Summary Upper extremity compartment syndromes are difficult conditions that are manifest in a myriad of ways. Careful attention to the details of the history and physical examination can assist in ...

Objective To examine a new neurological sign that uses synergistic oppositional movements of the arms to evaluate for non-organic upper extremity weakness. Methods Patients with unilateral arm ...

There are no upper limb isometric force platform tests in the literature for comparison, but this compares favourably to the reliability reported for upper limb HHD tests such as internal and external ...

Traumatic brachial plexus injury (BPI) results in significant disability, often hindering functionality in the patient’s daily life. Post- surgery, muscle strength recovery can take up to two years, ...

On examination at the time of transfer, the patient had 0 out of 5 strength in the left upper extremity and 2 out of 5 strength in the left lower extremity (both on MRC scale). A repeat brain MRI ...

Background: Low load resistance training with blood flow restriction (LL-BFRT) has been shown to improve muscle strength and hypertrophic function. The effect of LL-BFRT on lower extremity muscle ...

Background: Stroke often impairs upper extremity motor function, with recovery in the sub-acute phase being crucial for regaining independence. This study examines changes in isometric muscle strength ...

Discussion The authors presented a groundbreaking integration of a cloud-based DL platform, a robotic exoskeleton for strength augmentation, and soft bioelectronics for sensory feedback, resulting in ...

Upper extremity strength was 5/5 in the deltoids and biceps, 2/5 in triceps and 4/5 grip strength bilaterally. Biceps and brachioradialis reflexes were 2+ bilaterally with no Hoffman’s sign notable on ...

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the effects of upper extremity home exercises on grip strength, range of motion, activity performance, and functionality in individuals with systemic ...

Upper extremity function is the highest priority of tetraplegics for improving quality of life. We aim to determine the therapeutic potential of transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation for ...
