Background: The aim of this study was to compare energy expenditure (EE) predicted by accelerometery (EEAcc) with indirect calorimetry (EEMETA) in individuals hemiparesis. Methods: Twenty-four participants (12 stroke and 12 healthy controls) performed a six-minute walk test (6MWT) during which EEMETA measured using portable system EEACC calculated Bouten’s equation (1993) data from three-axis a...

Encephalocele is a rare condition that consists of herniation of cerebral matter through openings of dura and skull. A majority of encephaloceles are congenital and manifest in childhood. We present a case of a 45-year-old man presenting with contralateral hemiparesis and found to have an extremely rare phenomenon of a symptomatic posttraumatic parietal intradiploic encephalocele (IE) manifesti...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether, and to what extent, persons with hemiparesis retain the ability to exploit motor abundance to coordinate their joint motions to control the hand's ...
