We characterize the position value for TU games with a cooperation structure in terms of the Myerson value of some natural modification of the original game–the link agent form. This construction is extended to TU games with a conference structure. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Number: C71.

BACKGROUND Optimal motor control of the spine depends on proprioceptive input as a prerequisite for co-ordination and the stability of the spine. Muscle spindles are known to play an important role in proprioception. Animal experiments suggest that an increase in sympathetic outflow can depress muscle spindle sensitivity. As the muscle spindle may be influenced by sympathetic modulation, we hyp...

Joint position sense has been suggested to be an important factor in the etiology of degenerative joint disease. It is also believed to be important in the rehabilitative process after reconstructive surgery of the knee. Despite this awareness, in many areas of orthopaedic surgery little effort has been devoted to study of this crucial topic. Therefore, we conducted several studies of knee join...

Spatially coordinated behavior is possible only because many features of the body's structure and of the structure of the world are highly predictable. From the primitive chaos of the impressions collected by our sense organs, a system of stable and permanent spatial referents progressively emerges in relation to the moving and ever-changing framework of bodily positions. The prerequisite to th...

Traditionally, proprioception has been assessed with a passive model, in which an external apparatus moves a body segment. Recently, protocols have been developed based on active movements, which are more representative of functional activities. However, even these approaches require expensive testing equipment and the necessity of a visit to a research lab, as there are no commercially availab...
