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...

Bimanual motor coordination in agenesis of the corpus callosum.

29 Sep 2009 The nature and extent of deficiencies in bimanual motor coordination in individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) was studied using the computerized Bimanual Coordination Test (cBCT). Compared with previous bimanual tasks, the cBCT is ... Read more...

Randomized trial of a parenting intervention for very preterm infants: outcome at 2 years.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: To determine the efficacy of a neonatal parenting intervention for improving development in very preterm infants. STUDY DESIGN: A cluster-randomized, controlled trial with a cross-over design and washout period was conducted in 6 ... Read more...
