimize outcome reporting bias.

Introduction: Difficulty with walking can lead to reduced quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease (pwPD); improving walking is considered a treatment priority. Drug therapies can control PD symptoms; however, pwPD often still experience mobility problems.Functional electrical stimulation (FES) induces movement in weak muscles via external electrical stimulation.

During drop landings, shortly after ground contact, spinal excitability is decreased. This decrease, as measured by soleus H-reflex, has been presumed, but not proven, to originate from presynaptic inhibition, facilitated by the descending drive from supraspinal centers. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine presynaptic inhibition during the flight and landing phases of drop landings.

Peroneal nerve injury is a common neuropathy that affects the lower extremities. It results in loss of dorsiflexion at the tibiotalar joint and eversion at the subtalar joint, ultimately leading to foot drop. Various etiological factors contribute to this pathology.

Background: Post-stroke limb spasticity (PSLS) is a rehabilitation problem that needs to be solved urgently, electroacupuncture (EA), a safe and effective adjunctive rehabilitation therapy with relatively few side effects, and botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) can improve motor function; however, it is not clear whether EA combined with BTX-A is more effective in improving PSLS. This study will investigate the effects and mechanisms of EA combined with BTX-A to improve PSLS in rats.
Methods: PSLS rat model was prepared and treated with EA, BTX-A, or EA+BTX-A, Zea longa, modified Ashworth, and modified neurological severity score to assess the changes of neurological function and dystonia, and to observe the cerebral infarction condition, fibers changes of gastrocnemius muscle, common peroneal nerve pathology morphology, changes of neural repair factors and GDNF/BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway in the rats, respectively.
Effects of balance device training on ankle function and postural control ability in patients with functional ankle instability.

Background: Functional ankle instability (FAI) is a common chronic disease after ankle sprains, and exercise intervention can improve symptoms of instability. This research aims to assess the effect of two new ankle balance device training programs on the ankle function and postural control ability in individuals with functional ankle instability.
Methods: A total of sixty-eight participants with FAI were randomly assigned to three groups: the spherical ankle balance device (SABD) group, the ensiform ankle balance device (EABD) group and the control group.
