A Core Head, Neck, and Neuroanatomy Syllabus for Physical Therapy Student Education
Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Head, neck, and neuroanatomy are essential components of physical therapy education due to their broad clinical applications. Detailed syllabi exist for medical students, yet none have been developed for physical therapy. This study aimed to produce an International Federation of Associations of Anatomists core head, neck, and neuroanatomy ...

Reciprocal Inhibition Post-stroke is Related to Reflex Excitability and Movement Ability [PDF]
, 2012 Objective Decreased reciprocal inhibition (RI) of motor neurons may contribute to spasticity after stroke. However, decreased RI is not a uniform observation among stroke survivors, suggesting that this spinal circuit may be influenced by other stroke ...

Protocol for Reconstituting Adaptor‐Mediated Activation of Full‐Length Kinesin‐1
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Kinesin‐1 is a member of the kinesin superfamily that plays an essential role in intracellular cargo transport. In the absence of cargo, Kinesin‐1 exhibits low motor activity due to autoinhibition. Multiple studies have demonstrated that adaptor proteins, which link cargos to Kinesin‐1, can activate Kinesin‐1 by releasing the autoinhibition ...

Movement kinematics and proprioception in post-stroke spasticity: assessment using the Kinarm robotic exoskeleton [PDF]
, 2019 Background Motor impairment after stroke interferes with performance of everyday activities. Upper limb spasticity may further disrupt the movement patterns that enable optimal function; however, the specific features of these altered movement patterns,
