TOUCHSCREEN-BASED ASSESSMENT OF UPPER LIMB KINEMATICS AFTER STROKE: RELIABILITY, VALIDITY AND SENSITIVITY TO MOTOR IMPAIRMENT

Touchscreen-based assessment of upper limb kinematics after stroke: Reliability, validity and sensitivity to motor impairment

Abstract Background Conventional clinical tools for assessing upper limb motor function often lack the sensitivity and specificity needed to detect subtle changes in motor performance and may be subject to bias.Kinematic assessment offers a potential solution by providing objective, precise, and detailed data on movement quality.However, it is typi

An Efficient Motion Control System for Underwater Gliders

This paper describes an underwater glider motion control system intended to enhance locomotive efficiency by reducing the energy expended by vehicle guidance and control.In previous work, the authors obtained an approximate analytical expression for steady turning motion as a regular perturbation from wings level flight.Using this steady turn solut

Sequential SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccination Induces Anti-Idiotype (Anti-ACE2) Antibodies in K18 Human ACE2 Transgenic Mice

Background/Objectives: Novel mRNA vaccines have been successfully utilized to curtail the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.However, the immunology underlying CoV2 vaccinations, particularly with repeated boosting, has not been properly characterized due to limitations in the preclinical modeling of SARS-CoV-2 infection/vaccinations as well as constantly changin
