Effects of velocity on maximal torque production in poststroke hemiparesis.
Impaired torque production is a major physical impairment following stroke, and has been studied extensively in isometric conditions. However, functional use of a limb requires torque production during movement, and the effects of velocity on maximal torque production may be abnormally enhanced in the paretic limb. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of movement velocity on ma...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of single particle trajectories: mean maximal excursion method.
An increasing number of experimental studies employ single particle tracking to probe the physical environment in complex systems. We here propose and discuss what we believe are new methods to analyze the time series of the particle traces, in particular, for subdiffusion phenomena. We discuss the statistical properties of mean maximal excursions (MMEs), i.e., the maximal distance covered by a...
متن کاملPoststroke Hemiplegic Patients
Background and Purpose: Rehabilitation therapy is believed to be useful during the first few months after stroke when recovery usually takes place. However, evidence exists that this may not be the rule for all stroke victims. Therefore, we investigated, in a selected group of poststroke patients, the profile of recovery in response to long-term rehabilitation therapy. Methods: Fifty-one hemipl...
متن کاملUse of an anatomical scalar to control for sex-based size differences in measures of hyoid excursion during swallowing.
PURPOSE Traditional methods for measuring hyoid excursion from dynamic videofluoroscopy recordings involve calculating changes in position in absolute units (mm). This method shows a high degree of variability across studies but agreement that greater hyoid excursion occurs in men than in women. Given that men are typically taller than women, the authors hypothesized that controlling for partic...
متن کاملCoagulation-fibrinolysis abnormalities in poststroke patients.
We thank Drs Shahar, McGovern, and Spraflca for their interest in our paper in which we demonstrated, inter alia, that low doses of aspirin may not be as efficacious as higher doses. Our sample population was indeed matched, and Shahar et al are correct in pointing out that analysis for data obtained according to a matched design should have been performed. However, it is possible to ignore mat...
