Sensory-Motor Posture Control in Lumbar Disorders

Sensory processing disorders and social participation.

Participation in social aspects of daily life is crucial to children's development. Although disability status is recognized to affect children's ability to participate in social activities, little is understood about the impact of sensory processing disorders (SPD) on children's social participation.

Photoreceptor Sensory Cilium and Associated Disorders

The primary cilium is a microtubule-based extension of the plasma membrane, which is present in almost all cell types. Ciliary microtubules extend from a basal body (or mother centriole), which docks at the apical membrane. Elegant studies have been carried out to determine the mechanism that regulates the docking of the mother centriole at the membrane for cilia formation. Cilia function as an...
