Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The objective of this study was to investigate eight week training effects, followed by eight weeks of washout effects with a newly developed medical device (the SurroGait Rx [Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc., Calgary, Canada]) on physical and psychological impacts of multiple sclerosis (MS), gait, and balance parameters in individuals with MS. Seven individuals with MS completed the 16-week protocol, which included baseline, post-training (8 weeks) and post-washout (16 weeks) sessions. During each session, impact of MS on the patient (MSIS-29), gait (T25FW, stride variables), and balance (postural sway trajectory) parameters were assessed. Results showed significant improvements in the MSIS-29 scores after training, no effect on gait variables, and longer postural sway trajectories with the device on versus off. There were no significant training effects in the balance tasks. Future studies are warranted using individuals with more advanced cases of MS to more fully understand the potential benefits of the SurroGait Rx.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
