Functional sensibility assessment. Part II: Effects of sensory improvement on precise pinch force modulation after transverse carpal tunnel release.

30 Oct 2009 Patients with median nerve compression at the carpal tunnel often have poor sensory afferents. Without adequate sensory modulation control, these patients frequently exhibit clumsy performance and excessive force output in the affected hand. We ... Read more...

Frailty and incidence of activities of daily living disability among older Mexican Americans.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between frailty status and incidence of disability among non-disabled older Mexican Americans. DESIGN: A 10-year prospective cohort study. SUBJECTS: A total of 1645 non-institutionalized Mexican Americans aged ... Read more...

Grafting neural precursor cells promotes functional recovery in an SCA1 mouse model.

19 Oct 2009 The B05 transgenic SCA1 mice, expressing human ataxin-1 with an expanded polyglutamine tract in cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs), recapitulate many pathological and behavioral characteristics of the neurodegenerative disease spinocerebellar ataxia ... Read more...
