Upper-limb motor control involves similar circuits, located in the cervical spinal cord, suggesting that EES could also improve arm and hand movements after quadriplegia. However, the ability of cervical EES to selectively modulate specific upper-limb motor nuclei remains unclear. Here, we combined...
HoMEcare aRm rehabiLItatioN (MERLIN) is an unactuated version of the robotic device ArmAssist combined with a telecare platform. Stroke patients are able to train the upper limb function using serious games at home. The aim of this study is to investigat
The texting tasks were performed with participants in a sitting position on a chair with backrest and without armrests. The phone was held in one (preferred) hand while the thumb on this hand was used to activate the keys. The participants were instructed to sit upright with their back agai...
Construction workers, surgeons, dental care workers, mail carriers, daily computer work, and other occupations, or sports, that require consistent elevation of the arm, include those who are at the greatest risk in the general population (Cools et al., 2007a; Milerad and Ekenvall, 1990; ...
Outcome measures: Effectiveness measures: Pain: visual analogous scale (VAS), self-perceived WRULD (yes/no). Functional outcome: Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand- Dutch Language Version (DASH-DLV). Quality of life outcome: EQ-5D. Economic measures: health care costs including patient and...
could detect PD-L1 positivity in 39.7% of the patients using the CPS score (≥1) [42]. Compared to these results, our findings clearly have a higher proportion of positive tumors. Unlike Bajorin et al., we excluded non-invasive tumors from the analysis, which may have affected the ...
therapeutic tool for people suffering from leg pain of various types. The lack of hypoalgesic effects that we found in a healthy population may suggest that arm exercise is not applicable for clinical pain; however, further investigation of patient populations with lower-limb pain is needed....

Subjects were weaned from use of this support as their arm strength increased, only 5 out of 11 subjects needed the arm support for the entire study. Subjects spent 13.5 h on average using the system. In this study, 4 of 15 subjects (27%) spent more than 15 h on the system which ...
