BackgroundThe age of onset MS appears to influence the course disease progression and people with younger might have a different disability trajectory.ObjectivesTo identify longitudinal patterns progression, as measured by changes in Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC), young drug trials estimate extent which differ two groups (≤25 years 26 – 35 years).MethodsData from Outcomes Asses...

This paper presents a comprehensive comparison study on the dynamic performances of three planar 3-DOF parallel manipulators (PPMs): 3-RRR, 3-PRR, and 3-RPR. In this research work, discrete time transfer matrix method (DT-TMM) is employed for developing models manipulators. Numerical simulations using virtual work principle ADAMS 2016 software are performed to verify DT-TMM model PPMs. Numerous...

The Study research aims to determine the levels of organizational affiliation in under study private universities, through their indicators (performance, experience, workload, distributive justice), and so identify availability dimensions Strategic Ambidexterity represented by (Exploratory dexterity, Exploitative structural dexterity), addition knowing correlation impact relationships between t...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in task performance, grip and pinch strength, and dexterity with and without cock-up splints, which are widely used in occupational therapy practice. [Methods] Twenty-three participants performed Jebsen-Taylor hand function test and grooved pegboard for task performance and dexterity. The power grip and pinch strength was mea...

OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to compare a range of cooling methods possibly utilised by occupational workers, focusing on their effect on body temperature, perception and manual dexterity. METHODS Ten male participants completed eight trials involving 30 min of seated rest followed by 30 min of cooling or control of no cooling (CON) (34°C, 58% relative humidity). The cooling methods util...

BACKGROUND Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocol that influences cortical excitability and motor function recovery. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effects of iTBS on manual dexterity and hand motor imagery in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. METHODS Thirty-six MS patients were non-randomly assigned into...
