Certain Aspects of Infantile Paralysis

Abstract

and their correlation with intracardiac or extracardiac disease described. It is recognized, also, that the various groups sometimes overlap. In organic cardio¬ vascular disease, I have endeavored to estimate roughly the extent and nature of the pathologic damage, and to gage, if possible, the amount of remaining healthy tissue which may be favorably influenced by therapy.Thus studied, one may obtain a basis for rational therapy, with its prospects and limitations. The post¬ mortem specimens of advanced coronary, endocardial and myocardial disease, with the history of precordial distress during life, should not blind us to the fact that some of these patients have lived many years despite their diseased organs, and that other patients with equally damaged hearts have not suffered from pre¬ cordial distress during life.127S Madison Avenue.

Calcium Homeostasis of an Elderly Population upon Admission to a Nursing Home

“…Muscle strength was evaluated by a trained physical therapist on two subgroups of the recruited admissions; one group consisted of 19 consecutive study subject admissions and the other of 21 study subjects whose physicians had ordered a physical therapy evaluation. Manual strength evaluations of hip flexion, hip extension, hip abduction, hip adduction, knee extension, and knee flexion on both right and left lower extremities were based on an adaptation of the Lovett scale 20 where 0 represents no strength and 5 equals normal strength. These scores were added to arrive at a cumulative muscle strength score.…”

VR-DLR: A Serious Game of Somatosensory Driving Applied to Limb Rehabilitation Training

“…Patients can concentrate on controlling the steering wheel. This mode is mainly used for patients with rate 2-3 (moderate) upper limb disorders in the Muscle Strength Rating Table [13]. We set virtual routes on every city road.…”

“…In this mode, training of upper limbs is the main training task of VR-DLR, with ankle joint exercise as auxiliary training. This mode is mainly used for patients with limb disorders of rate 4 (mild) in the Muscle Strength Rating Table [13]. In this mode, in order make patients to obtain a more realistic driving experience and dynamically adjust the difficulty of driving, we simulate some physical properties of virtual car according real car, including the acceleration of the throttle-controlled and the speed of the tire, the friction between the tires and the ground, etc.…”

“…The contribution of this article is to design and develop a serious game of somatosensory interactive VR driving called VR-DLR for patients with moderate and mild limb disorders(levels 2-4 in Muscle Strength Classification [13]). We parameterize the training actions customized by rehabilitation physicians for different patients to automatically generate random scenes and training tasks.…”

Considerations and Practical Options for Measuring Muscle Strength: A Narrative Review

“…MMT has been in use for more than a century [33]. It involves the use of observation, palpation, and force application by an examiner to determine the strength of a muscle action.…”
