This paper presents a low power logic family, called asynchronous fine-grain power-gated logic (AFPL). Each pipeline stage is comprised of the logic function called efficient charge recovery logic (ECRL) gatesand a handshake controller. ECRL gates have negligible leakage power dissipation. By incorporatingpartial charge reuse (PCR) mechanism the energy dissipation required to complete the evalu...

Background: The Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus (ECRL) and the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis (ECRB) are muscles of the posterior forearm compartment. variations in this area of the forearm are common and are usually diagnosed during surgery. Sometimes these variations are symptomatic and can be helpful in clinical procedures such as surgery. Diagnosis and identification of abnormalities can be ...

Upper extremity (UE) hemiparesis persists after stroke, limiting hand function. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an effective intervention to improve UE recovery, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Our objective was to establish a reliable protocol to measure UE agonist-antagonist forearm monosynaptic reflexes in a pilot study to determine if NMES improve...

Various adiabatic logic circuits can be used for minimizing the power dissipation. To enhance the functionality and performance of circuit two adiabatic logic families PFAL and ECRL have been used and compared with CMOS logic circuit design. In this paper, A MASTER-SLAVE D flip-flop is proposed by the use of SPICE simulation on 90nm technology files. The simulation result shows that PFAL is a b...

The implementation of a low power logic based asynchronous circuit with the help of power gated logic. In asynchronous power gated logic (APL) circuit, each pipeline stage was incorporated with efficient charge recovery logic (ECRL) gate; handshake controller and partial charge reuse (PCR) mechanism. The main objective was, to provide a new lower power solutions using power gating (PG) for very...

The extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) muscle originates from the distal third of the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus, front of lateral intermuscular septum and from the lateral epicondyle of humerus. The tendon of ECRL along with extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) passes through the second compartment of extensor retinaculum and inserts into the base of second metacarpal bone ...

This study explored the effect of vibration of the forearm extensors on motor cortical excitability and the influence of stimulus duration. Sixteen healthy volunteers between 23 and 42 years old participated in one or two studies. We applied 15 or 30 min of 100 Hz, 0.5 mm-amplitude vibration to the extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) muscle. Cortical excitability was measured as the magnitude...

The design of the wrist extensor muscles was studied using a combination of intraoperative laser diffraction and biomechanical modelling of data obtained from human patients and previously published data. Intraoperatively, the change in sarcomere length per degree joint angle rotation (i.e. dSL/d omega) was measured as the wrist was moved from neutral to full flexion in both the extensor carpi ...

OBJECTIVE Analize data on patients submitted to transfer of the pronator teres (PT) or the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCB) to the extensor carpi radialis longus/brevis (ECRL/B) in order to correct flexed wrist deformity in patients with cerebral palsy. METHOD Patients were divided into two groups: PT group and FCU group to ECRL/B. The results were evaluated by goniometry and by the functional hand...

We report the case of a 40-year-old woman with pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH), with a heterozygous mutation (c.806A > G, p.Asp269Gly) located in the Type 3 repeats domain of the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein gene, who complained of the unusual symptom of painful locking of the wrist. Her condition was caused by a non-traumatic enlargement of the extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) and bre...
