Children at risk for developmental coordination disorder: judgement of changes in action capabilities.

17 Nov 2009 In three separate manipulations, a group of children at risk for developmental coordination disorder (DCD; five males, seven females; mean age 11y 6mo [SD 6.8mo] who were at or below the 15th centile on the Movement ABC) and a group of typically ... Read more...

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...

Ipsilateral deficits in 1-handed shoe tying after left or right hemisphere stroke.

29 Sep 2009 Poole JL, Sadek J, Haaland KY. Ipsilateral deficits in 1-handed shoe tying after left or right hemisphere stroke. OBJECTIVE: To examine 1-handed shoe tying performance and whether cognitive deficits more associated with left or right hemisphere ... Read more...
