BACKGROUND Sensorimotor function is degraded in patients after lower limb arthroplasty. Sensorimotor training is thought to improve sensorimotor skills, however, the optimal training stimulus with regard to volume, frequency, duration, and intensity is still unknown. The aim of this study, therefore, was to firstly quantify the progression of sensorimotor function after total hip (THA) or knee ...

OBJECTIVE This systematic review aims to summarise all the available evidence related to the association between pre-operative patient expectations (outcome expectations, process expectations and self efficacy expectations) and 5 different treatment outcomes (overall improvement, pain, function, stiffness and satisfaction) in patients with total knee or total hip arthroplasty at three different...

I t is now 16 years since Nowikoff (1908) accelerated the division rate of Paramecium by adding thyroid gland to his cultures. Later , Shumway (1914) reached the same conclusion after a series of more critical and painstaking experiments, and in the following year Budington and Harvey (1915) showed tha t thyroids from various vertebrates would produce similar results. Still later, Shumway (1917...

It is therefore wholly to its credit tha t Bell's book is so largely abstract . In this way he has secured the utmost generality and hence insured permanency to his work. There is also the following important immediate gain. After constructing abstract theories for various classes of problems, he was in a position to decide if those theories are distinct or are (abstractly) identical. In the la...

1. The convex hull of a random sample may be considered as one possible analogue of the range of a one-dimensional sample. Recent work along this line has dealt with the expected number of vertices, faces, surface area and other quantities connected with the convex hull of n independently and identically distributed random points in the plane and in higher dimensions. See Renyi and Salanke [6] ...
