Today, often ankle’s active prosthesis is used for transtibial amputated people’s walking, because these prostheses have some advantages such as increasing power and decreasing metabolism. In most of active prosthesis in order to create a movement or increase the force at the push-off, electrical actuators are used like a motor. In cases where a higher-power motor is necessary, the capacity, we...

Inspired by the discovery of dimeric motor proteins capable of undergoing transportation in living cells, significant efforts have been expended recently to the fabrication of track-walking nanomotors possessing two foot-like components that each can bind or detach from an array of anchorage groups on the track in response to local events of reagent consumption. The central problem in fabricati...

background and objectives: motor development is considered as a part of the process of growth and development in which the child, firstly gains control over his own body function, and then utilizes it for interaction and manipulation with the environment. the aim of this study was to standardize of peabody developmental motor scale (pdms) in normal children aged 72 to 83 months living in tehran...

AIM To examine the functional abilities of extremely low birthweight (ELBW, < or = 800 g) children at school age compared with full term children. METHODS ELBW children (n = 115) in a geographically defined regional cohort born between 1974 and mid-1985 (comprising 96% of 120 survivors of 400 ELBW infants admitted to the Provincial Tertiary neonatal intensive care unit), were compared with (n...
