This paper reports the results of a survey carried out to assess the clinical usage currently being made of gait analysis facilities within the UK. Thirty-five centres were circulated with a questionnaire which requested information under four main headings: (i) equipment, (ii) research projects, (iii) clinical service commitments, and (iv) subjective views of the ultimate clinical value of the service. Of the 25 completed questionnaires returned, 16 were suitable for inclusion in the final analysis of data. The survey provided useful data on the equipment and facilities available in each centre together with details of the service available to prospective referring clinicians. Ten centres were considered as being currently involved in some clinical work, with six of these being routinely involved. The respondents generally felt that gait analysis techniques have a clinical context, if not yet routinely, but the numbers of referrals to the centres is still quite small. A number of areas worthy of further work were identified by the respondents. It is hoped that presentation of these results will stimulate dialogue between centres and between clinicians and bioengineers.

Abstract Background: During EAE progression, the endogenous mechanisms mediating nervous autoimmune inflammation balance, as represented by AXL, were proved to be pathologically disturbed, immune balance and axon repair. Therapeutically, by activating AXL signaling, the inflammatory rebalance from promotion to resolution has attracted increasing attention and showed advantages in autoimmune disease treatment. Previous studies implied that DHA had potential effects in treating autoimmune diseases. However, the detailed mechanisms in inflammation regulation, especially in CNS, remain unclear.Methods: C57BL/6 mice were immunized with MOG35-55 and treated daily with DHA. Then clinical scores, pathology, and ethology features of EAE were assessed through histological staining (H&E, LFB staining), TEM and gait analysis. Moreover, DHA-responsive cells and genes were screened by 10x Genomics. The immunological responses to DHA were measured by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscope in BV2 cells. The concentrations and bio-activities of chemokines were respectively evaluated through ELISA and trans-well assay. Results: After DHA treatment, the clinical scores and body weight were significantly improved. Histologically, mice showed slighter spinal cord lesion, less inflammatory cuffs. By using gait analysis, DHA obviously improved physical coordination. 10x Genomics demonstrated that DHA selectively upregulated AXL expression in microglia. Immunologically, by enhancing AXL signaling, the phagocytic and chemotactic potential of microglia and the Treg differentiation followed by upregulating PDL1 were significantly influenced by DHA. Conversely, specific blocking of AXL by SGI7079 was sufficient to reverse above-mentioned functions. Molecularly, DHA specifically rebalanced the overactivated inflammation through STAT1:SOCS3: AXL: IFNAR pathway. Conclusions: The present study highlighted the central role of AXL signaling in DHA mediated inflammatory transition.
