Among the many fears associated with seizures, patients with epilepsy are greatly frustrated and distressed over seizure's apparent unpredictable occurrence. However, increasing evidence have emerged over the years to support that seizure occurrence is not a random phenomenon as previously presumed; it has a cyclic rhythm that oscillates over multiple timescales. The pattern in rises and falls of seizure rate that varies over 24 hours, weeks, months, and years has become a target for the development of innovative devices that intend to detect, predict, and forecast seizures...

Skills on Wheels, a 5-week pediatric wheelchair skills training program implemented over 2 years, was developed to address confidence, social participation, and mobility for wheelchair-using children. This study tests the hypothesis that pediatric wheelchair skills training will increase wheelchair skill ability, confidence, and participation of wheelchair-using children. Individualized instruction was delivered by occupational ( N  = 50) and physical ( N  = 12) therapy practitioners and doctoral students...

Despite progress in the detection and treatment of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), major challenges remain in developing countries due to insufficient resources and infrastructure. The number of people living with HIV who do not know their serostatus has fallen worldwide. However, a number of existing obstacles stand in the way of better results. The socio-cultural context in Africa hampers knowledge and understanding of the disease, leading to stigmatizing attitudes, reluctance to undergo screening and poor access to treatment...

Postural control involves complex nonlinear dynamics influenced by the interaction and adaptation of different sensory inputs. However, it is not how these inputs interact with one another due to the complex complications associated with aging, particularly concerning the nonlinear dynamics of postural sway. This study aimed to examine how different sensory inputs, surface conditions, and aging factors to influence postural control mechanisms between young and older by investigating the nonlinear dynamics of postural control using the stabilogram diffusion analysis (SDA) and entropy methods...

BACKGROUND: Fear of falling (FOF) is a common concern among persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) and affects the performance of their daily living activities. Falls may result in FOF, leading to worsening of symptoms of MS, physical deconditioning, and exposure to future falls. This may trigger a vicious cycle between FOF and falls. A better understanding of the relationship between FOF and symptoms of MS may be helpful to develop a conceptual model to guide fall prevention interventions...

BACKGROUND: Dizziness and balance disorders are directly related to aging in humans- Dizziness is one of the most important factors causing the burden of disability after the age of 65. Bearing in mind the increase in the elderly population in Iran and the world and the prevalence of dizziness in old age, early diagnosis of dizziness and determination of the factors affecting its severity facilitate its treatment and are effective in preventing its adverse consequences. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of dizziness and its related factors among older adults in Ardakan city, Yazd province, Iran, in 2022...

BACKGROUND: Frailty in older adults leads to progressive deterioration of their physical condition and makes them prone to develop Fear of Falling (FoF). Physical-activity interventions appear to be effective in managing the components of frailty but there is no clear evidence to determine whether physical-activity may affect FoF in frail and pre-frail older adults. OBJECTIVE: Τhis systematic literature review aims to synthesize evidence on the relationship between the physical interventions to ameliorate balance, strength, and mobility and FoF reduction in frail and pre-frail older adults...

BACKGROUND: Assessment of extrapulmonary comorbidities is essential in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Deterioration of balance and increasing fear of falling are two of the most significant extrapulmonary manifestations. Although pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is well-known and effective for COPD patients, there is a need for alternative treatments to enhance balance and alleviate concerns about falling. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Body Awareness Therapy (BAT), in addition to the PR program, on balance and fear of falling in patients with COPD...

SIGNIFICANCE: This study used behavior change models to understand the perspectives of falls among patients with visual impairment who are at greater risk of falls. Resulting themes on barriers and facilitators led to the identification of a "SMART" intervention strategy that remains to be tested as a fall-reducing behavior. PURPOSE: This study explored the perspectives of adults with visual impairment on falls and proposed falls prevention strategies using behavior change models...

CLOSER is a computer-based exercise program that aims to improve older adults' health, fitness and social lives. This pilot study aimed to examine the effect of CLOSER, the first computer-based exercise program developed for older adults on a national scale, on those with a history of falls. Forty-eight older adults (71.33 ± 7.47) with a history of falling at least once in the last year were included in the study. Older adults performed CLOSER exercises for (balance maintenance, neck rotation, rhythmic walking, knee flexion and trunk rotation) 2 sessions per week for eight weeks...

BACKGROUND: Standing at height, and subsequent changes in emotional state (e.g., fear of falling), lead to robust alterations in balance in adults. However, little is known about how height-induced postural threat affects balance performance in children. Children may lack the cognitive capability necessary to inhibit the processing of threat and fear-related stimuli, and as a result, may show more marked (and perhaps detrimental) changes in postural control compared to adults. This work explored the emotional and balance responses to standing at height in children, and compared responses to young and older adults...

To manage predation risk, prey navigate a dynamic landscape of fear, or spatiotemporal variation in risk perception, reflecting predator distributions, traits, and activity cycles. Prey may seek to reduce risk across this landscape using habitat at times and in places when predators are less active. In multipredator landscapes, avoiding one predator could increase vulnerability to another, making the landscape of fear difficult to predict and navigate. Additionally, humans may shape interactions between predators and prey, and induce new sources of risk...

REVIEW
Walter Maetzler, Johanna Geritz, Lina Stagneth, Kirsten Emmert
A recently published concept considers a significant proportion of the occurrence and persistence of functional movement disorders (FMD) to be explained by increased/incorrect weighting of the expected movement (feedforward signal) in the presence of decreased/altered actual feedback of the movement. In the context of aging and age-associated diseases, there is an increased likelihood that these prerequisites will occur, also in combination. For example, the feedforward signal can be enhanced by accumulation of a wealth of experience but can for example become prone to error due to changes in attention and (fear of) falling...
