The challenge of epilepsy research is to develop novel treatments for patients where classical therapy is inadequate. Using a new protocol—with the help of an implantable drug delivery system—we are able to control seizures in anesthetized mice by the electrophoretic delivery of GABA into the epileptic focus.

This study compared the biomechanical characteristics of the lower extremity during unplanned gait termination under different walking speeds. The lower-limb kinematic and kinetic data from fifteen subjects with normal and fast walking speeds were collected using a motion analysis system and plantar pressure platform.
