With the goal to generate more scalable algorithms with higher efficiency and fewer open parameters, reinforcement learning (RL) has recently moved towards combining classical techniques from optimal control and dynamic programming with modern learning techniques from statistical estimation theory. In this vein, this paper suggests to use the framework of stochastic optimal control with path in...

background: frozen shoulder is resulting in limb disability and reduction of quality of life but the factors associated with patients’ disability and quality of life is not clear. to assess pain, disability, the quality of life and factors associated with them in patients suffering from frozen shoulder.  methods: we enrolled 120 patients (37 men and 83 women) with phase-ii idiopathic frozen sho...
