Developmental and acquired brain injury have opposite effects on finger coordination in children
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023 The ability to coordinate finger forces to dexterously perform tasks develops in children as they grow older. Following brain injury, either developmental (as in cerebral palsy–CP) or acquired (as in traumatic brain injury—TBI), this developmental ...

Kinesiological study of the push-up motion in spinal cord injury patients: involving measurement of hand pressure applied to a force plate. [PDF]
, 2002 We studied the pressure exerted by hands during push-ups in 21 paraplegic and 2 tetraplegic patients employing 4 different hand positions. In the fingers-spread position, the initial force exerted was a vertical force (Fz), followed by a medio-lateral ...
