(NCAM).5 It has been shown that during disuse or inactivity, circulating levels of CAF are increased and NCAM is relocalized in synaptic and extrasynaptic sites within the myofiber, while rehabilitation protocol of physical exercise recovering skeletal muscle mass and func...
Moreover, a surgeon desires the ability to avoid surgical exploration of the fusion or disc implant site to confirm abnormal motion. The smart screw is an implantable sensor system that is applied at the bone-implant surface. Since a spinal fusion requires integration of the “cage” or spinal...
