The research work deals with the actual problem of visual impairment in children at an early age, which creates difficulties accumulation sensory experience, delays formation mental processes. Children impairments have specific peculiarities activity, communication and psychophysical development, are manifested lagging, originality development motor spatial orientation, ideas concepts, methods ...

The timed up and go test (TUG) is a common clinical functional balance often used to complement findings on sensorimotor changes due aging or sensory/motor dysfunction. instrumented TUG can be obtain objective postural gait measures that are more sensitive mobility changes. We investigated whether body coordination during representative of walking. examined the walking phase compared metrics (s...

This study deals with the synthesis and evaluation of salen based derivatives as fire retardants in thermoplastic polyurethane. Salens, hydroxysalens and their first row transition metal complexes (salen-M) were synthesized (Copper, Manganese, Nickel and Zinc). They were then incorporated in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with a loading as low as 10:1 weight ratio. The thermal stability as we...

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent) 2006;19:406–408 A 58-year-old Caucasian man who worked as a pilot presented with symptoms of left-sided facial weakness, dysarthria, and incoordination of the left upper extremity. The patient reported a history of previous transient vision loss 9 years earlier, from which he recovered. He had no vascular risk factors based on his medical history, but his mother and ma...

introduction: mild cognitive impairment can be considered as an intermediate clinical state between normal cognitive aging and mild dementia. elderly people with this impairment represent an at-risk group for the development of dementia. the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cognitive impairment in community-dwelling older adults by mini-mental state examination (mmse) and ...

A 35-year-old woman with no previous medical history presented with a 3-day history of progressive left hemisensory loss, ataxia and hemiparesis. On neurological examination she had Medical Research Council (MRC) grade 4 pyramidal weakness, hyper-reflexia and mild incoordination on the left side. Sensory examination revealed decreased light touch, pain, temperature, vibration sense and proprioc...

The aim of this review was to examine the literature on the effects of surgery of the spastic hand in children with cerebral palsy on functional outcome and muscle coordination. We performed a search of the relevant literature in Medline, Embase, and Biological Abstracts from 1966 to June 2006. The search resulted in eight studies on the effect of surgery on functional outcome and three studies...

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a condition that results in an impairment of gross and/or fine motor coordination. Compromised motor coordination contributes to lower levels of physical activity, which is associated with elevated body fat. The impact of elevated body fat on motor coordination diagnostic assessments in children with DCD has not been established. The purpose of this ...
