It is likely that in patients with very weak muscles – say, Motricity Index (MI) score < 3 – any method of strength training, including exercises performed with the distal segment free, may be of value. There is some theoretical support for the view that, in this situation, any exercise...
The most frequently used isokinetic parameters are the maximum torque and the angular position where it was recorded, the torque output at different angular velocities of movement, the torque ratio of reciprocal muscle groups and the torque output during repeated contractions. The unique features of i...
Briefly, the superficial and deep aponeuroses were identified and assumed to remain linear inside and outside the FOV (as in the ST method). Then, FL was calculated by drawing a segmented line along the visible fascicle with 5 (MLE4) or 3 points (MLE2). Next, automated linear ...
Method of accounting for missing, unused or invalid data A sensitivity analysis of missing data will be performed to en- sure the pertinence of the longitudinal data (MAR or MCAR). In order to assess the problem caused by missing longitudinal data at 6 months, estimation methods developed by ...
This method sought the minimum number of synergies such that the gVAF curve after that number of synergies became linear (i.e., remaining variations of EMG data could be considered meaningless). In this study, the linearity was confirmed using the mean squared error of linear regression (MSE)...
We used toe-"up or down"-test for conventional clinical method. RESULTS: Significant proprioceptive deficit was observed not only in paretic knees of both right and left hemiplegic patients (p<0.05) but also in nonparetic knee in right hemiplegic patients (p<0.05). Both interrater and intra...

The method was then used to characterize local specific interfacial area in a bubble column under several operating conditions with coalescing and non-coalescing media. In coalescing media and with superficial gas velocities ( v g ) from 0.25 to 3.5 cm/s, the average interfacial area ranged from...
