To provide UBE3A for the treatment of Angelman syndrome.SOLUTION: Angelman syndrome is a genetic neurological disorder with characteristics including delayed development, intellectual disability, severe speech impairment, and problems with movement and balance. Provided herein are polynucleotides, vectors, polypeptides, cells, compositions, kits and methods to treat Angelman syndrome. Provided herein are, for example, the following: a recombinant polynucleotide encoding a Ubiquitin Protein Ligase E3A (Ube3a) polypeptide or protein or a biological equivalent thereof, the Ube3a polypeptide or protein or a biological equivalent thereof comprising one or more naturally occurring or non-naturally occurring glycosylation sites.SELECTED DRAWING: None

A balance disorder rehabilitation robot based on virtual and real scene fusion has a follow-up supporting device, a weight loss protection device and a virtual projection device. The follow-up supporting device is arranged in the center position of a bottom surface of the weight loss protection device and is used to follow the balance training gait of a patient in real time. The weight loss protection device is used to follow the position of center of gravity of the patient in a process of balance rehabilitation training in real time. The virtual projection device is arranged in front of the follow-up supporting device to present a virtual scene. The postures and the positions of the follow-up platforms are controlled to realize the physical sense reproduction of multiple motion scenes. The physical scene is organically combined with the virtual scene to ensure a diverse balance rehabilitation training environment.

This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation training chairs, specifically providing a rehabilitation training chair for stroke patients with balance disorders. It includes a rectangular column, a stabilizing component fixed to the surface of the rectangular column, and a lifting component on the inner surface of the rectangular column. The stabilizing component includes a connecting block fixed to the surface of the rectangular column; a connecting column is mounted on the inner surface of the connecting block via a rotating shaft; an annular column is fixed to the surface of the connecting column; and a T-shaped column is movably connected to the surface of the connecting column. This utility model utilizes the connecting column and rotating column within the stabilizing component. When the user slides the second protruding column, the second protruding column can separate from the second limiting hole, and the concave block can be slid to a suitable position to limit the concave block. This facilitates adjustment of the angle of the arc plate and backrest, improving user comfort. Furthermore, because the side surface of the fixation device has a T-shaped column, and the connecting column forms a rotating structure with the T-shaped column through a circular hole, it is convenient to adjust according to actual needs.

A system and method for scoring movement disorder symptoms comprises a movement measurement data acquisition system and processing comprising an algorithm trained on standardized scores. The movement measuring apparatus may comprise sensors such as accelerometers or gyroscopes or may utilize motion capture and / or machine vision technology or various other methods to measure tremor, bradykinesia, gait and balance disturbances, dyskinesia, or other movement disorders in a subject afflicted with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor or the like. The system outputs a score having an inclusive 0-4 scale that correlates to the UPDRS and MDS-UPDRS, or to a particular component of the movement disorder such as speed, amplitude or rhythm, but has greater resolution and lower variability. In some embodiments, the system is used to provide recommendations for treatment and / or to provide treatment in the form of pharmaceutical drugs and / or electric stimulus as part of a closed-loop system.

The invention provides a standing posture balance muscle control evaluation device based on partial derivative coherence. The standing posture balance muscle control evaluation device is characterized by comprising a rotating platform, a VR helmet, an EEG collecting device, an EMG collecting device, a data processing module and a user interface. The invention further provides a standing posture balance muscle control evaluation method based on partial derivative coherence. According to the method, the device is combined, multi-sensory stimulation with consistent and inconsistent sensory is provided, a standing posture balancing task is carried out under different conditions, and data are synchronously collected. Through signal preprocessing, source reconstruction and partial derivative coherence analysis, a directional function connection network between cortex and muscle is constructed. Cortex-muscle coupling is decomposed into the somatosensory information transmission capability of muscles and the control capability of cortex on the muscles, and bidirectional understanding of a neuromuscular interaction mechanism is provided. Not only are scientificity and accuracy of balance control function evaluation improved, but also powerful technical support is provided for clinical diagnosis and rehabilitation of balance disorders.
