Complete thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a loss of innervation to the abdominal muscles, which affects trunk stability and performance of activities of daily living from a sitting position. Respiratory function is also affected, leading to frequent pulmonary complications. Given the importance of trunk stability and respiratory function, we investigated the effects of electromyography triggered electrical stimulation (EMG-ES) applied to the abdominal muscles on sitting balance, respiratory functions and abdominal muscle thickness in individuals with complete thoracic SCI...

BACKGROUND: The two major reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) designs are the Grammont design and the lateralized design. Even if the lateralized design is biomechanically favored, the classic Grammont prosthesis continues to be used. Functional and subjective patient scores as well as implant survival described in the literature so far are comparable to the lateralized design. A pure comparison of how the RSA design influences outcome in patients has not yet been determined. The aim of this study was a comparison focused on patients with cuff tear arthropathy (CTA)...

During the postoperative hand rehabilitation period, it is recommended that the repaired flexor tendons be continuously glided with sufficient tendon excursion and carefully managed protection to prevent adhesion with adjacent tissues. Thus, finger joints should be passively mobilized through a wide range of motion (ROM) with physiotherapy. During passive mobilization, sequential flexion of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint followed by the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint is recommended for maximizing tendon excursion...

BACKGROUND: Objective measures of screen time are necessary to better understand the complex relationship between screen time and health outcomes. However, current objective measures of screen time (e.g., passive sensing applications) are limited in identifying the user of the mobile device, a critical limitation in children's screen time research where devices are often shared across a family. Behavioral biometrics, a technology that uses embedded sensors on modern mobile devices to continuously authenticate users, could be used to address this limitation...

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate risk factors for recurrence of frozen shoulder after shoulder manipulation under ultrasound-guided cervical nerve root block (MUC). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 135 frozen shoulders in 121 patients who underwent MUC. We defined frozen shoulder as a limited shoulder range of motion (ROM) (passive forward flexion <120°, external rotation <30°, or internal rotation lower than L3). Patients fulfilling any one criteria were considered to have frozen shoulder...

The motion of passive particles in a confined square domain filled with active fluids has been numerically simulated using a direct-fictitious domain method. The ratio of particle diameter to the side length of the square domain ( d p / L ) is adopted to classify the degree of confinement ( i.e. , strong or weak confinement). The translational mean-squared displacement (MSDT ) of weakly-confined particles scales well with the reported theoretical and experimental results in a short time and eventually reaches a plateau because of the confined environment...

Brachial plexus birth injuries cause diminished motor function in the upper extremity. The most common sequel is internal rotation contracture. A number of these patients also suffer from cocontractions, preventing the use of an otherwise good passive range of motion in the shoulder. One theory behind the co-contracture problem is that injured nerve fibers grow into distal support tissue not corresponding to the proximal support tissue, resulting in reinnervation of the wrong muscle groups. To further elucidate this hypothesis, we used rat neonates to investigate a possible model for the study of cocontractions in brachial plexus birth injuries...

We study a stochastic process where an active particle, modeled by a one-dimensional run-and-tumble particle, searches for a target with a finite absorption strength in thermal environments. Solving the Fokker-Planck equation for a uniform initial distribution, we analytically calculate the mean searching time (MST), the time for the active particle to be finally absorbed, and show that there exists an optimal self-propulsion velocity of the active particle at which MST is minimized. As the diffusion constant increases, the optimal velocity changes from a finite value to zero, which implies that a purely diffusive Brownian motion outperforms an active motion in terms of searching time...

The motion of a heavy mass on a bridge span causes vibrations whose magnitude and frequency content depend on the mechanical properties of the structural system, including the magnitude of that mass and its speed of traverse. In order to limit vibrations that could potentially cause damage, a simple passive device configuration, namely the tuned mass damper (TMD), is introduced and its effect on the beam vibrations analyzed. Specifically, a TMD in the form of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) unit comprising a mass and a spring is placed on the span to act as a secondary system for absorbing vibrations from the primary system, i...

Intense threat elicits action in the form of active and passive coping. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) executes top-level control over the selection of threat coping strategies, but the dynamics of mPFC activity upon continuing threat encounters remain unexplored. Here, we used 1-photon calcium imaging in mice to probe the activity of prefrontal pyramidal cells during repeated exposure to intense threat in a tail suspension (TS) paradigm. A subset of prefrontal neurons displayed selective activation during TS, which was stably maintained over days...
