Abstract Background Research studies on upper limb prosthesis function often rely the use of simulated myoelectric prostheses (attached to and operated by individuals with intact limbs), primarily increase participant sample size. However, it is not known if these devices elicit same movement strategies as (operated amputation). The objective this study was address question whether non-disabled...

The data were collected from observation audio recorder during one meeting two Muhammadiya...

background: primary hyperhidrosis (ph) refers to excessive sweating, beyond normal physiological levels, in specific sites of the body for unknown reasons. it is usually bilateral and is most prominent in the palms, axillae, feet, and face. ph prevalence is estimated to be 0%-6.1% in different populations. it usually begins in childhood and is more frequent in women. in 57% of cases, there is a...

Neurodegenerative diseases become clinically apparent only after a substantial population of neurons is lost. This raises the possibility of compensatory mechanisms in the early phase of these diseases. The importance of understanding these mechanisms cannot be underestimated because it may guide future disease-modifying strategies. Because the anatomy and physiology of the nigrostriatal dopami...

An increasing ageing society and consequently rising number of post-stroke related neurological dysfunction patients are forcing the rehabilitation field to adapt to ever-growing demands. In parallel, an unprecedented number of research efforts and technological solutions meant for human monitoring are continuously influencing traditional methodologies, causing paradigm shifts; extending the th...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has a detrimental impact on athletic performance. Despite rehabilitation guidelines and criterion-based progressions to ensure safe restoration of fundamental physical capacities maladaptive movement strategies, residual deficits in maximal strength, rate force development (RFD), power reactive strength are commonly reported. These combined with a...

The lack of a causal and successful treatment for sepsis has led to a re-evaluation of the condition's pathophysiology. The failure of anti-inflammatory strategies has implied compensatory immunosuppression to play a central part in fatal clinical cases. While searching for novel therapeutic strategies, the question arose whether pro-inflammation (systemic inflammatory response syndrome, SIRS) ...

Three studies sought to investigate decision strategies in memory-based decisions and to test the predictions of the parallel constraint satisfaction (PCS) model for decision making (Glöckner & Betsch, 2008). Time pressure was manipulated and the model was compared against simple heuristics (take the best and equal weight) and a weighted additive strategy. From PCS we predicted that fast intuit...
