background: selective alveolar corticotomy is defined as an intentional injury to cortical bone. this technique is an effective means of accelerating orthodontic tooth movement. the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of buccal corticotomy in accelerating maxillary canine retraction. materials and methods: the sample in this clinical trial study consisted of 15 adult female patients wit...

The aim of this paper is to propose an exploratory study on simple, accurate and 19 computationally efficient movement classification technique for prosthetic hand application. The 20 surface myoelectric signals were acquired from 2 muscles – Flexor Carpi Ulnaris and Extensor Carpi 21 Radialis of 4 normal-limb subjects. These signals were segmented and the features extracted using a 22 new comb...

OBJECTIVES We recently showed that diminished motor cortical excitability is associated with high levels of post-stroke fatigue. Motor cortex excitability impacts movement parameters such as reaction and movement times. We predicted that one or both would be influenced by the presence of post-stroke fatigue. METHODS 41 first-time stroke survivors (high fatigue n=21, Fatigue Severity Scale 7 (...
