A systematic review identified tactile assessments used in children with cerebral palsy (CP), but their reproducibility is unknown. Sixteen children with unilateral CP and 31 typically developing children (TDC) were assessed 2-4 weeks apart. Test-retest percent agreements within one point for children with unilateral CP (and TDC) were Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments: 75% (90%); single-point loca...

In this paper, we prove common fixed point theorems for two hybrid pairs of multivalued and single valued mappings on noncomplete metric spaces using the property (E.A). We improve the results of Damjanović et al [1] and several other authors.

The effects of signal and noise on contrast discrimination are difficult to separate because of a singularity in the signal-detection-theory model of two-alternative forced-choice contrast discrimination (Katkov, Tsodyks, & Sagi, 2006). In this article, we show that it is possible to eliminate the singularity by combining that model with a binocular combination model to fit monocular, dichoptic...

China Full list of author information is available at the end of the article Abstract In this paper, a new concept of the common property (E.A) for two hybrid pairs of mappings is introduced in Menger PM-spaces. Utilizing this concept, some common fixed point theorems, which shed some new...

This study was designed to observe and compare the circadian fluctuations in tactile sense, joint reposition sense and two-point discrimination in healthy subjects. Twenty-one healthy adult subjects received perceptual ability tests through these three different sensory modules at approximately 9:00, 13:00 and 18:00 in a day. The distribution of ranking for perceptual ability was significantly ...

Results: 15 subjects improved their Jebsen-Taylor test score while 3 reduced their score and 2 were unchanged. The 16 subjects who were unable to complete the full test at the start of the trial, were able to complete an average of an additional 3.4 tasks, an increase of 24.7% (p<0.001) There was a significant increase in key grip of 38 % (p < 0.01). The mean two point discrimination score incr...
