Abstract Background Neuroscience and neurotechnology are transforming stroke rehabilitation. Robotic devices, in addition to telerehabilitation, increasingly being used train the upper limbs after stroke, their use at home allows us extend institutional rehabilitation by increasing prolonging therapy. The aim of this study is assess usability MERLIN robotic system based on serious games for lim...

Abstract Background In the current study, we applied a combination of non-invasive neuromodulation modalities concurrently with multiple stimulating electrodes. Specifically, used transcranial pulsed stimulation (tPCS) and transcutaneous electrical nerve (TENS) as novel strategy for improving lower limb spasticity in children spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) categorized on levels III–V Gross Motor ...

Objectives: To compare the effects of Rood Inhibitory approach and Bobath Reflex Inhibiting pattern to improve Gross motor Function reduce spasticity in Hemiplegic Children Encephalitis. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted comprising 22 patients recruited from different clinics Faisalabad. Participants both genders, age range 08-12 years were randomly allocated into two groups. T...

Semi-supervised constraint scores, which utilize both pairwise constraints and the local property of the unlabeled data to select features, achieve comparable performance to the supervised feature selection methods. The local property is characterized without considering the pairwise constraints and these two conditions are introduced independently. However, the pairwise constraints and the loc...

The CDC growth charts contain 10 smoothed percentiles (between the 3 and 97) of BMI for 24 to 240 month-old children and adolescents [3]. These smoothed estimates were subsequently used to derive lambda (L, the power transformation to achieve normality), mu (M, mean or median) and sigma (S, coefficient of variation) parameters for Cole's LMS method [4,5]. Estimates of these 3 parameters allow t...

Upper limb spasticity (ULS) is a common pathophysiological changes manifest by structural damage towards the central nervous system (CNS) that includes brain and spinal cord. The current clinical practice of assessment utilizes Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) as subjective tool to measure severity spasticity. Lack objective value, poor sensitivity in detecting minimal changes, dependency interpre...
