Multimodal Visual, Auditory, Thermal, and Tactile Feedback During Brain-Machine...
Pais-Vieira, Carla; Gaspar, Pedro; Matos, Demétrio; Gago, Miguel; Azevedo, Maria João; Poleri, Tânia; Perrotta, André; PaisVieira, MiguelBackground: Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have the potential to replace and expand body functions, but also to induce neuroplasticity. In BMIs that include virtual reality and tactile feedback, it is thought that the underlying mechanism may be partially dependent on immersiveness (i.e., how “realistic” the environment is). It is not known however, if continuously increasing the number of simulation modalitie...
Embodiment comfort levels during motor imagery training combined with immersive...
Pais-Vieira, Carla; Gaspar, Pedro; Matos, Demétrio; Alves, Leonor Palminha; Cruz, Bárbara Moreira da; Azevedo, Maria João; Gago, Miguel; Poleri, TâniaBrain–machine interfaces combining visual, auditory, and tactile feedback have been previously used to generate embodiment experiences during spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation. It is not known if adding temperature to these modalities can result in discomfort with embodiment experiences. Here, comfort levels with the embodiment experiences were investigated in an intervention that required a chronic pain ...
Automatic resting tremor assessment in Parkinson’s disease using smartwatches a...
Sigcha, Luis; Pavón, Ignacio; Costa, Nélson; Costa, Susana; Gago, Miguel; Arezes, P.; López, Juan Manuel; De Arcas, GuillermoResting tremor in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most distinctive motor symptoms. Appropriate symptom monitoring can help to improve management and medical treatments and improve the patients’ quality of life. Currently, tremor is evaluated by physical examinations during clinical appointments; however, this method could be subjective and does not represent the full spectrum of the symptom in the patien...

Monteiro, Ana; Velon, Ana Graça; Rodrigues, Ana Margarida; Oliveira, Ana; Valadas, Anabela; Nóbrega, Camila; Cruto, Catarina; Neutel, DulceLewy body dementia is a common cause of dementia leading to the progressive deterioration of cognitive function and motor skills, behavioral changes, and loss of autonomy, impairing the quality of life of patients and their families. Even though it is the second leading cause of neurodegenerative dementia, diagnosis is still challenging, due to its heterogenous clinical presentation, especially in the early sta...

Monteiro, Ana; Velon, Ana Graça; Rodrigues, Ana Margarida; Oliveira, Ana; Valadas, Anabela; Nóbrega, Camila; Cruto, Catarina; Neutel, DulceA demência com corpos de Lewy é uma causa comum de demência, provocando a perda progressiva de funções cognitivas e capacidades motoras, alterações comportamentais, e perda de autonomia, com compromisso da qualidade de vida dos doentes e seus familiares. Apesar de ser a segunda causa mais frequente de demência neurodegenerativa, o diagnóstico mantém-se um desafio, devido à sua apresentação clínica heterogénea, ...

Objective graphical clustering of spatiotemporal gait pattern in patients with ...
Ferreira, Flora José Rocha; Gago, Miguel; Mollaei, Nafiseh; Bicho, Estela; Sousa, Nuno; Gama, João; Ferreira, CarlosThe goal of this study was grouping patients with parkinsonism that share similar gait characteristics based on principal component analysis (PCA). Spatiotemporal gait data during self-selected walking were obtained from 15 patients with Vascular Parkinsonism, 15 patients with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease and 15 Controls. PCA was used to reduce the dimensionality of 12 gait characteristics for the 45 subjects...

Fernandes, Carlos; Fonseca, Luis; Ferreira, Flora; Gago, Miguel; Costa, Luís; Sousa, Nuno; Ferreira, Carlos; Gama, João; Erlhagen, WolframDifferential diagnosis between Idiopathic Parkin-son's disease (IPD) and Vascular Parkinsonism (VaP) is a difficult task, especially early in the disease. There is growing evidence to support the use of gait assessment in diagnosis and management of movement disorder diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of some machine learning strategies in distinguishing IPD and VaP gait. Wearable ...
Mild Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Unravels a Novel Nonsense Mutation of the GLA...
Azevedo, Olga; Gago, Miguel; Miltenberger-Miltenyi, Gabriel; Gaspar, Paulo; Sousa, Nuno; Cunha, DamiãoWe report on the clinical, biochemical, and genetic findings of a large family with the classical phenotype of Fabry disease due to the novel nonsense mutation c.607G>T (p.E203X) of the GLA gene, which occurs in the active site of the α-galactosidase A enzyme. This report highlights that (i) Fabry disease diagnosis should be considered in all cases of unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), even in its ...
