Effects of task complexity and sensory conflict on goal-directed movement.
10 Aug 2009 
Interactions between brain regions are necessary for compound activities to take place. Accordingly, evaluating hemispheric information processing during skilled behaviour provides valuable knowledge about brain regulation. To this end, the present ...

Volumetric effects of motor cortex injury on recovery of dexterous movements.
8 Aug 2009 Due to the heterogeneous nature of most brain injuries, the contributions of gray and white matter involvement to motor deficits and recovery potential remain obscure. We tested the hypothesis that duration of hand motor impairment and recovery of ...

Chondroitinase ABC treatment opens a window of opportunity for task-specific rehabilitation.
7 Aug 2009 Chondroitinase ABC treatment promotes spinal cord plasticity. We investigated whether chondroitinase-induced plasticity combined with physical rehabilitation promotes recovery of manual dexterity in rats with cervical spinal cord injuries. Rats ...

Hernia endotrainer: results of training on self-designed hernia trainer box.
30 Jul 2009 INTRODUCTION: Repair of groin and ventral hernias are among the technically difficult endoscopic procedures where the role of laparoscopic surgery is fast emerging. We have designed a laparoscopic simulator trainer box for hernia surgery, which ...

Moving from tube to oral feeding in medically fragile nonverbal toddlers.
30 Jul 2009 The current article describes a 14-week outpatient protocol for transitioning from gastrostomy tube to oral feeding in toddlers with medical complications. The team ensured that eating skills were mastered before treating patients for 8 weeks with ...

Physical activity of children in family child care.
30 Jul 2009 Physical activity was monitored for 65 boys and girls, during family child care, using accelerometry. Average accelerometer wear time was 7.0 h (SD = 0.83), and average counts per epoch were 104.6 (SD = 31.6). Mean minutes per hour of ...

The effect of a carbohydrate-caffeine sports drink on simulated golf performance.
30 Jul 2009 A round of golf lasts approximately 4 h, during which time homeostasis could be challenged through either hypoglycemia or hypohydration. This might result in impaired motor skill or cognitive performance. Given the high cognitive demand of putting ...
