un 2 00 6 The knee - jerk mapping
We claim to give the definitive theory of what we call the ‘kneejerk mapping’, which is the basis for a class of optimization algorithms introduced by Baum, and promoted by Dempster, Laird, and Rubin under the name ‘EM algorithm’. Introduction We give the definitive theory of the knee-jerk mapping, to be defined below. This mapping has been investigated by many people, most notably Baum ([2], [...
متن کاملEliciting knee jerk--a new method of reinforcement.
This study was designed to detect the sensitivity of different methods of eliciting knee jerks and to compare the conventional methods with the newly purposed maneuver. Knee jerk (a deep tendon reflex) was elicited in 123 apparently normal population (77 males and 46 females) with three different methods (1) without applying reinforcement, (2) applying Jendrassik maneuver (strong voluntary cont...
متن کاملKnee joint angular velocities and accelerations during the patellar tendon jerk.
Tendon jerk (TJ) is one of the most commonly used clinical tests in differential diagnosis of human motor disorders. There remains some ambiguity in the physiological interpretation of the test, especially with respect to its association to the functional status of patients. The TJ test inputs a non-physiological stimuli, but it is unclear to what degree the kinematics generated during the TJ t...
متن کاملPerioperative adjuvant corticosteroids for postoperative analgesia in knee arthroplasty
Background and purpose - Immediate postoperative pain management offered in knee arthroplasty is suboptimal in up to one-third of patients resulting in high opiate consumption and delayed discharge. In this meta-analysis we investigate the analgesic effect and safety of perioperative adjuvant corticosteroids in knee arthroplasty. Methods - Databases Medline, Embase, and Central were searched fo...
