Impedance control reduces instability that arises from motor noise.

5 Oct 2009 There is ample evidence that humans are able to control the endpoint impedance of their arms in response to active destabilizing force fields. However, such fields are uncommon in daily life. Here, we examine whether the CNS selectively controls the ... Read more...

An analysis of disease severity based on SMN2 copy number in adults with spinal muscular atrophy.

29 Sep 2009 To evaluate the effect of SMN2 copy number on disease severity in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), we stratified 45 adult SMA patients based on SMN2 copy number (3 vs. 4 copies). Patients with 3 copies had an earlier age of onset and lower spinal ... Read more...

Vibration therapy.

29 Sep 2009 Whole-body vibration training is a method for muscle strengthening that is increasingly used in a variety of clinical situations. Key descriptors of vibration devices include the frequency, the amplitude, and the direction of the vibration movement. ... Read more...
