Gait analysis
Gait analysis is the clinical recording and interpretation of walking measurements, using motion capture, force plates, and EMG to diagnose gait disorders and plan treatment.
Intracranial recording
Intracranial recording, also called intracranial EEG or iEEG, measures electrical activity directly from electrodes inside the skull or brain, chiefly to localize seizure onset in drug-resistant epilepsy.
Microneurography
Microneurography is an electrophysiological method recording action potentials from sensory and sympathetic nerve fibers in conscious humans, introduced by Karl-Erik Hagbarth and Åke Vallbo in Uppsala in 1966.
Shuttle walk test
The shuttle walk test is a field exercise test in which patients walk between cones at audio-paced speeds, measuring exercise capacity in chronic heart and lung disease.
Urethral pressure profilometry
Urethral pressure profilometry is a urodynamic test that records pressure along the urethra with a withdrawn catheter, assessing sphincter function in urinary incontinence and obstruction.
Urodynamics
Urodynamics (UDS): tests measuring bladder pressure and urine flow (uroflowmetry, cystometry, pressure-flow studies) to diagnose bladder outlet obstruction and detrusor underactivity; UPSTREAM trial found no routine benefit.
