Objectives: Social development in children is influenced by several factors, including family, school friends, television, gender, race, socioeconomic status, and locomotor activity, and depending on the situation and how they react to it, social development and maturity might get accelerated or get undermined. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between fine moto...

Background and Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the flexibility of the ankle and knee joints and to determine its relationship with balance, motor function, and risk of falling in visually impaired individuals. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 32 blind males, 20-30 years old. They were selected by the purposeful sampling method. We used modified stork tests, tendon gai...

conclusions the length of sensory and motor blockade is shorter in chronic opioid abusers. adding 10 µg sufentanil to hyperbaric bupivacaine in opium abusers lengthened the sensory and motor block duration. results the duration of sensory and motor block were significantly less in group c (537.0 ± 40.1 minutes, 479.0 ± 34.8 minutes) and the longest duration of sensory and motor block was observ...

objective: the apoptosis of motor neurons is a critical phenomenon in spinal cord injuries. adult spinal cord slices were used to investigate whether voltage sensitive calcium channels and na+/ca2+ exchangers play a role in the apoptosis of motor neurons. materials and methods: in this experimental research, the thoracic region of the adult mouse spinal cord was sliced using a tissue chopper an...

many studies have been done on hybrid vehicles in the past few years. the full hybrid vehicles need a large number of batteries creating up to 300 (v) to meet the required voltage of electric motor. the size and weight of the batteries cause some problems. this research investigates the mild hybrid vehicle. this vehicle includes a small electric motor and a high power internal combustion engine...

tics are sudden, recurrent and stereotyped motor movements or vocalizations. dopamine blockers are the main pharmacological agents used in the management of tics. opioid antagonists have been reported to have been effective in the management of tics. in this article, two patients with chronic motor tic disorder are reported, whose symptoms were disappeared by using opioid substances.

background: children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/developmental coordination disorder (adhd/dcd) suffer from problems associated with gross and fine motor skills. there is no effective pharmacological therapy for such patients. we aimed to assess the impact of methylphenidate (mph) on motor performance of children with adhd/dcd. methods: in this double-blind placebo-controlled,...

This paper presents analysis and comparative study of a novel high-torque three-phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) with magnetically isolated stator segments. In the proposed SRM, each segment has a concentric winding located on the center body of it and two diametrically opposite windings which form the motor phase. There are four salient poles in the stator segment. Two of them share their...
